PHILADELPHIA — Stuzo, a leading digital product innovation firm focused on connected commerce, announced that it has launched a suite of technology assets and mobile-payment solutions aimed at helping fuel retail and convenience-store operators bring mobile commerce solutions to market faster and with lower up-front investment.

“The vast majority of retailers we speak with have told us they want to address the needs of their mobile customers. However, for many, designing and launching a fully custom mobile commerce solution costs too much and takes too long,” said Gunter Pfau, CEO of Stuzo. “We set out to address this challenge by investing thousands of hours in building a set of technology assets, which are designed to accelerate the delivery of purpose-built mobile commerce solutions. And, I am proud to say that the release of the Stuzo Connected Application Assets allows for Stuzo to reduce delivery time and up-front cost by up to 50% compared to alternative solutions.”

Stuzo’s Connected Application Assets consist of a set of proven, prebuilt, market-tested application components for iOS, Android, connected car and wearables, integrated with a set of predesigned UX flows and UI components utilizing Apple Human Interface Guidelines and Google UX best practices in order to deliver mobile commerce experiences that are preoptimized for performance and ease of use.

“Our assets empower the rapid delivery of connected commerce solutions that increase customer visit frequency and average transaction value per visit at the pump and in the convenience store,” Pfau continued. “Furthermore, Stuzo is the only provider serving fuel and convenience retailers with an agnostic technology approach and a proven capability to integrate with major MPPA / mobile commerce cloud providers, such as FDC’s uCom, P97’s PetroZone, PayPal’s Paydiant, or its own Open Commerce reference architecture and assets. The combination of these assets and capabilities drive significant business value to our convenience and fuel retail clients.”

Earlier this year, Stuzo also launched the C-Store Digital Ranking Platform, a ranking platform delivering a comprehensive set of research on the digital capabilities of fuel retailers and convenience-store operators. Relevant data is updated on a weekly basis and syndicated across leading industry publications.
