AUSTIN, Texas and PADERBORN, Germany -- Wayne Fueling Systems and Wincor Nixdorf announced they will establish a global strategic alliance to provide forecourt control, point-of-sale (POS), back office and payment solutions to fuel retailers throughout the world.

Under the new collaboration, Wayne will provide its latest retail fuel station technology, including its Wayne Helix fuel dispenser and Wayne Fusion forecourt system. Wincor Nixdorf will offer its NAMOS POS and back-office software solutions, as well as its BEETLE family of retail terminals.

“Wayne and Wincor Nixdorf have both invested in developing and architecting products and technology on standard global platforms,” said Neil Thomas, CEO of Wayne Fueling Systems. “Because of this shared mindset, it was apparent that an alliance between the two companies would offer fuel retailers the best forecourt control and POS solution available in the industry.”

The combined solutions will offer complete hardware, software and ongoing service capabilities to retailers.

“Retail fuel station operators will benefit from faster end-to-end implementation of new functions, more innovative enhancements to existing solutions, and highly efficient project rollouts,” says Horst von Wels, vice president and head of Service Station International for Wincor Nixdorf. “Equally important, they also benefit from a long-term, secure investment in global platforms based on flexible technology that is designed to provide one base for a multitude of different business processes and retail store networks.”
