The NCR software solution offers Pilot Flying J additional back-office functionality and tools for customer marketing as well as enabling potential new features like online shopping.

“Pilot Flying J, with its multiple retail customer touchpoints in fueling, dining and general retail, is the perfect environment for a complete NCR software and hardware retail solution,” said Dale Grant, vice president of global sales, NCR Retail. “Our focus in working with Pilot Flying J is to make the everyday easier for their employees and valued professional driver customers who are at the heart of their business.
