With continued M&A activity and the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic,
the entire convenience retail and fuel marketing industry faces more disruption
than ever. PDI is committed to helping these companies innovate by partnering
with them to accelerate their digital transformation. Embracing more
integrated, automated solutions is a proven method for growing sales through
increased consumer engagement, foot traffic, and basket size while reducing
costs through operational efficiency. As a result, these companies will be able
to make more-informed decisions by leveraging data and analytics tools as they
secure their entire IT stack with the latest cybersecurity services.
"Gemini is proud to partner with PDI, who shares the common goal of saving
customers money," said Brent Bergevin, vice president of transportation for
Gemini. "We'll continue to find solutions for our fleet that ultimately help
get customers back on the road quickly and at the best value."

The new and enhanced solution areas include:
-- Payment and loyalty consumer engagement: PDI now provides enhanced
consumer access and engagement with a loyalty and payment solution that
combines the benefits of the company's convenience marketing experience,
resources, and industry partnerships. These enhancements enable both
small and large businesses to gain clarity about their shoppers, create
more targeted promotions, and simplify consumer lifecycle management. The
recent GasBuddy acquisition enables retailers to quickly bring new
consumers into their payment and loyalty programs while utilizing robust
consumer lifecycle management tools, including the integration of
Salesforce Marketing Cloud.
-- Enterprise productivity: The PDI Load Board and SmartSchedule-Tankwagon
connect the ecosystem of petroleum marketers and third-party carriers
with a single place to market and handle transactions for "extraneous"
loads. Carriers can bid on a load, and marketers can add their own
controls to protect their relationships and margins. Moreover, both
transport and tankwagon loads can now be managed in a single solution,
streamlining the scheduling and delivery process. In addition, a new web
only experience eliminates the need for onsite POS integration, improves
productivity through task automation, and enables more intelligent
business decisions based on data rather than historical intuition.
-- Security: With enhancements to PDI Extended Detection and Response (XDR)
Complete, companies now have a cost-effective way to supplement thinly
stretched IT teams with fully managed cybersecurity services. This
offering reduces business risk while restoring confidence that critical
assets are being monitored 24/7/365. In addition, the PDI VirtualNOC
Management Portal helps stores avoid network downtime by leveraging
proactive network monitoring and powerful remote management capabilities.
"We realize the critical challenges our customers face from increased
competition, rapidly fluctuating market dynamics, and operational complexity,"
said Jimmy Frangis, CEO at PDI. "In particular, the lack of integrated tools
across the fuel and convenience retail ecosystem has created unnecessary cost
and inhibited innovation. Our new solutions are specifically designed to
simplify operations—from holistic back-office ERP solutions to state-of-the-art
cybersecurity services. We're devoted to delivering exactly what our customers
are asking for."
