Stinker Stores Replaces Telxons with ACE from Ai2

C-Store Distributor Dumps Older Devices, Moves Toward Modern Solution

CHICAGO – January 27, 2010 – Software development firm Ai2 announced today that Stinker Stores of Boise, ID will implement Ai2’s customer order entry solution ACE&trade. Stinker will implement the solution for its convenience store locations, allowing the company to replace Telxon units and give customers a more reliable way of placing orders. 

Stinker chose Ai2 for its innovation, low price and dedication to the convenience store industry. With ACE, Stinker will solve the communication problems that plague older devices.  Their customers will now be able to scan, take orders, maintain stock levels and more. Superior management of information will allow a customer to spend less time placing an order and more time managing a store. 

“It’s great to add Stinker to our client family,” said Douglas Katich, CEO of Ai2.  “A lot of companies like them are saying enough is enough with these older devices that just don’t get the job done anymore.”  ACE features two-way communication between a retailer and a distributor that improves business operations for both. Ai2 provides the computer hardware through a partnership with hardware manufacturer Datalogic. 

Stinker advertises itself as the number one marketing company of ethanol-blended gasoline in Idaho for over 25 years. Stinker intends to be the leader in marketing clean and eco-friendly fuels such as E-85 and bio diesel. For more on Stinker Stores, visit www.stinker.com.

Ai2 (formerly Access International) is a 24-year old software firm headquartered in downtown Chicago.  Their applications are used by over 40,000 users each day to capture over 40 billion dollars in sales each year.  Ai2 improves the order entry process for some of the nation’s largest distributors in foodservice, convenience store, grocery, beverage, hardware, medical, beauty and industrial supply. For more information about Ai2, visit www.ai2.com.
