Fuel Up Your Store And Drive More Business

There is a growing trend in the supermarket industry of selling gasoline and offering gas rewards to cross promote.  The list of supermarket chains already offering gas is growing: Albertson's, Costco, Kroger, Safeway, Wal-Mart, etc.  The list goes on.  In the near future grocers not selling gasoline will find themselves at a real disadvantage.  The push to add gas is seen as critical to increase traffic, add convenience and drive customer loyalty.

STCR is excited to announce a new solution being offered to our customers:  SMS Fuel Control. SMS Fuel Control allows for the integration of your POS system with fuel pump capability. With one consolidated system, merchants can now manage all aspects of a fuel based operation.

All the features a merchants expects are at-the-pump, including prepay and at-the-pump authorization. Additionally, this system adds capabilities to enhance control and flexibility for your business.  SMS Fuel provides: pump control from any POS, full or self-service operations (or a combination), integrated inventory and reporting, price book management and much more.

Promotions motivate customers and drive business, and SMS Fuel easily delivers. With the same system managing both gas and in-store operations, SMS Fuel stores can customize numerous options within the system to appeal to a broader customer base. Major features include:
  • Pump Control
  • Pay at the Pump
  • Cross Promotions
  • Roll Back Price
  • Advertising
