KSS Mapping Software Named Finalist for CSP's Retailer Choice Best New Product Contest 2009

Florham Park, NJ – July 28, 2009 – KSS Inc.’s KSS Mapping software has been voted by convenience store retailers as a finalist for Convenience Store Petroleum (CSP) Magazine’s Retailer Choice Best New Product for 2009.

KSS Mapping is a business intelligence (BI) tool that helps fuel retailers quickly visualize competitive landscapes for each fuel site. The software pinpoints price and other critical performance data for each location and for sites of nearby competitors, thus providing a comprehensive view of the local market.

The software works in tandem with KSS’ PriceNet and RackPrice fuel price management systems, and is designed to present real-time pricing and performance data on a map-based display, incorporating both traditional map views and satellite photographs.

KSS’ PriceNet software won CSP’s Retailer Choice Best New Product Award in 2008.

“This is the second year in a row that one of our products has made the finalist stage of CSP’s annual contest, and it illustrates the impact that our fuel price management solutions are having on the marketplace,” said Bob Stein, KSS chief executive officer and president. “As fuel experts, our mission at KSS is to provide fuel retailers and wholesalers the tools needed to make quick and accurate fuel pricing decisions on an enterprise-wide or site-by-site basis. KSS Mapping helps fuel marketers achieve that objective.”

PriceNet is a comprehensive pricing solution that supports the key tasks and stakeholders involved in retail fuels pricing – from capturing field-based intelligence at the site level, to the generation of price proposals via comprehensive pricing rules or price optimization, to consistent and timely implementation. High levels of automation and an ‘exception-based’ approach ensure a rapid response to competitors and market conditions, thus allowing pricing analysts to leverage the power of pricing analytics.

RackPrice is an end-to-end wholesale pricing solution and includes modules for price generation automation, reporting/analysis, competitive price prediction, price-volume modeling and price optimization. The system helps wholesalers meet volume targets at the maximum possible margin by improving its pricing processes and responding more rapidly and effectively to market moves.
