Please email product news to editor@<strong>erpecnews</strong>.com Mark vII acquires advantek in ontario Mark VII Equipment Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of WashTec AG of Germany, a leading producer of vehicle washing equipment worldwide, has announced that it has acquired the assets of former PDQ distributor Advantek Inc. and opened direct operations in Toronto, Ontario. “We welcome the Advantek team to the Mark VII family”, said Murray Kennedy, CEO of Mark VII. “They’re one of the most successful carwash distributors in Ontario and have a reputation for providing great service to multi-site operators with different brands of PeC Fuel Pumps to develop vapour recovery management system A grant from the Australian government for almost US $ 1 million will allow PEC to refine further technology to stop fuel vapours being lost into the atmosphere when motorists fill their tanks at petrol stations. PEC Fuel Pumps will get US $ 961 000 from the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology to develop the system so it can be used at a range of petrol pumps throughout the world. PEC Managing Director Richard Coxon Indigo I-PoS is a real asset! I-POS is an in-house developed stand-alone till system developed with the small to medium sized c-store operation in mind. It features scanning and promotions management with all sales and maintenance administered through the touch screen. I-POS was recently installed at a UK convenience store company, Chapmans and with minimal training and after the smooth install, the client said he found the I-POS extremely reliable and was impressed with the control he now has from the till. He said ‘I can manage my cash, create new products, and even print shelf edge labels from the till. The latest amscreen signs another fuel chain Britain’s Amscreen is set to nearly double its presence in gas-station convenience stores through a deal with fuel retailer MRH, and believes its network could eventually reach 10 million motorists weekly. Its “close-proximity signage” systems will be rolled out to 300 sites operated by the UK’s largest independent fuel retailer, and form part of the Amscreen Convenience Store Network. A similar contract earlier this year led to installation of Amscreen’s digital signage at 335 BP fuel stations. The new five-year deal sees Amscreen become equipment, which is a cornerstone of Mark VII’s strategy for servicing large accounts.” “We’re excited to team up with Mark VII and WashTec”, said Mike Johnston, President of Advantek. “We have strong relationships with both petroleum retailers and independent operators throughout Ontario, and we look forward to continuing to serve them as part of the global leader in the carwash industry.” Founded in 1966 and headquartered in Arvada, Colorado., Mark VII is a wholly owned subsidiary of WashTec AG of Germany, a producer of vehicle washing equipment. said the money should allow the company to expand beyond its traditional markets of New Zealand and Australia. He went on to say “Fuel vapours are already recovered when fuel is distributed from tankers to service stations, but they are normally lost from motorists’ vehicles at the pumps. It has been estimated that, worldwide, 1.3 trillion litres of fuel vapours escape when people fill their vehicle tanks at petrol stations”. touch-screen technology means my cashiers find the system easy to use and mistakes are minimised. We’re celebrating 100 years of trading this year and I think the I-POS will be a real asset to us as we start the next 100! Baljit Tank, Managing Director of Indigo Retail commented “I’m delighted with the success of the I-POS so far. Our investment in developing a solution for c-store retailers who don’t need all the functionality of a till and back office system, is enabling business people to benefit from the latest developments in hardware and software technology at a price that suits their business.” the exclusive supplier of digital signage to MRH, which runs fuel stations across Britain under the BP, Esso, Jet, Shell, Texaco and Total brands. Reaching more than 2 million drivers weekly, the screens will carry advertising from national and regional advertisers, as well as promotions for MRH’s products and services and information such as traffic news. Amscreen CEO Simon Sugar said: “We believe the Amscreen Convenience Store Network ... potentially could reach in excess of 10 million motorists a week.” LateSt NewS, eveNtS, JobS oNLINe – www.PetroLPLaza.CoM SuPPLIer NewS Pro-Sales car wash strategy boosts profit at petrol stations The company Pro-Sales Direct has successfully developed and applied a sales strategy across Australia and New Zealand that helps increase traffic, activity and revenue at petrol stations. They do this by passively engaging with potential customers, demonstrating and explaining the benefits of their unique product FW1; a waterless cleaning wax. Owner of 6 independent BP sites across New Zealand, Bob Styles put the strategy into practice. Pro-Sales Direct pays him a fee to rent his forecourt space to provide his customers with their ‘retail demonstration’. After the trial, Mr Styles concluded that “It certainly is a benefit”.

The Gen 3 was developed to provide the absolute best LED lighting solution at the most affordable cost. The Crossover Gen 3 delivers a refined level of lighting performance and control, which is made possible by further advancements of LSI’s proprietary SmartTec technology, which is the intelligence platform that is built into every Crossover Gen 3 canopy fixture. Crossover Gen 3 fixtures were designed to retrofit existing Scottsdale and Scottsdale-like fixtures without having to cut the canopy deck as well as for new construction. One of the leading benefits of the Crossover Generation 3 canopy fixture is the use of LSI’s innovative TriLume optics. The multiple optics and drive currents allow the site operator to choose the lighting that is best suited for the site’s environment. When those optics have been chosen, LSI’s simplified installation means that the Gen 3 fixtures can be installed in less than half the normal time. Once they have been installed, sites will experience significantly lower operating and utility costs thanks to LSI’s SmartTec intelligent controls. These controls include sophisticated self-diagnostic intelligence that ensures a cool-running fixture as well as optional daylight sensing to eliminate “day burners” and occupancysensing to ensure the fixtures will dim when no presence is detected. The Crossover Generation 3 system is the result of LSI’s 34-plus years of experience in delivering revolutionary lighting solutions, like the Scottsdale, designed specifically for the petroleum market. 15
