KSS Mapping Presents Key Pricing Data Overlaid on Geographic Displays
KSS, the global leading supplier of fuels pricing analytics, execution,
and optimization systems to the oil & gas, convenience store, grocery
and big box retail industries, today announced the release of KSS
Mapping, its latest business intelligence tool.
KSS Mapping is designed to present up-to-the-minute pricing and
performance data on a map-based display, incorporating both traditional
map views and satellite photographs. A valuable addition to KSS business
intelligence tools for those involved in pricing, KSS Mapping will allow
users to quickly visualize competitive landscapes by pin-pointing price
and other critical performance data on the precise physical location of
their own and competitor sites. Users will be able to quickly search for
sites and see the physical proximity of competitors, the main traffic
routes and other key geographic features, giving them a deeper
understanding of local market dynamics.
Available immediately, KSS Mapping is compatible with the PriceNet
(retail) and RackPrice (wholesale/commercial) fuels pricing systems.
“KSS Mapping is the result of consultation
with a number of our customers who told us that utilizing maps to
present and analyze key pricing and performance data is a highly
desirable feature, for pricing analysts and senior management alike. We
believe this tool will greatly enhance understanding of market dynamics
and thus enhance pricing effectiveness,” said
Bob Stein, KSS chief executive officer and president.
