Florham Park, NJ – Sept. 15, 2009 – KSS Inc.’s Consulting Division today launched its “Profit Tune-Up” service. The short-term advisory and analytics engagement is designed to help fuel retailers, wholesalers and oil marketers identify operational improvements for their fuel pricing processes, and construct optimal pricing strategies that will positively impact their fuel volumes and margins.
