The Problem: Casey’s General Stores is one of the largest convenience store chains in the U.S. with over 1,400 locations. With their aging store computers running an unsupported Windows operating system, Casey’s needed to upgrade them. Casey’s elected to rollout The Retalix POS system to the stores. Casey’s challenge was to get the rolled out to the stores within a year – with minimal disruption of store operations.
The Solution: Casey’s had a long-standing relationship with ATC and invited us to discuss the situation. ATC implemented a communications management and data management system to support all stores from their headquarters. In addition, ATC developed and implemented a Manager’s workstation application to complement the POS system.
The solution allowed Casey’s to deploy, manage and maintain all systems and applications from their headquarters over VSAT.
The Results: Within six months, we had completed the project, on time and within budget. The ATC solution allowed Casey’s to rollout Retalix, manage the distribution of changes to the software from their headquarters and distribute data to the new POS system without sending CDs – all over VSAT. The centralized logging and reporting allowed Casey’s personnel to administer the systems in the stores from their home office.
The rollout occurred in record time to all 1400 stores, something unheard of in the industry.
