Cumberland Farms Installs 100th Store with Retalix StorePoint POS and Forecourt Solution

Cumberland Farms, a leading convenience store chain based in New England and operating about 650 convenience stores in 11 states in the Northeast and Florida, recently installed the chains 100th site with Retalix StorePoint POS and forecourt solution. Retalix was selected as the preferred POS provider by Cumberland Farms after extensive comparison testing and is currently executing on a chain-wide rollout of the Retalix StorePoint and new Forecourt Server (RFS) solution. The installed suite includes advanced applications for touch POS, scanning, money order, fuel and credit, all seamlessly integrated with the legacy back office system. The rollout rate is currently running at 15 sites and 30 terminals per week, allowing Cumberland Farms to schedule for completion in early 2005. RFS is a software-based forecourt controller, which eliminates the need for a third-party controller, thus simplifying the design, reducing hardware costs and improving performance. StorePoints open platform POS offers a variety of features for versatile cashier operation, such as scanning for age verification, processing coupons, money order interfaces and full forecourt integration and control.
