Love's Rolls Out NCR POS Technology

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. -- Love's Travel Stops & Country Stores is rolling out a point-of-sale (POS) solution from NCR Corp. as part of a technology refresh project that includes all of its more than 180 locations across the United States.

The current phase of Love's POS technology update is scheduled for completion in July, with additional systems planned for replacement next year. In addition, Atlanta-based NCR and Love's have a multi-year contract for on-site NCR maintenance services.

Love's selected NCR RealPOS 70 touchscreen POS terminals for its foodservice and retail operations throughout each location.

The solution includes Palm POS application software from Pinnacle Corp., based in Arlington, Texas, a Platinum-level member of the NCR RealPartner program.

"Performance and reliability -- with a design that reduces our support costs and will serve us well into the future -- were the key selection criteria for our next-generation POS solution," said Jim Xenos, Love's vice president and chief information officer. "We began by installing NCR technology in our new locations, starting in 2002. We then made the decision to replace the existing POS terminals in all the rest of our travel stop and convenience store locations."

Designed to be easy to service, the NCR RealPOS 70 simplifies troubleshooting and minimizes downtime. With a flexible, industry-standard computing architecture and readily integrated upgrade modules, it offers a clear migration path and lowers total cost of ownership.

"Whether casual travelers, professional drivers or families on vacation, Love's loyal customers count on them for value and exceptional service," said NCR vice president of U.S. retail sales Bruce Donis. "We engineer our products so retailers like Love's can worry less about their store technology and focus more of their resources on the other strategies that make them successful."

Known for "clean places and friendly faces," Oklahoma City-based Love's offers an array of amenities and services for the motoring public, including clean restrooms, major-branded quick-service restaurants, friendly, courteous service and one-stop shopping.
