NORTH MUSKEGON, Mich. -- Wesco Inc., a self-distributed operator of more than 50 convenience stores, has selected the KSS suite of fuels pricing products, incorporating PriceNet, PriceNet Mobile and KSS Visualizer, for a company-wide implementation.
Wesco has chosen the KSS product suite to improve the process through which it gathers, validates and presents market-level information to the pricing team. It was imperative, the company said, that KSS could provide a quick response to competitor price moves while maintaining accuracy, consistency and effectiveness in pricing decisions.
"[image-nocss] PriceNet, PriceNet Mobile and KSS Visualizer will help us ensure we provide competitive pricing at all times while giving our store personnel more time to focus on delivering fast, friendly service to our customers," said Jerry Westgate, Wesco co-president.
"KSS fuels pricing systems carry the burden of information gathering and presentation to leave pricing and store-level personnel with the time to focus on genuine value-adding activities," said Bob Stein, KSS CEO.
Florham Park, N.J.-based KSS provides pricing analytics, price management, rules-based pricing and optimization technology and services to fuel retailers and wholesalers in the oil and gas, c-store, grocery and big-box retail industries. KSS clients include global, national and regional companies managing a total of more than $140 billion in revenue through more than 20,000 fuel sites and rack terminals throughout the world.
North Muskegon, Mich.-based Wesco began in 1952 as Westgate Refinery Outlet. It opened its first c-store in 1978. The company has more than 900 employees with annual revenue of $400 million.Members help make our journalism possible.
