A joint customer with over 100 fuel sites has already begun the implementation plan that will integrate PriceAdvantage with AutoGas POS and AutoGas Fuel Controller. The expected results are that the customer will cut down their pricing process by 3 hours per day, allowing them to change prices 2-3 per day as opposed to currently changing prices once a day.
