- Dover Fueling Solutions® Launches RDM by DFS to Provide Retailers with a “Connected Dispenser”
AUSTIN, TEXAS – 13 May 2024 – Dover Fueling Solutions® (DFS), a part of Dover Corporation and a leading global provider of advanced customer-focused technologies, services and solutions in the fuel and convenience retail industry, is delighted to announce the launch of RDM by DFS in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region – a remote diagnostics and management solution, which will enable retailers to invest in a truly connected dispenser. RDM by DFS is an optional module, currently available on Wayne Helix® fuel dispensers, which, once activated, will allow retailers to gather enhanced original equipment manufacturer (OEM) data, regardless of pump protocol, and enable remote monitoring and management via DX Monitor®. “In the event there is a dispenser equipment issue, most are generally reported by the motorist. This delays the time taken to resolve issues, meaning unhappy customers and out of service dispensers – negatively impacting the overall consumer experience, reducing fuel sales, and damaging customer loyalty and brand reputation. This is where the connected dispenser comes in,” said Soren Powell-Holse, Director of Product Marketing at DFS. “RDM by DFS puts retailers in full control of their forecourt equipment and allows them to provide an optimal customer experience through our pioneering remote monitoring and management technology.” By enabling remote diagnostics and troubleshooting, including reboot, RDM by DFS allows fuel retailers to resolve issues quickly and efficiently without dispatching an engineer to the site.

- Dover Fueling Solutions® Introduces DX Power™ to Integrate EV Chargers with the Prizma Ecosystem

DX Power™ is a solution that integrates electric vehicle (EV) chargers with Prizma, DFS’ connected mobility and convenience hub, to provide retailers with improved visibility and control, and customers with flexible payment options. In today’s fuel retail environment, most EV chargers run separately to the main point-of-sale (POS) and outdoor payment systems resulting in customers requiring a roaming contract or registration to pay via charge cards. As a modular and open cloud-based platform, DX Power™ can interface with any EV charger and Charge Point Operator to provide a frictionless customer journey. This solution seamlessly bridges the gap between EV chargers and the remaining forecourt system, helping streamline retail sites as they transition to supporting a new way of powering vehicles. “DX Power™ is a solution that can set a fuel retail business apart from the competition,” said Raf Tormans, Senior Manager, Product Management, DFS. “It efficiently connects EV chargers, fuel dispensers, payment systems and your c-store, offering retailers increased visibility into their sales and providing customers with an effortless experience.” DX Power™ leverages the Prizma ecosystem and existing loyalty programs on fuel retail sites to ensure EV chargers are included in transactions through the POS. This gives customers the additional ability to pay with cash, as well as traditional bank (credit or debit), local account and fleet cards. Facilitating the re-use of existing forecourt equipment, DX Power™ in conjunction with Prizma optimizes investments and provides site operators with clear visibility and control over payment options, and the status of EV chargers on their forecourt. “The energy mix in the fuel and convenience retail industry is changing,” said David Mc Guinness, Director Product Management, Electric Vehicle Charging, DFS. “DX Power™ will help future-proof businesses by allowing them to easily navigate the energy shift and ensure they’re well prepared to serve a combination of customer needs. This solution further strengthens DFS’s product portfolio around EV charging.” DX Power™ is compliant with applicable industry standards (OCPP and OCPI), European Union regulations and proposed Alternative Fuel and Infrastructure Regulations and is interoperable with applicable Charge Point Operator platforms using open charge point interface and open charge point protocol for remote management and monitoring.
