The PriceAdvantage team would like to welcome Par Pacific Holdings as our newest customer and partner. The company will use PriceAdvantage to determine optimal prices and execute faster price changes among their 80+ stores in Hawaii.
Par Pacific will use the PriceAdvantage cloud offering to automatically send price changes when specific strategy business rules fall within specified market conditions. PriceAdvantage then notifies the fuel team of market anomalies that require review. PriceAdvantage reports and analysis views, along with the integration to PDI and OPIS, allow the fuel team to make the best pricing decisions in this manage-by-exception based model.
“Speed and accuracy are critical when pricing fuel,” shared Jim Yates, President of Par Hawaii. “PriceAdvantage gives us both by removing so many of the manual processes that tend to either delay prices changes or cause pricing errors. Quite simply, it gives our fuel pricing team a new level of confidence and it provides our executive team with robust store performance reports.”
Welcome Par Pacific!

The PriceAdvantage team would like to welcome Risser Oil (Rally Stores) as our newest customer and partner. The company will use PriceAdvantage to consolidate competitor pricing data and rapidly execute pricing strategies
for 54 company-owned and commission sites throughout central Florida.
Rather than rely on store personnel to submit competitor surveys, PriceAdvantage imports OPIS reports
to provide Risser Oil an up-to-date and reliable view of current street prices. Risser can easily reference
competitor prices along with historical store performance to make more informed pricing decisions.
Risser then utilizes the notifications component of PriceAdvantage to quickly send new prices to stores via text or email.
Said Craig Sparks, Risser Oil CIO: “First, PriceAdvantage allows us to easily create store-specific pricing strategies. We then utilize the automatic OPIS data feeds and historical data to make better pricing decisions. The
added bonus is that we can do all this from our mobile phones. Not being tied to our desks is a huge
benefit.”
In addition to overseeing the PriceAdvantage success at Risser Oil, Craig Sparks also serves on the PriceAdvantage Customer Advisory Board.
