Love's Refreshes Technology

Updates POS with help from NCR, Pinnacle

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores is rolling out a point-of-sale (POS) solution from NCR Corp. as part of a technology refresh project that includes all of its more than 180 locations across the United States.

The current phase of Love's POS technology update is scheduled for completion in July, with additional systems planned for replacement next year. In addition, NCR and Love's have a multi-year contract for onsite NCR maintenance services.

Love's selected NCR RealPOS 70 touchscreen POS terminals for [image-nocss] its food service and retail operations throughout each location. The solution includes Palm POS application software from Pinnacle Corp., Arlington, Texas, a Platinum-level member of the NCR RealPartner program.

We began by installing NCR technology in our new locations, starting in 2002. We then made the decision to replace the existing POS terminals in all the rest of our Travel Stop and convenience store locations, said Jim Xenos, Oklahoma City-based Love's vice president and chief information officer.

Designed to be easy to service, the NCR RealPOS 70 simplifies troubleshooting and minimizes downtime, Dayton, Ohio-based NCR said. With a flexible, industry-standard computing architecture and readily integrated upgrade modules, it offers a clear migration path and lowers total cost of ownership.

Automation technology provider Pinnacle, which focuses on the convenience store and petroleum industries, delivers products that automate the broad spectrum of c-store operations and supply chain management of fuel operations.

NCR is a global technology company offering Teradata data warehouses, ATMs, retail systems, self-service solutions and IT services to provide relationship technology that maximizes the value of customer interactions.
