'We are planning to develop a much closer relationship with The Logic Group, using a tried and trusted technology and a known supplier to enable us to roll-out 'off-the-shelf' with the greatest degree of standardisation and control.' - Statoil

The Logic Group is a leading provider of loyalty and payment solutions to the petrol retail sector, working with such clients as BP and ConocoPhillips and such partners as Gilbarco and VBI.

The group's TSALT (Terminal Software for the Acquisition of Loyalty Transactions) application enables the management and day-to-day operation of loyalty cards at the point of sale, as well as supporting value-added applications, such as congestion charging and e-top-up. The group's loyalty solutions provide detailed information on consumer spending patterns, leading to improved customer retention and increased customer spend. The group's managed loyalty services are also being used by leading petrol retailers to handle such specialist areas as customer lifetime and lifecycle value analysis, mail response and ROI, customer churn strategy, behaviour analysis, targeting and campaign strategy.

Most recently, the group has enhanced its market leading EMV integration tool, Smart-Switch, to enable Chip & PIN in such unattended environments as pay-at-pump. The Logic Group solution for unattended payment terminals allows plastic card payment to be made securely, and its full Chip & PIN compliance reduces the potential for fraud.
