"Over the past few years, we saw a growing need for more integration and control over our technology systems. So we searched for a solution that would provide the features and benefits we needed to improve efficiency and grow our company," said Jim Xenos, chief information officer for Love's. "Retalix offered the most comprehensive solution to meet our broad and diverse requirements. Specifically, the ability to enhance our control over commercial fuel functions and the capability to process multiple payment methods on a single system are some of the most important features."

StorePoint includes integrated forecourt automation for both gasoline and commercial fuel, Electronic Payment Software (EPS), Foodservice, Cash and Inventory Management modules.
