Pinnacle Partners With Gulfcoast

Deal offers more DVR, loss-prevention solutions to Palm POS clients

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Pinnacle Corp. has formed a partnership with Gulfcoast Software Solutions, which specializes in digital video recording (DVR) and loss prevention by integrating third-party point-of-sale (POS) journal data with its proprietary digital video hardware and software solutions.

With our exception-based tools and alerts, store managers and LP executives will complete their routines in a just a few minutes each morning, and issues will be addressed in hours, not days or weeks, said Tim Lindblom, vice president of Gulfcoast. With the [image-nocss] wealth of data Palm POS provides, we have really locked down fraud at the point of sale, and with real-time monitoring and alerts, corporate leadership will already have the information they need to respond.

Pinnacle has certified Gulfcoast's DVR and loss-prevention solutions for use with the Pinnacle Palm POS v9. Palm supports integration to Gulfcoast's solutions via the petroleum convenience retail industry's NAXML standards as developed and supported by the Petroleum Convenience Alliance for Technology Standards (PCATS).

With the integration of Gulfcoast's loss-prevention solutions to Pinnacle's Palm POS, we enable retailers' the ability to tie their [POS] journal transaction data to digitally recorded and stored video, said Drew Mize, vice president retail solutions for Pinnacle. Data is critical and tells an important story, but a picture is worth a thousand words; this integration significantly strengthens Palm's loss-prevention value proposition.
