Speedway SuperAmerica
Eliminating waste by leaving paper behind
The Challenge
Data Across America
Driving along any major US Highway, you’re bound to come across a sign for Speedway SuperAmerican, one of the nation’s largest gas station and convenience store chains. In fact, Speedway has over 1600 stores employing thousands of part time and full time individuals resulting in more than 1700 job applications each month. Though the business is simple, the sheer vastness causes a level of corporate complexity that highly benefits from streamlining data from the individual store to headquarters.

Simply Complicated
After choosing to partner with the Optiform team, Speedway put forth effort into defining their specific needs. This helped Optiform generate a solution custom fit to the client. Speedway sought a way to integrate the employment application and decision process with their existing website, Speedway.com. Employment requires a criminal background check and ensuring the automated process would integrate with the background check web service was tantamount to the project’s success. Speedway wanted to be able to advertise the available positions on recruiting sites and needed the process to be seamless. Furthermore, the local store managers are given ultimate hiring authority and completed applications needed to route to the individual stores. Completed applications must be stored for record keeping purposes and comply with FCRA and diversity reporting.
Optiform had their work cut out, but came up with a viable Cardiff LiquidOffice BPM solution with web. This allows Speedway to route forms into recruitment task work queues while meeting all reporting standards.
Our Solution. Their Results.
An Overall Success
Once the application of the Optiform solution had been implemented, Speedway saw an estimated savings of $478,000 per year. Store level aggravation was eliminated by doing away with the printing of all job application forms. Store manager’s spent less time reviewing and faxing items and were no longer burdened with manual background checks. The typical recruitment cycle was reduced from one week to one day. The actual employee talent increased due to allowing store management to offer the positions directly. Work queues were narrowed and could be categorized by priority. Data storage was made easily accessible to all. The overall financial health and employee atmosphere was greatly improved, resulting in long term satisfaction.
