DULUTH, Ga. – NCR Corporation announced that the Spinx
Company is deploying 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 that 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," said Steve Spinks,
president and CEO 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."
