NCR in the News
NCR Launches Transformational New Store Architecture Solution for RetailersPilot Flying J is currently deploying platform across its network of more than 750 travel centers
Atlanta – WEBWIRE – Monday, January 14, 2019
NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) announced that Pilot Flying J, the largest operator of travel centers in North America, is deploying its transformational store architecture solution, NCR Software Defined Store (NCR SDS) enabled by Zynstra. This unique virtu-alization solution is a part of NCR’s blueprint for the next generation retail store architecture. The architec-ture is purpose built for retailers and creates an agile infrastructure across the entire store reducing costs and optimizing operations for faster innovation.
“One of the biggest challenges retailers face today is dealing with legacy IT infrastructures that simply can’t keep up with the pace of the business,” said David Wilkinson, senior vice president and general manager Retail at NCR. “With NCR Software Defined Store, we help our retailers move to the cloud and add new applications and services quickly, so that they can in-crease the speed-to-market while lowering their overall total costs of ownership.”
By virtualizing back and front office store technolo-gy with intelligent automation, retailers significantly reduce the number of servers and hardware to maintain. This simplifies maintenance and enables systems to operate on multiple devices.
“Store IT infrastructures today are complex and ex-pensive to maintain,” said Mike Rodgers, chief strategy and information officer at Pilot Flying J. “By shifting our store infrastructure from a hardware centric to a software focused approach, we will be able to increase our speed-of-service, quickly deploy upgrades across our network of stores and add new features and innovations including cloud-enabled services across our chain.”
NCR has been working with Zynstra, a leading soft-ware provider focused at the retail edge, to bring proven virtualization technology with centralized management to the retail industry.
Retailers now have the ability to optimize their store technology costs while accelerating the digital transfor-mation path for their stores.
NCR will showcase this as well as its other digital first solutions at NRF 2019 at the Jacob K. Javits Conven-tion Center in New York City, at booth #3419 from January 13-15.
About Pilot Flying J Pilot Flying J, the largest operator of travel centers in North America, is committed to connecting people and places with comfort, care and a smile at every stop. Headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee, Pilot Flying J has more than 750 retail locations in 44 states, Road-side assistance available at over 135 locations nation-wide and growing as part of its Truck Care program, 44 Goodyear Commercial Tire and Service Centers, and 34 Boss Shops.
