GREENVILLE, S.C. -- PriceAdvantage, a division of Skyline Products, said that The Spinx Co. has been using PriceAdvantage at 65 Spinx convenience stores across the Carolinas. PriceAdvantage, a fuel price management solution, has given Spinx the ability to make better fuel pricing decisions given the real-time intelligence provided for each store, such as competitor survey data, volume histories and retail margins.
Spinx stores also use PriceAdvantage to feed price changes to the Radiant point-of-sale (POS) systems, pump and Skyline electronic price signs with the one-click technology that is unique to PriceAdvantage.
"We couldn't be happier that PriceAdvantage has replaced our previous fuel pricing solution," said Stewart Spinks, founder and CEO of Spinx. "It is a superior tool in that it gives us the ability to pull historical data easily, manage multiple price changes per day and provide a user-friendly interface at the headquarters and store level."
Spinks added, "We have found that our store managers are spending about 45% less time entering data into the system since we began using PriceAdvantage; giving them more time to focus on customers."
Aaron McHugh, head of PriceAdvantage division, said, "It's invigorating to hear from [a respected retailer] like Stewart Spinks that PriceAdvantage is providing The Spinx Co. with a more efficient and effective fuel pricing tool."
