Payments technology company InComm was named the 2018 Vendor of the Year by 7-Eleven Inc.
Atlanta-based InComm has more than 500,000 points of distribution, 369 global patents and a presence in more than 30 countries.
In 2018, the companies launched auto-replenishment, a process to help stores maintain their inventory by automatically shipping cards based on sales volume.
“InComm continues to recognize the specific financial needs of 7-Eleven customers, developing and improving products to meet those needs,” said Sean Thompson, 7-Eleven senior vice president of merchandising. “Most recently, we developed a process that dramatically improved the replenishment of their products, helping us improve our in-stock position and satisfy more customers. As one of our most responsive and innovative vendors, InComm continues to raise the bar. We are proud to recognize them a second time as a best-in-class vendor.”
The company also implemented the host-to-host (H2H) payment solutions, an update and integration of the stores’ point of sale (POS) system, enabling it to support InComm’s barcode scan activation, as well as PIN-on-receipt products and real-time replenishment for wireless products.
This continuing collaboration has helped 7-Eleven achieve significant cost savings and sales growth in 2018.
“Our ongoing commitment is to be customer-obsessed, challenge the status quo and be an accountable vendor” said Jerry Cutler, InComm senior vice president of sales. “We would like to thank 7-Eleven for their support, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration to bring their customers the best payment experience possible.”
Based in Irving, Texas, 7-Eleven operates, franchises and/or licenses more than 67,000 stores in 17 countries, including 11,800 in North America.
