  • Challenges Takeaways
    Strategic White Paper CHALLENGES The Fuel Price Optimization Solution that is Winning the Battle for Profit and Brand Growth Losing the fuel price/profit margin battle against competitors Losing market share Contents Introduction 2 Growing Industry Leaders Use PriceAdvantage 2 TAKEAWAYS A Closer Look: CEFCO 4 A Closer Look: Royal Farms 4 Integrating automated fuel price optimization and price A Closer Look: Spinx 4 updates to all locations A Closer Look: Valero 4 maximizes profit, positions Optimize or Be Acquired? 5 c-store brands for growth About PriceAdvantage 5 v Introduction In the competitive retail fuel and convenience store markets, the fastest-growing chains are leveraging tools that give them real-time data for setting the “sweet spot” price that brings the customer off the street and to the pump and into the store. They’re also closing the loop with systems that centralize and automate price updates—meaning the optimized price is instantly on display on every sign and pump at every store, with simultaneous updates sent to POS systems and web, smart devices, and social networks. Bundling these price updates means that retail fuel price managers can be confident that the optimal price is in effect without the need for communication to or intervention by dozens, or even hundreds, of store managers. We saved half a penny per gallon driving record fuel sales and profitability in the first year. This was largely due to automation with PriceAdvantage software and Skyline's electronic price signs. — Rob Rinehart, Director of Retail Petroleum, Royal Farms By automating the three major components of the pricing process—collection of key data presented for meaningful analysis, automation of fuel price determination and the integration of technologies to get that optimized price to store and ultimately your customers—fuel retailers and c-stores are literally turning pennies into millions and winning the battle for profit and brand growth.
