Founded almost 40 years ago and previously known as Professional Datasolutions, 
Inc., the company has grown from 1,200 associates in early 2020 to nearly 2,000 
associates in August 2022. This growth stems from the company expanding its 
global footprint, accelerating product investments, and acquiring new 
solutions—including adding significant enterprise offerings in payments, 
promotion and offer engagement; security; point of sale (available outside the 
United States); sustainability; advanced insights; and more. PDI also owns and 
operates two widely recognized consumer initiatives—the Fuel Rewards(R) program 
and GasBuddy(R)—which connect more than 20 million active users to the broader 
convenience ecosystem.

"In recent years, we've made significant investments in growing our 
organization through innovation, client collaboration, and strategic mergers 
and acquisitions," said Jimmy Frangis, Chief Executive Officer at PDI 
Technologies. "The new PDI Technologies name and brand continue our legacy of 
decades of trusted experience, with an eye toward a broader range of solutions 
designed to support customers as they grow their businesses."

Convenience retailers, petroleum wholesalers and carriers, and CPG and consumer 
brands today face many challenges—from labor shortages to supply chain 
constraints, cybersecurity threats, changing consumer preferences, and more. By 
providing integrated solutions to help them increase productivity, securely 
connect data and operations, and leverage actionable insights, PDI is 
"Connecting Convenience" across the globe.

"In the four decades since its story began, this business has progressively 
transformed itself—like the convenience retail industry it serves—as it 
continues to build new capabilities to serve a rapidly evolving channel," said 
Dan Munford, industry influencer and Managing Director of Insight Research and 
Global Convenience Store Focus. "It sits at the heart of customers' businesses 
as they strive to satisfy new consumer needs efficiently and profitably. What 
PDI Technologies has become is a massive achievement, and I look forward to 
seeing what's next."

Today, PDI supports customers in more than 50 countries and provides solutions 
and services to over 200,000 convenience and petroleum wholesale sites. The 
company remains dedicated to strengthening its current customer relationships, 
as it looks to additional growth in the years to come.

"The story of PDI is an exciting one with a rich history," said Linnea Geiss, 
Chief Operating Officer at PDI Technologies. "Our new brand milestone is about 
launching a conversation with our broader ecosystem and sharing a vision for 
the future that builds on our reputation for deep service to this industry. To 
continue leading as this dynamic market evolves, PDI Technologies will 
transform together with our customers, associates, and shareholders."
