The Sunray cloud hosting platform houses your software in a secure environment allowing you access anytime from any Internet-enabled device. Using a remote desktop connect (RDP), you simply connect to the Sunray log in page with a high-speed connection.

SSCS customers find the Sunray Cloud Hosting platform of much benefit as it allows them to spend more time managing their store. They don’t have to worry about installing and maintaining their software, security protocols, communications networks, and other maintenance related to SSCS technology. Once a user gets online, they can work with their programs, make updates to their data, monitor the status of their sites, view data polled from their POS system, and much, much more. Your user experience parallels that of having the programs on your local computer, including access to your information 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

SSCS was one of the first to offer cloud computing to petroleum retailers, having provided this service to its client base since March, 2000. Our seasoned technical staff understands the ins and outs of SSCS technology better than any third party could so you don’t have to spend your valuable resources on in-house staff or selecting, purchasing, installing, and maintaining equipment.
