Kalibrate uncovers key industry trends in third annual fuels pricing survey

Opportunity to improve profit remains top reason for investing in fuels pricing software

Florham Park, NJ | January 20, 2015

Kalibrate, provider of strategy and technology solutions to the global fuel retail industry, announced today the results of its third annual global fuels pricing survey comprising feedback from executives at retail petroleum companies representing more than 8,000 sites selling 10 billion gallons annually. The study reveals a continued preference for third party fuels pricing software versus in-house systems, with 62% of respondents relying on a third-party provider.

The opportunity to improve profit continues to be the main reason given by respondents for investing in fuels pricing software. This has been a consistent finding in each of the past three years. Other reasons cited in our 2014 survey include a deeper focus on business analytics, customization that supports unique business requirements and integration with third-party systems to decrease the time to implement price changes at the site.

Price optimization also continues to gain popularity for establishing optimal pump prices by market or by individual sites. The number of respondents citing that they use price optimization ‘always’ or ‘sometimesR17; continues to grow. For the third year in a row, the primary reason for employing price optimization is to increase margin while maintaining or increasing volume/market share, depending on the retailer’s market strategy.

“While retail fuel pricing is a critical component for ensuring profitability, more and more companies are realizing that it is only 1 of 7 elements that can ensure volumes are maintained and profits increased; it’s what we call the 7 Elements for Fuel Retail Success (price, location, market, merchandising, facility, operations and brand),” said Bob Stein, president and chief executive officer of Kalibrate. “Careful attention to all 7 elements is the answer to overall site success and withstanding competitive threats.”

This year’s survey also reveals a growing interest in being able to create strategies for pricing alternative fuels. With macro forces and consumer awareness increasing the viability of alternative fuels, retailers are looking for strategic perspective and solutions to better price alternative energy.

Added a few more here. Looks like it only takes a few buys to move the price back up.

[gucci] 27/1/2015 13:18

[battlebus2] 15/1/2015 08:43

Maybe another opportunity to add with a few selling, being so illiquid you get a swing in either direction with each trade.

[battlebus2] 13/1/2015 22:38

[battlebus2] 13/1/2015 08:34

Adding on any weakness here ....

[battlebus2] 09/1/2015 18:45

Thanks GHF, great to see another contract as they expand their global footprint.

[glasshalfull] 09/1/2015 17:51

Good to see you here yump. We're sharing a number of stocks at the moment.

I was surprised to see that KBLT hadn't enjoyed any upward movement as witnessed in many other small caps during the post-Santa rally. Like your good self, also believed that their product suite would be in demand with the level of oil price volatility we've witnessed doing the last 3 months.

Quite interesting to note that while KBLT have been tipped on numerous occasions in 2014, there was a distinct lack of interest in the company with the last bulletin board update before today taking place in early November, and I'm also surprised at lack of SCSW subscribers piling in here, save for a few small trades this afternoon. So absolutely no froth in the shareprice.

Certainly seems like a quality growth business and part of my strategy over recent months has been to pick up these quality stocks with excellent levels of recurring revenue (companies such as IDEA, BDI, BRY and SOLI) which are moving to a reduced dependence on securing licence deals to meet forecasts e.g. see warnings from SVR today & ESCH yesterday. KLBT announced that recurring revenues had increased from $15.6m to $19.6m recurring revs last year, 70% of total revenues.

Investors will be pleased to note this contract win today



MANCHESTER, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kalibrate, provider of strategy and technology solutions to the global fuel retail industry, is pleased to announce that Metro Oil has purchased the Kalibrate Cloud pricing solution and will implement it at all of its fuel retail locations in the Philippines.

Welcome GHF.

It will be interesting to find out whether they make any comments about the oil price drop. I'd have thought the more volatility the better for KLBT.

I don't think good businesses come cheap, so quite happy to have bought what I think is a sound growth business at a reasonable value and then wait for that value to get better.

[battlebus2] 09/1/2015 15:49

Moving sharply into the close of play, doesn't take many buys to make these bounce. Clearly undervalued imv.

[battlebus2] 09/1/2015 13:50

Good to see you here GHF, big opportunity for growth here with expansion into the rest of the world. Like you say lots of cross selling opportunities.

Seems to be well under the radar of most P.I's.
