YORK, Pa. Rutter’s is working with PDI Hosting Services to increase its infrastructure and strengthen its data security measures.

Your, Pa.-based Rutter’s is a longtime PDI user that currently uses several of PDI’s solutions and services. With the addition of PDI’s data hosting service, Rutter’s infrastructure environment will run on a dedicated, single-tenant, multi-petabyte private cloud that is fully managed and monitored by PDI.

“In recent years, the amount of data convenience stores contend with every day has increased exponentially, and that’s especially true for growing chains like ours,” said Scott Hartman, CEO of Rutter’s. “The time and hardware investment it takes to maintain, scale, and secure that environment wasn’t sustainable. PDI provides a great solution that meets our technology, cost and expertise requirements and allows our people to focus on other strategic initiatives that enable us to serve our customers better.”

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, remote work and cyberattacks have increased around the world. PDI Hosting Services enables remote operations for convenience retailers and petroleum marketers of any size. Customers also have access to the PDI Technology Services team to perform software upgrades. In addition, the service offers data backups, disaster recovery and intrusion detection that improve data reliability and reduce the risk of security breaches that compromise sensitive financial and operational data.

“We have a long history of working with Rutter’s to support their business needs, and we’re excited to expand that relationship,” said Drew Mize, executive vice president and general manager of enterprise resource planning solutions at PDI. “Our goal is to enable our customers to maximize their software investment with PDI and quickly adapt to the changing technology landscape. Our cloud hosting services help them embrace new technology and scale faster.”

Alpharetta, Ga.-based PDI specializes in enterprise software for convenience retailers and petroleum wholesalers. More than 1,500 customers in more than 200,000 locations worldwide use its ERP, logistics, fuel pricing and marketing cloud solutions to provide insights. PDI also owns and operates the Fuel Rewards loyalty program.
