In the heart of the Scottish Borders is DS Dalgleish, a business established in 1956 as an Esso dealer. DS Dalgleish went on to become the longest continual mainland Nissan dealer, after adding the franchise in 1972. The mid 80's then saw the addition of their second Esso site in Coldstream. David Houston, owner of DS Dalgleish expressed his difficulties in managing both his sites due to his unreliable VPN and outdated equipment, and made a point of noting the inconvenience of needing a separate PC to oversee and manage his processing systems.
Discovering DX Retail® from Dover Fueling Solutions® (DFS) was a turning point for Houston, as both him and his employees were able to easily remotely control his two forecourts using the same processes and systems for both locations. This not only saved him time from traveling between his sites to make the updates manually, but it also helped make his company more productive, competitive and financially feasible. DX Retail® has been essential to DS Dalgleish as it has enabled David and his team to check stock and sales in real time from any device and in any location across the globe.
