PriceAdvantage is expanding to provide its fuel pricing software to European companies.
PriceAdvantage is now expanding its reach beyond the U.S. to serve clients in Europe. The company will now be providing software enhancements that are designed to cater to the specific needs of European fuel marketers. This expansion also includes the addition of new sales and support staff that will be dedicated to European customers.
The decision to invest in the internationalization of PriceAdvantage software was based primarily upon market demand.
“The increased interest from European fuel marketers has hit a tipping point,” said Chip Stadjuhar, CEO of Skyline Products, parent company of PriceAdvantage. “In this global economy, fuel marketers realize that the best solution to their unique fuel marketing needs might be found outside of their region. In addition, software companies such as PriceAdvantage provide hosted/SaaS solutions which make licensing global solutions easy and affordable.”
Market feedback proved that ease of use and affordability are not the only criteria fuel marketers use when selecting fuel pricing software.
“As it turns out, European fuel marketers are much like those in North America,” shared Allison Wroe, PriceAdvantage director of marketing. “We’ve learned that these retailers want more than just software. They want a partner – one who responds to their needs quickly and who is honest and transparent with their pricing. That is something that makes PriceAdvantage unique – we are not a huge consulting firm. We are singularly focused on providing fuel pricing software that meets our customer’s needs now and provides the flexibility to support their growth.”
To support that promise of rapid customer response and a strategic partnership, PriceAdvantage has added Stuart Dudman as Business Development Manager for Europe. Dudman, who holds vast experience as solutions engineer in both software and fuel pricing industries, is based in London and will assist with the sales and support of all European customers. Dudman, having successfully worked in France and Germany, is fluent in German and is familiar with the unique retail fuel pricing challenges that the European market offers.
PriceAdvantage software allows fuel marketers to easily gather competitor prices, replacement costs, historical data, store specific/market insight as well as leverage economic modeling to determine and push new fuel prices to the street faster and more accurately. The affordable solution is easy to install, easy to use and currently provides pre-built, verified integrations with many of the convenience store industry’s leading software and hardware providers.
