This includes personal data that can identify or relates to you, including but not limited the following: (i) Contact information, such as your full name, email address, mailing address, telephone number; (ii) Information related to customer surveys, promotions, and/or offers (e.g., preferences, demographics, interests, etc.); and (iii) Information about the device you use to access the Services (e.g. IP address) We also may periodically obtain information about you from affiliated entities, partners and other independent third-party sources and will add it to our database of information.

- Driving Connectivity | DoverFuelingSolution
June 26, 2024 Driving Connectivity When you think of a service station, you automatically think of a forecourt equipped with fully-functioning dispensers, secure payment terminals, and a well-stocked c-store complete with deals and offers leveraged by loyalty programmes. In theory, you’d be correct; however, technological advancements, changes in consumer behaviour, and new trends within the fuel retail and convenience industry are all reasons why today’s forecourt owners need to look beyond investing in products and solutions that perform on their own, and instead, create a forecourt equipped with products and solutions that work and communicate with each other. Making connections between forecourt equipment – conventional / clean energy dispensers to payment and loyalty systems or tank gauging solutions to your wetstock management system – can add credible value to a fuel retail business and enhance overall success. What is a Connected Forecourt? Simply put, a connected forecourt is a future-ready forecourt. If you were to search for the definition of connectivity, you’d see ‘brought together or into contact’, which also means associate, combine, join, link, relate, unite. So, when we reference the connected forecourt, we mean ensuring all products, solutions, and services are not only available and installed at a service station but also completely connected. A connected forecourt allows retailers to take control of all service station equipment, leverage a better experience for consumers, and enhance the overall future position of a fuel retail business. In fact, a connected forecourt can help bring unrivalled functionality to a service station, whether to seamlessly bridge the gap between clean energy dispensers and EV charging systems to the entire forecourt offering or improve end-to-end site management to ensure instances of fuel loss are identified quickly. Connectivity makes fuel retail businesses stronger. “The role of the service station is really transitioning into a mobility hub. And that brings up the term the connected forecourt,” commented Raf Tormans, DFS Senior Product Management Manager. “A connected forecourt, I think, can be described as a combination of hardware and software solutions that exchange data to improve both the customer journey, and at the same time, increase the operational efficiency of the fuel station.” The goal as a station owner should not only be to increase sales and bring traffic to the forecourt, but to also ensure data relating to those sales is captured accurately and used efficiently to improve the entire station offering, so it’s ready to meet the consumer demands of tomorrow. Is Creating a Connected Forecourt Complicated? Creating a connected forecourt is not complicated or difficult. Even the most basic forecourt equipment has connectivity capabilities. It comes down to what retailers want to do with their service station and equipment and what level of investment they are willing to make. Connectivity, and in turn, digitalization of a forecourt has serious potential to create operational efficiencies, improve retailer knowledge of consumer needs, and ultimately save costs long-term. Connecting a forecourt is not overly complicated; however, it should be done in stages. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗢𝗻𝗲: 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 The success of a connected forecourt ultimately depends on the real-time data exchange between various pieces of equipment, systems, and technologies on site. This starts with investigating customer needs and expectations and aligning these with commercial objectives, e.g. do they want digital payments, are they (also) EV drivers, do they like real-time discounts? Once you have this information, you can determine the level of investment required and select the right equipment and technologies to build a connected forecourt. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗧𝘄𝗼: 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘀 Next, retailers/forecourt owners need to look at the core services/operations of the service station, e.g. wetstock management, tank gauging, payment, dispensing equipment etc. Ensuring all these fundamentals are connected and can communicate with each other is half of the battle, as once they are connected, they provide retailers with a comprehensive overview of their entire forecourt operation. This level of connectivity also enables retailers to stay in control of their service station at all times, whether in-person or remotely. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲: 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 As the world slowly transitions energy use, due to decarbonization and global net zero goals, service stations have the opportunity to diversify and capitalize on a whole new customer base. This allows retailers to ensure their service station remains relevant to consumers who no longer refuel with petrol or diesel; however, service stations must account for how they can connect these new energy types – EV chargers and clean energy dispensers – to existing forecourt infrastructure. A connected forecourt will support the better management of such offerings and enable retailers to have a full overview of what is happening across the entire forecourt, regardless of energy type or preferred payment method, so they can optimize the customer journey from start to finish. How Can a Connected Forecourt Benefit Fuel Retailers and Motorists? The success of a connected forecourt is highly dependent on the exchange of data between the various systems and pieces of equipment that exist on a fuel retail site. It's essential to align consumer expectations with fuel retailers’ commercial objectives, while increasing efficiencies throughout the service station. These efficiencies, in turn, will make it easier for retailers to successfully manage business operations, while making the overall refueling experience better for motorists, e.g. enabling fuel payments and c-store orders to be streamlined straight to the point-of-sale (POS) system, while leveraging media to advertise loyalty and utilizing important customer data for repeat visits. Not only will a connected forecourt automate business operations with little human intervention, it will also positively impact service station throughput and safety. Predictive maintenance to prevent station downtime is one of the key benefits of a connected forecourt, meaning site managers can see what equipment is working and can proactively avoid losing additional refueling opportunities. This helps boost the bottom line of a service station while helping to keep motorists happy, so they won’t fall victim to queuing for an “out of service” dispenser. Safety is also an essential part of the connected forecourt, as camera systems and other devices can be linked to back-office systems to ensure retailers can detect potential problems or dangerous situations. This also applies to safety underground, in terms of wetstock management and tank gauging systems. If properly connected, these systems can communicate with each other to prevent and identify potential leaks to ground, ensuring a site remains compliant while providing a safe experience for motorists when they enter the forecourt. With enhanced connectivity, a forecourt can meet or even exceed customer expectations of convenience and innovation. Digital solutions support forecourts in establishing a smooth customer journey. For example, the ability to accept various payment methods (bank/fleet/credit cards, cash, mobile “tap to pay”) for all energy dispensers, including EV chargers, makes the refueling or charging process stress-free for consumers. This enables drivers to efficiently perform the tasks they need to move on with their journey, such as rapidly refilling or easily paying for fuel, adding to the expected convenience while on the forecourt. An interconnected triad of vital activities can support forecourt owners who want to go one step further to offer adjacent services and new retail experiences to a more demanding clientele. The fuel retail and convenience industry has always been advanced in terms of payment technology and wetstock management, as both areas require a high level of connectivity to various systems on-site as well as remotely off-site; however, consumers and retailers alike will start to see a higher degree of connectivity between more and more pieces of equipment as retailers move towards IoT (internet of things) forecourt integration. This will lead to an enhanced experience for consumers, as forecourt equipment will run better with increased uptime, as fuel retailers can actively monitor dispenser diagnostics while utilizing data to provide tailored offers and loyalty programmes advertised direct at the dispenser through high-quality media screens. Think connected forecourt and think convenience.

- Sustainability at Service Stations: What Can Fuel Retailers do to Contribute to Global Sustainability? | DoverFuelingSolution
Mar 9, 2023 Sustainability at Service Stations: What Can Fuel Retailers do to Contribute to Global Sustainability? Today, we’re living in a society where the focus on environmental protection and the cultivation of a more sustainable future are ever present. The fuel industry, in particular, has come under scrutiny in recent years, with people looking to business leaders to make drastic changes to their day-to-day operations in order for them to provide more accessible, eco-friendly solutions for global transportation. Not only are fuel retailers seeking to support alternative energies such as electricity, hydrogen, Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Liquid Natural Gas (LNG), but they are aiming to pivot their fuel businesses to one that is environmentally sustainable. The challenge facing forecourt retailers and convenience stores (c-stores) today, however, is that sustainability is not always as straightforward as it may seem. For example, 95% of a c-stores greenhouse gas emissions are likely to come from the products they stock¹; however, fuel retailers don’t necessarily have control over all aspects of their supply chain. Similarly, fuel has an impact on the environment, but fuel retailers don’t choose what kind of cars their customers drive, they service the market to meet demand. Fuel retailers are examining areas where they can have an impact, become sustainable, and contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gases. In this article, we investigate some ways in which fuel retail businesses can do this effectively, while improving business and their customers experience while on site. Helping to Support a Sustainable Future Fuel retailers are under no illusion that clean energy vehicles will become the “norm” overnight, with many having the understanding that Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles will still be in operation long after 2030. Some studies suggest many motorists will more than likely buy their last petrol or diesel car in 2029 with the intention of running it for the next 15-20 years. The Christie & Co Business Outlook Report (Retail section)² highlights that it will take until mid-2040s before electric vehicles (EVs) start taking up 50% market saturation, but that doesn’t mean fuel retailers should wait until then before making investments into sustainable options. There are a few ways in which service station owners can support customers now, while still preparing for a future fuel shift. In fact, it should be treated as a two-pronged approach. On one hand fuel retailers should continue to support conventional fueled vehicles while providing options to make them more environmentally friendly; on the other hand, they should start to think about making investments in alternative energy solutions to support growing demand and meet global sustainability targets. When it comes to conventional fueled vehicles, what many don’t realise is the introduction of AdBlue® helps to convert harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx) from diesel vehicle exhausts into water and nitrogen, considerably reducing greenhouse gas emissions; thus, making it more environmentally-friendly than diesel alone. Having this available on site, either via a dispenser or from the c-store, can make a big difference towards sustainability objectives, long-term. On the flip side, if a forecourt starts to incorporate clean energy solutions such as EV chargers, hydrogen dispensers and LNG dispensers, customers gradually become more aware of the fuel options available to them. Alternative fuel vehicles produce fewer emissions than ICE vehicles. EVs do not emit carbon dioxide emissions, CNG reduces harmful emissions, LNG produces 40% less carbon dioxide³ than coal and 30% less than oil, and hydrogen is clean, safe and all around us – making up 70% of matter in the universe. So, are fuel retailers ready for this new wave of consumers? Below Ground is Just as Important as Above Another area where service station owners can influence sustainability on their forecourt is through fuel protection. Now, fuel protection packages are not new to the fuel and convenience retail industry – in fact, it has been a key aspect of the fuel monitoring field since the early 90s; however, fuel management is now much more advanced. Fuel management and monitoring can transform fuel retail businesses while providing a whole new world of environmental protection for the future, significantly reducing the risk of fuel loss to ground. In reality, a great wetstock management solution can prevent instances of fuel leaks to the downstream fuel industry, with experts recognizing the importance of “watertight” wetstock management services to make sure the environment is as protected as possible when it comes to conventional fueling solutions. The detrimental and potentially negative effects of fuel leaks are well-known to not only the fuel industry, but to the public as well. The need for systems that prevent or reduce the probability of fuel leaks to the environment have long been a necessity for fuel retailers of all sizes, yet many sites don’t realise the positive impact wetstock monitoring can have on both fuel retail business and sustainability objectives. The lack of a wetstock management system may be a missed opportunity for many retailers when it comes to ESG strategies. Wetstock management solutions not only help to protect the environment but end-to-end Wetstock management can also enable fuel retailers to have a complete enterprise-view of their fuel inventory. This means that not only are they more in control of their fuel at each and every site they own, but they also only have to reorder deliveries when absolutely necessary – thus reducing their carbon footprint, as they are able to order the right amount of fuel at the right time to sustain business. Everyone Has a Part to Play When it Comes to Sustainability The United Nations (UN)⁴ defines sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Many people think about sustainability by looking at ways in which they can reduce their individual carbon footprint such as by recycling, reducing single-use plastic, investing in alternative ways to generate power (solar panels, wind farms, etc.), and utilizing electric and alternative fuel vehicles rather than relying on ICE vehicles. Although these are impactful ways for individuals to become sustainable, these tend to be small in the grand scheme of things. But what if fuel retailers made a conscious effort to roll out a series of sustainable initiatives across their network of service stations? Not only would this positively impact their carbon footprint, but it would encourage their customers to think, and possibly become more sustainable. According to the Kantar Sustainability Trends report⁵, the majority of people expressed a desire to pursue some form of environmentally sustainable objectives, yet only a small percentage of are systematically changing their This is mainly due to three factors: the options available, knowledge/awareness and cost. By increasing sustainable options on and off the forecourt, fuel retailers can start to take the right steps towards sustainability, making the investment required so their service stations can provide future services and products, and adapt to the changing consumer dynamic – a dynamic that means customers can use their purchasing power to change and drive corporate behaviour linked to sustainability. If fuel retailers diversify the energy options available to consumers, they can check the “options available” box from the reasons why many individuals do not change their behavior. They also tick the box of “knowledge/awareness”. Fuel retailers have an important role to play when it comes to global sustainability. The final box to check is “cost”. Fuel poverty is a real problem all over the world, so providing affordable alternative energy is critical. LNG can help with the cost of living as there is a global market providing a choice of supply – meaning users benefit from price competition, which can lower costs and make refueling more affordable. When it comes to EV, filling up on petrol or diesel is still up to 80% more expensive⁶ than recharging an EV, again making it more affordable for drivers. There is a clear and accelerating demand for climate action in the fuel and convenience retail industry, partnered with transportation, and this represents a significant opportunity for fuel retail businesses. Sustainability should no longer be a question but a signal for action.

- The Benefits of an Effective Wetstock Management System | DoverFuelingSolution
November 21, 2023 The Benefits of an Effective Wetstock Management System When it comes to Wetstock Management, every drop and second counts. For many fuel retailers, the term “wetstock management” means stock control, tank level measurement or leak detection. But true wetstock management is much, much more. It’s the complete end-to-end management of fuel inventory — from the moment a fuel delivery is ordered, pumped into the tanker and dropped into the storage tank, right through to when it is pumped into a vehicle and accounted for in the reconciliation process. Wetstock management solutions not only help to protect the environment but end-to-end wetstock management can also enable fuel retailers to have a complete enterprise-view of their fuel inventory. This means that not only are they more in control of their fuel at each and every site they own, but they also only have to reorder deliveries when absolutely necessary – thus reducing their carbon footprint, as they are able to order the right amount of fuel at the right time to sustain business. Recently Dover Fueling Solutions® (DFS) ran a wetstock monitoring proof of concept (POC) across 10 stations for 6 months. Although tank performance across all stations was within legal tolerance, DFS uncovered many previously unseen issues. This included identification of actual losses of fuel equating to 66K litres per year! Real World Results The DFS wetstock management systems detected 4 tank leaks, amounting to approx. 9,875 litres of fuel lost to ground. An estimated 39,000 litres would have been lost had these leaks remained undetected for 12 months. This accurate and early detection of leaks has led to a reduction of environmental risks and financial savings* by significantly reducing loss of fuel as well as leak clean up costs. If the leaks had remained undetected for 12 months, these 4 leaks could have resulted in over 500K Euros in total costs to the retailers. Fuel management and monitoring can transform fuel retail businesses, while providing a whole new world of environmental protection for the future, significantly reducing the risk of fuel loss to the ground. In reality, a great wetstock management solution can prevent instances of fuel leaks to the downstream fuel industry, with experts recognizing the importance of “watertight” wetstock management services to make sure the environment is as protected as possible when it comes to conventional fueling solutions. Trust DFS to help with your Wetstock Management and your journey to a more sustainable future, today.

July 10, 2024 Convenience Turned Advertising: Ordering at the Pump The way to bring customers into the store is bringing the store to them. In today’s fuel industry, operating a full forecourt and c-store can be an increasingly difficult challenge. The rise of electric vehicles (EV) is ready to disrupt the market and drive gas station owners to quickly adapt. Beyond that, station operators face heavy competition, slim profit margins and uncertain fuel demand that makes it difficult to plan for the future. With so much uncertainty, the value of in-store sales becomes even more important. Considering high inflation is stretching consumers’ budgets, you may expect shoppers to be less willing to purchase high-margin c-store items. However, a study by McKinsey recently found that middle-income consumers plan to spend on discretionary items at a rate comparable to high-income consumers (Adams et al., 2024). Recent data has also highlighted that c-stores are on consumers’ radars for potential spending on dining. Between 2019 and 2023, c-stores’ share of discretionary dining visits grew from 24.2% of market share to 27.1%, according to a white paper from Placer.ai (Placer.ai, 2024). With consumers open to spending and exploring, now is the perfect time to capture the developing market of shoppers interested in c-stores as a chosen dining experience instead of a necessity. But how can c-store owners gain the attention of these customers on the go? To answer this question, we can analyze why c-store visitors choose to visit a c-store over other dining establishments and the psychology of advertising at the pump. Time is Money Traditionally, consumers choose to shop at c-stores to save time. A survey from CSP Daily News discovered that 57% of consumers say quickly getting in and out is the most important factor in creating a convenient experience (CSP Daily News, 2018). Our annual DFS Future of Fueling report also surveyed over 1000 consumers and discovered that 50% would switch stations for a significantly enhanced experience, ideas for which included faster visits and multitasking capabilities (DFS, 2023). C-store owners should therefore aim to reduce average transaction time. But rushing customers off the forecourt may feel counterintuitive for owners who want to draw people into the c-store. After all, the slower the gas pumps, the longer the ads get to play. But what if you could start a transaction before the customer even enters the store, except without the forethought of a mobile order? Recent technological advancements in self-service kiosk and dispenser integration can create a way to speed up customers’ experiences and drive in-store sales during the short time visitors spend at the forecourt. Data from the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) found that the average time it takes a customer to complete a c-store transaction is 3 to 4 minutes. The typical shopper spends 35 seconds walking from the car to the store, 71 seconds selecting items, 42 seconds waiting to pay, 21 seconds paying and 44 seconds leaving (NACS, 2024). Instead, with self-service kiosk capabilities, ordering at the dispenser while pumping gas could potentially reduce transaction time. By using the time the customer would already spend at the pump to select items, c-store visitors could save over a minute, or 30-40%, of the current average transaction. This process also creates a similar experience to in-store or curbside pickup services, which have been a major time and money saver for consumers, small businesses and corporations since the pandemic. Let Advertising Work for You While this option makes sense timewise, there are also many psychological reasons that self-service kiosks at the pump work well as a tool for customers and advertising for owners. Beyond the time-saving benefits, customers enjoy self-service kiosks because it reduces interaction anxiety. People who fear judgment for their order choices or incorrect pronunciation of an item don’t have to worry about a smooth checkout experience. They don’t have to consider the time they are taking from other customers in line behind them and can feel free to browse, make changes or quickly check out to speed up their visit. Self-service kiosks can also reduce decision fatigue. The typical c-store shopper passes by 606 individual product category displays during an in-store trip (Explorer Research, 2024), which can be overwhelming for people just trying to get in and out. Instead, by having a few items initially suggested at the pump, customers can make decisions quicker without weighing every option available. This concept of suggesting items is beneficial for station owners making advertising decisions as well. Studies show that people judge their options based on the first item they see, also known as decision anchoring. By displaying prepared hot foods first, for example, owners can control what food options customers compare their decision to and increase the likelihood they choose the first few items displayed. Kiosk technology has a proven track record of success in this way. Multinational fast food company Yum Brands found that average kiosk sales see 10% higher spend than front counter sales (Maze, 2023), partly due to psychological determinants like decision anchoring, upselling and reduced interaction anxiety. Instant gratification is another factor that promotes purchases at the pump. There is a vast amount of research that proves the psychological effectiveness of impulse buying, and the same principles apply here. Spontaneous urges to spend money are innate and kiosk and dispenser integration is especially effective for triggering that urge. A similar experience would be social commerce, or shopping through social media. Users can find items and immediately buy them without leaving the platform. In the same way, c-store customers can look for items without leaving the pump. The difference is that not only can they order easily, but c-store customers can also get their purchases quickly without having to wait days for delivery like social media users. Finally, the technology of the dispenser and kiosk integration is also impactful in influencing purchase decisions. A study from the Journal of Retailing and Consumer Services found that touchscreens increase consumers’ preference for products that bring them happiness or pleasure over products they absolutely need and have considered purchasing (Zhu & Meyer, 2017). Just like social commerce, users are encouraged by the interface to make choices that create positive feelings and make them quickly. Owners should be careful not to become the very problem they are trying to solve though. If too many upsell or special offers appear, kiosks could potentially slow consumers down during their purchase and cost them the time they had hoped to save. However, kiosk solutions that merely suggest and put key products at the forefront can provide a good middle ground to benefit owners and consumers alike. Takeaways In conclusion, the option to self-order from the pump, easily pick up purchases in-store and shorten trips while still selling in-store products benefits consumers as well as store operators and owners. Customers achieve the quick turnaround they look for in a c-store visit while fulfilling all their fuel and food needs. In the same vein, owners can expedite food preparation, facilitate a positive customer experience and draw visitors to the store — including ones that may not have purchased anything before — through strategic advertising. Going forward, self-service kiosks at the pump are just one of many considerations c-store owners may have to make as technology and consumer behavior change, but looking at the potential for in-store sales indicates it may be an essential one.

- Your Network Choices are Critical. Here’s why | DoverFuelingSolution
July 26, 2022 Your Network Choices are Critical. Here’s why New to networking and need a crash course? Wondering whether you’ve done all you can to protect and future-proof your business from hackers and criminals? We conducted an in-depth interview with Annika Birkler, Senior Product Manager for Connectivity at DFS, and Courtney Hamby, Sales & Support Manager at AvaLAN (a DFS company), to understand how your networking decisions can impact everything from user experience to station security. Read on to see what our experts have to say. Why Network Security Matters in Fuel and Convenience Retail Question: We talk about network security and MNSP, but a lot of people are wearing many hats running a business and don’t have time to become experts in this. Can you describe in the simplest of terms how these work and why they’re important? Just as you maintain a private internet network in your home to transmit files between devices, make online payments, and store personal information, your business needs the ability to communicate between dispenser and store systems. This is where secure networks come into play. That technology began as serial wired systems with cables running underground between fuel dispensers and stores. Over time, it’s advanced to wireless options that are faster, more secure, and easier to maintain. Our latest technology in DFS Wireless Connect acts just like an invisible Ethernet cable connecting fueling points to stores in the most secure way so credit card and personal info can’t be stolen while being transmitted on the forecourt. The transition to Ethernet communication systems offers the higher speeds now required to transact with EMV payments. Question: Why is network security so critical for retailers and c-store owners? Consumer and payment data are constantly transmitted from dispenser to store, and the unique outdoor payment model of a fueling station puts it at higher risk than networks locked behind shop doors. It’s important for anyone with a gas station to protect this data in addition to business-sensitive information such as on personnel or store financials. Criminals not only can intercept sensitive personal or payment data but install viruses if they manage to break into the system. Question: Should smaller chains or independent store owners really be investing in this? The U.S. is behind other markets in EMV implementation, but now that it’s catching up, criminals are looking for the next weak point after card skimming improvements. C-store owners not implementing top security measures – particularly smaller independently owned locations – will be the weakest link as bigger retailers upgrade security. So really, networking investments are important for any fuel retailer of any size. What to Consider When Choosing your Network Question: Can’t someone just capture sensitive data by plugging a “Network Skimmer” into an open network port inside the dispenser? How can I secure the Ethernet ports inside my fuel dispensers? Wayne Ovation® fuel dispensers have door security sensors to alarm site managers of tampering. This can happen even faster at sites implementing DX Monitor® to track dispenser functionality in real-time. DFS Wireless Connect in dispensers with Anthem UX® prevents unknown devices from connecting by managing Ethernet ports on wireless devices. They operate in Managed mode, as well as extending the secure payment zone all the way out to the dispenser. If you try to mimic an external unit or subscriber unit, the network doesn’t recognize the unknown device and won’t transmit. Overall, if the wireless unit detects any funny business (invalid logins, reset attempts, improper setting configuration) it will wipe itself of data before that gets into the wrong hands. Question: Is it really just about payment security? It’s not just about what transmits from dispenser to store systems [payment data], but what flows out as well. Fuel dispenser technology is advancing at a quick pace, and c-stores have more options than ever for sharing promotions and in-store information out to customers on the forecourt. With secure wireless networks, larger media packages for store promotions and important dispenser communications can be sent to dispenser screens with improved connectivity. Retailers won’t be able to send those over limited serial wire setups. Operating in managed mode on some DFS dispensers, non-secure data such as media is separated from the secure payment data. This minimizes risk of tampering with payment data when implementing new cloud services on gas stations. It’s an all-around more secure setup, minimizes what's included in the PCI audit, and is a better experience for both customer and site owner. Question: We often hear “connectivity is key”. Explain this. If your network is disconnected, you face downtime. It’s a severe drawback because the whole station can go down and quickly cost you valuable business. If a wired system goes bad, you have bigger problems that will inevitably require higher cost and take longer to repair. If your wireless unit goes bad, you simply swap an individual component. Accessibility is a key win when it comes to investing in a wireless Ethernet network. You no longer need to worry about digging down to buried wires, allowing for much quicker installation, maintenance and upgrades. The technology of DFS Wireless Connect is essentially “plug and play”. Authorized technicians can install one in minutes to keep your forecourt up and running. With secure connectivity, you also have the value of future-proofing and accommodating add-ons without extensive downtime. DFS Wireless Connect is designed for scalability. It can be used for any Ethernet data transmission on your forecourt, and as your forecourt grows or upgrades, there are no concerns regarding system bandwidth. Wireless units can easily be added without any downtime. Connectivity Impacts Experience Question: The need for speed is real, but why should we care about speed in terms of customer experience? When you have a legacy system such as FlexPay Connect (BCRM) or Wayne Connect, you have to wait for each dispenser to finish “talking” before another one can begin transmitting. Users can experience this delay as lag. When there are plenty of nearby options for fueling, it could be enough of a deterrent to keep them from coming back. With Ethernet connections, dispensers can simultaneously connect and transmit. Secure Wireless Ethernet increases transaction speeds for a better customer experience. Question: Finally, what makes AvaLAN noteworthy when it comes to selecting a networking solution and managed network service provider (MNSP)? AvaLAN has been designing communications solutions specifically for the fueling industry for 17 years. Our products are made to have best-in-class security and are easy to install and maintain. We’re expanding on our connectivity offerings, and will soon introduce AvaLAN MNSP, a Managed Network Service Solution that will seamlessly integrate with other AvaLAN and DFS products yet remain agnostic for various site configurations. AvaLAN is a leading market solutions provider for high speed secure wired and wireless networking. DFS has a combined history of 450 years in the fuel and convenience retail space among our legacy brands, and the addition of AvaLAN in 2021 further strengthens DFS’ position as a leading global provider of end-to-end customer-focused technologies, services and solutions specifically in this industry.
