Founded almost 40 years ago and previously known as Professional Datasolutions,

Inc., the company has grown from 1,200 associates in early 2020 to nearly 2,000

associates in August 2022. This growth stems from the company expanding its

global footprint, accelerating product investments, and acquiring new

solutions—including adding significant enterprise offerings in payments,

promotion and offer engagement; security; point of sale (available outside the

United States); sustainability; advanced insights; and more. PDI also owns and

operates two widely recognized consumer initiatives—the Fuel Rewards(R) program

and GasBuddy(R)—which connect more than 20 million active users to the broader

convenience ecosystem.

"In recent years, we've made significant investments in growing our

organization through innovation, client collaboration, and strategic mergers

and acquisitions," said Jimmy Frangis, Chief Executive Officer at PDI

Technologies. "The new PDI Technologies name and brand continue our legacy of

decades of trusted experience, with an eye toward a broader range of solutions

designed to support customers as they grow their businesses."

Convenience retailers, petroleum wholesalers and carriers, and CPG and consumer

brands today face many challenges—from labor shortages to supply chain

constraints, cybersecurity threats, changing consumer preferences, and more. By

providing integrated solutions to help them increase productivity, securely

connect data and operations, and leverage actionable insights, PDI is

"Connecting Convenience" across the globe.

"In the four decades since its story began, this business has progressively

transformed itself—like the convenience retail industry it serves—as it

continues to build new capabilities to serve a rapidly evolving channel," said

Dan Munford, industry influencer and Managing Director of Insight Research and

Global Convenience Store Focus. "It sits at the heart of customers' businesses

as they strive to satisfy new consumer needs efficiently and profitably. What

PDI Technologies has become is a massive achievement, and I look forward to

seeing what's next."

Today, PDI supports customers in more than 50 countries and provides solutions

and services to over 200,000 convenience and petroleum wholesale sites. The

company remains dedicated to strengthening its current customer relationships,

as it looks to additional growth in the years to come.

"The story of PDI is an exciting one with a rich history," said Linnea Geiss,

Chief Operating Officer at PDI Technologies. "Our new brand milestone is about

launching a conversation with our broader ecosystem and sharing a vision for

the future that builds on our reputation for deep service to this industry. To

continue leading as this dynamic market evolves, PDI Technologies will

transform together with our customers, associates, and shareholders."
