PDI, a leading provider of enterprise-class automation software systems to the convenience retail, petroleum marketing and foodservice industries, has announced that RaceTrac Petroleum, Inc. has completed its rollout of PDI/Enterprise.
PDI’s software package includes financial, retail, wholesale petroleum and workforce management product offerings. Atlanta-based RaceTrac, which operates its brand of RaceTrac and RaceWay stores across 12 southern states, selected PDI’s financial and retail software suites to automate its accounting, pricing and inventory management processes.
“After a thorough selection process, RaceTrac partnered with PDI due to its stellar customer reputation and its complete product package,” said Jarred Bussert, director of information systems for RaceTrac. “Our primary goal was to improve transparency and create efficiencies between our Store Support Center (SSC) and retail locations. To date, we’ve seen promising results on both fronts. We are also encouraged by the consistent progress of PDI’s product roadmap that enables us to constantly evolve with our guests.”
RaceTrac began a moderately-paced migration to PDI’s flagship software a few years ago and has seen favorable results since. Over the next year, the company plans to begin incorporating additional PDI products into its operations.
“We are certainly looking forward to maximizing the value of the software and growing with PDI’s product offering,” said Bussert. “Our long-term goal is to manage our organization’s entire ordering process from within PDI’s system.”
With nearly 700 store locations, thousands of employees and hundreds of thousands of customers, PDI’s software will be instrumental in helping the chain manage its large enterprise and provide its loyal patrons with ‘The RaceTrac Way’ experience.
“The completion of this project is a huge milestone for PDI and RaceTrac, and I’m thrilled we reached it together,” said Bo Harvey, vice president of professional services at PDI. “RaceTrac is an industry leader, and it’s exciting to see the efficiencies they’re gaining across the organization as a result of the software’s capabilities and the amazing execution by their top-notch team.”
