COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- PriceAdvantage, a division of Skyline Products, has formed a partnership with AutoGas, provider of point-of-sale (POS) solutions and dispenser control systems. A joint customer with more than 100 fuel sites has already begun the implementation plan that will integrate PriceAdvantage with AutoGas POS and AutoGas Fuel Controller. The expected results are that the customer will cut down their pricing process by three hours per day, allowing them to change prices two to three per day as opposed to currently changing prices once a day.
PriceAdvantage receives daily surveys from store managers; then price proposals are sent for approval and upon approval PriceAdvantage synchronizes with the AutoGas POS system and AutoGas Fuel Controller to ensure that prices are updated from the store to the street.
By working together, PriceAdvantage and AutoGas will increase store efficiencies by taking the burden off of store managers to synchronize prices from the POS to the pump, thus enabling store managers more face time with their customers and ensuring that prices are changes accurately.
