Terrible Herbst Begins Migration to PDI Solutions

LAS VEGAS — Terrible Herbst Inc. has selected PDI as its enterprise resource planning (ERP) software provider.

A previous customer of The Pinnacle Corp. since 2003, the convenience store chain was among the 100-plus customers acquired by PDI during its recent acquisition of Pinnacle's ERP assets, and is one of the first of those customers to purchase and begin migrating to PDI's solutions.

"Our decision to make the switch to PDI was really driven by their ability to reduce our software footprint and allow us to manage every part of our operation with a single solution," stated Matt Osa, vice president of operations for Terrible Herbst. "Additionally, the software implementation is something we'll be able to complete much quicker than originally anticipated, which is critical for our business. PDI is an outstanding company from both a software and customer service standpoint, and I'm looking forward to working with them in the coming months and years."

Terrible Herbst has licensed several products in PDI's Enterprise product suite, including its retail store and home office, pricebook, lottery and financial modules. In the future, it will rely on PDI to help streamline its business and improve productivity and efficiencies across the remainder of its convenience and petroleum business lines.

"This is a significant milestone in our acquisition and integration strategy for 2017," said Drew Mize, PDI's vice president of PDI/Pinnacle Operations. "While our number one priority is to continue providing first-class support and service to those customers using Pinnacle's software solutions for as long as they want to use them, today's news is a real testament to the strength of PDI's solutions and the tangible return on investment it delivers for retailers and petroleum marketers for the long run."

Las Vegas-based Terrible Herbst began the migration process earlier in February. The company operates more than 110 c-stores and gas stations, as well as 41 car washes and 20 oil change and smog locations.
