Gippsland Petroleum Group Selects Radiant Systems for POS and Fuel Control

Long-time customer refreshes technology to retain leadership in fuel and payments

GEELONG, Australia (August 5, 2009) - Radiant Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: RADS) announced today an agreement with Gippsland Petroleum Group (GPG), a Radiant customer for more than 15 years, to deploy the latest generation of point-of-sale technology across its 20 retail fuel locations in Victoria.

“The Radiant solution enables our headquarters staff to manage sophisticated promotions across all locations and gives our sites the ability to accept multiple payment types,” said Anthony Van Breugel, principle of GPG.  “To thrive in the Australian petrol market, we need tools that allow us to compete with the majors, and Radiant gives us just that.”

The solution, which includes point of sale, fuel control and above-store systems, quickly moved beyond pilot as Radiant made use of its proven deployment methodology and a standard interface to the legacy back office system.

Radiant Configuration Manager enables head-office staff to manage combination specials and promotions, including cross promotion of convenience items and fuel, uniquely tailored to each location.  Radiant POS software running on P1550 point-of-sale terminals integrated with Tiger fuel controllers create the fastest customer experience inside the store and on the forecourt and gives GPG a number of options, such as designating certain fueling positions as pre-pay during specific times of day.  Furthermore, the solution allows for deploying outdoor card readers if competitive forces in Australia require this in the future. 

“We pride ourselves as a local company with 20 years of experience in the Australian petrol market, who can also draw on our experience in Europe and the Americas to ensure our customers here can take advantage of global trends” said Jonathan Tosh, director of product development for Radiant in Australia.  “And that makes us a great partner for companies like Gippsland Petroleum Group.”
