PDI Offers Tobacco Scan Data Package for Free to Single-Site and Independently-Owned C-Stores
PDI, a global provider of ERP, fuel pricing, supply chain logistics and marketing cloud solutions for the convenience retail and petroleum wholesale industries, says that it is offering its tobacco scan data package to single-site and independently operated c-stores for free.
The package is part of PDI’s CStore Essentials solution, and allows retailers to access funding from tobacco manufacturers that includes consumer benefits in exchange for tobacco scan data from their stores.
“During these challenging times, offering this package for free will be incredibly helpful, allowing small and independent operators to boost their bottom line, both from a product cost and consumer discount perspective, by easily gathering their data and supplying it to tobacco companies,” said Jamie Hudson, PDI’s senior vice president and general manager for offers and insights. “Also, leveraging the scan data allows PDI, consumer packaged goods companies and the retailers to make better decisions about purchasing and distribution, merchandising, inventory, store branding and overall promotions.”
As part of this package, tobacco brands will continue to provide the stores with rebates based on sales volume and consumer engagement with tobacco products purchased in participating locations. In addition, the free package allows independent retailers to offer consumer discounts with no impact to margins. Insights gleaned from the tobacco scan data can significantly benefit retailers by uncovering consumer purchasing behavior, identifying buying trends and ultimately impacting sales.
