Scheidt & Bachmann and SOLUM Announce Strategic Partnership to Advance Digital Solutions for Petrol Forecourts and Convenience Retail

Scheidt & Bachmann’s SIQMA Nova.HOS platform provides centralized operational control across forecourt networks, supporting pricing, promotion management, product monitoring, and supply chain processes. Built on an open API architecture, the system enables integration with ERP and third-party platforms. SIQMA Nova.HOS integrates with SOLUM’s Newton ESL and AIMS SaaS platform to provide a unified operational environment in which in-store price information can be centrally managed and synchronized in real time. This integration enables forecourt operators to streamline price update processes, improve operational accuracy, and maintain greater consistency across their sites.

Looking ahead, Scheidt & Bachmann plans to further expand the cloud-based SIQMA Nova platform to enable additional use cases beyond direct ESL integration via API connections with SOLUM’s AIMS SaaS. This cloud-native architecture supports centralized control, faster updates, and scalable management across distributed retail networks, strengthening digital connectivity between forecourt and in-store operations.

The partnership supports the long-term growth strategies of both companies. Scheidt & Bachmann extends its digital ecosystem into in-store price communication, while SOLUM strengthens its presence in the forecourt and convenience sector through integration with an established operational platform.

Jörg M. Heilingbrunner, CEO of Scheidt & Bachmann Energy Retail Solutions GmbH, said,
“Scheidt & Bachmann has continuously evolved digital solutions for forecourt operations. Our strategic collaboration with SOLUM represents the next step in this journey, enabling retailers to transition toward more agile and data-driven operating environments through a connected, cloud-based ecosystem. For operators, this means greater process efficiency, reduced manual effort, and the ability to implement pricing and product updates instantly across all touchpoints.”

Hyojin Lee, Regional Head of Sales at SOLUM Europe, added,
“This partnership highlights SOLUM’s commitment to open integration and strong ecosystem collaboration. By aligning our solutions with Scheidt & Bachmann’s forecourt systems, we are enabling retailers to build a unified digital infrastructure that supports operational excellence and long-term innovation.”

The integrated solutions are being showcased at the SOLUM booth (Hall 6 / C58) during EuroShop 2026.
