“Our ‘Rewards in a Flash’ loyalty program using Pinnacle’s Loyalink has been the total solution. By expanding on this solution with our rewards card, we were able to implement the pump start program that enables our customers to actually start the pump before they pay. Because their reward card is tied to their driver’s license, this program has reduced our drive-offs significantly…by 50% actually. From 2006 to 2008, we saved over $700,000 by utilizing pump start and also by utilizing Pinnacle’s Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) to drill down into the data as far as drive-offs go.” – Jenny Bullard, CIO, Flash Foods
