The Circle K brand is one of the most highly regarded convenience store brands in the world, known for its quality products and customer service.
 

CHALLENGE

Circle K Midwest was in desperate need of a new site profile solution. The accuracy of store data provided by a previous vendor was questionable. Updates were being made in several locations, which led to confusion. CKMW needed one centralized source with the ability to add photos, assets and signage specs, as well as help verifying quantities for in-store assets.

SOLUTION

We brought in AccuStore®, our award-winning site profile management platform. It gave CKMW a streamlined, centralized solution for ongoing, automatic database updates and reporting. The audit feature made it easier to verify store specific needs. The built-in online survey tool helped them quickly collect data to ensure the correct quantities for marketing materials and fixtures made it to the right stores every time for a considerable savings of time, manpower and POP costs.

Our Brand Story

GSP started as a printing company in1978. We found our niche supplying in-store signage for convenience stores when retailers guessed quantities they needed. This led to overage, waste and expense. To solve this, we developed software to guarantee on-time delivery of “the right size sign, to the right store, every time.”

In 2014, we started AccuStore with a dedicated team. As software helped drive our growth, we realized that new printing and fulfillment sites near customers could drive business and improve sustainability. We acquired companies that fit GSP’s technical excellence and superior customer service models.

First was Great Big Pictures in Madison, WI in 2015. They lead the field in large format printing and visual merchandising for iconic fashion retailers. Their standards for customer service include award-winning sustainability programs, and expertise to bolster retail environments services.

In 2020, GSP acquired Custom Color in Lenexa, KS. The company supplies printed graphics to leading retailers. Custom Color’s stellar quality in fabric printing also aligns with GSP’s values.
