Strategic Merger EchoSat has merged with ControlScan under the PDI umbrella to offer integrated managed network and PCI security services, presenting a cross-sell opportunity to existing PDI customers and a pathway to expand security offerings for C-store and petroleum wholesale clients.

Security Services With offerings including PCI vulnerability scanning, managed firewall with cell backup, managed Wi-Fi, VPN, penetration testing, and PCI compliance consulting, there is potential to upsell comprehensive security packages to retailers handling payment and loyalty data.

Digital Transformation PDI’s long track record in enterprise management software for convenience retail and petroleum wholesale creates a ready-made avenue to position EchoSat/ControlScan security and network management as essential components of digital modernization for existing customers.
