DULUTH, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 6, 2013--
NCR
Corporation (NYSE: NCR), the global leader in consumer transaction
technologies, announced today that the Spinx
Company will deploy NCR ConvenienceGo (C-Go) mobile shopping
technology to make fueling and shopping at the chain of convenience
stores easier. Spinx, which operates stores in North Carolina and South
Carolina, will roll out C-Go to 57 of its stores.
C-Go is a mobile shopping app which allows shoppers to initiate a fuel
transaction, select the amount of gas they want and pay with their
smartphones. The mobile technology will be customized to match Spinx’s
brand image, colors and unique guidelines. C-Go also eliminates the need
for shoppers to carry a key-fob loyalty card as the C-Go app updates and
stores each shopper’s loyalty information and passes that information to
the fuel pump automatically. This allows shoppers to easily get any
loyalty discounts or other benefits they are entitled to receive.
“Spinx is always looking for new and technologically advanced ways to
make our customers’ lives easier,” says Steve Spinks, president and
chief executive officer of The Spinx Co. “We're looking forward to
launching the new Spinx Xtras app which will provide our loyal customers
with a more convenient method for redeeming gas discounts and paying for
the purchase, all through the use of their mobile phones.”
“Mobile technology is the next frontier in convenience shopping and is
enabling today’s consumers to get what they want quickly and easily,”
said NCR Vice President and General Manager of Grocery and Convenience
Stores Jimmy Frangis. “Spinx is at the forefront of mobile shopping with
its innovative C-Go deployment. As shoppers embrace the technology,
Spinx will be well positioned to reap the benefits of increased shopper
loyalty and more repeat visits.”
