PDI Technologies announced its acquisition of the Comdata Merchant Solutions business from Comdata’s parent company, Corpay Inc. This includes “the Point of Sale (POS) hardware, software and systems that enable transactions at the site level for truck stops and unattended commercial fueling locations,” according to a press release.

PDI currently offers a market-tested POS retail solution internationally, including convenience customer sites in North America. Designed for “its versatility in both retail fuel and convenience, the all-in-one software platform provides cloud-centric POS, self-checkout and foodservice capabilities.” PDI said that the addition of the Comdata Merchant Solutions assets and technologies to the existing PDI retail offering expands and strengthens the PDI POS portfolio.

“For years, the Comdata Merchant Solutions team has dedicated themselves to serving the POS needs of the attended and unattended over-the-road trucking industry,” said Sid Gaitonde, president, enterprise productivity, PDI Technologies. “We welcome their team and look forward to delivering even greater value to customers and the entire industry ecosystem as we invest in and grow the business here at PDI.”

“PDI’s integration with Comdata Merchant Solutions will allow us to deliver a more comprehensive and efficient POS solution, ultimately benefiting both convenience retailers and their customers,” said Brad McGuinness, senior vice president and general manager, POS solutions, PDI Technologies.

Comdata will retain operations of its truck stop payment acceptance network, including the fuel cards issued to trucking companies and the technology that accepts transactions at truck stop retailers, which were not included in the acquisition, according to the press release. As part of the deal, PDI will become an approved provider of Comdata transactions across the PDI POS solutions.
