Shell selects Radiant Systems for Asia Pacific region

March 28, 2005

SINGAPORE - Shell Eastern Petroleum Ltd., a member of the Royal Dutch/Shell Group of Companies, has entered into a five-year master arrangement with Radiant Systems, Inc. for the supply of point-of-sale software, back-office software and related services across the Asia Pacific region, according to a news release. The deployment of a standard POS system across the region is viewed by Shell not only as a tool for increasing the speed of customer service, but also as a tool for the implementation of standardized operational processes across Asia Pacific. The first market where Shell and Radiant Systems are cooperating under this five-year agreement is Malaysia, where new POS and related systems are being deployed to comply with the country's Europay/Mastercard/Visa standards for the acceptance of credit cards at retail sites. "Major oil companies are seeking technology suppliers who can serve their needs across regions or around the world," said Mark Schoen, president of the Radiant Global Petroleum and Convenience Retail Division. "Radiant can deliver proven touchscreen POS systems along with comprehensive services to any market that is strategic for our customers."
