shortens transaction time and lines for our customers. Passport has also added
a number of new features that modernize technology for store operation.”

Mart is known for their outstanding customer service, brand, and the
neighborhood atmosphere at their stores," said Kirsten Paust, Gilbarco

Passport for its fit with their store offering and desired customer experience. The
system provides them with powerful merchandising tools and seamlessly
integrates with a variety of their store devices. The simplicity of
operating and maintaining the system has allowed their employees to focus on
providing excellent service, rather than operation of the POS system."
