Digital Transformation

Technology is transforming the fueling industry at a rapid pace. Smart, cloud-enabled, connected solutions create a differentiating opportunity for both retail and commercial fleet fueling owners and operators through increased sales and reduced costs. DFS has created DFS DX to enable fuel businesses to do exactly that – differentiate through optimizing site assets across the forecourt and enhance customer experiences by winning their trust through a frictionless forecourt experience.

Matt Tormollen, VP and General Manager, DFS Solutions said, “The DFS DX platform provides a common set of cloud-enabled services that are leveraged across all DFS DX applications to drive increased time-to-value for our customers and lower cost of ownership. Not only are these applications implemented in true edge computing IoT model to drive value closest to the point of impact, but we’ve built it from the ground-up to enable third-parties, customers and partners to easily integrate their clouds and applications – which is a real game-changer to radically transform the face of the fueling industry. These innovations continue to exceed all expectations as we march toward our goal of being the leading global provider of enhanced technologies in the fuel retail and convenience sectors.”

At the UNITI expo, visitors can see first-hand the seamless integration of DX Wetstock™, DX Retail™ and DX Monitor™ and the impact that this can have on today’s fuel retail environment. Providing forecourts of today with the tools to drive their business into the future, these solutions deliver real-time, precise fuel loss identification and notification, proactive fuel dispenser uptime and security monitoring and management, and point-of-sale (POS) solutions that is centrally deployable and manageable.

Alternative Fuels

DFS is dedicated to offering cleaner and more environmentally friendly ways to

To help contribute to a greener planet, the business has invested in a broad range of products and solutions that support a variety of alternative fuels, including Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Hydrogen (H2), Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and electricity, alongside conventional fuel dispensers that can have a lower impact on the environment – some of which will be on display at the 2022 UNITI expo event.

At the trade show, visitors will have the opportunity to see and interact with the LIQAL LNG dispenser and the DFS Hydrogen dispenser – two dispensers that support alternative fuels that are becoming increasingly popular within Europe. LNG fuel, especially the fully sustainable bio-LNG variant, and hydrogen are both an essential part of the decarbonized energy mix going forward.

Lise-Lotte Nordholm, DVS Vice President Dispenser Engineering and New Product Development stated, “DFS has provided dispensing solutions for the retail fueling industry for 130 years, and we are committed to supporting our customers', regardless of the energy types they work with. This requires us to follow market trends closely to make sure we have the right solutions in place at the right time, which is why we are now extending our portfolio to include LNG and hydrogen.”

ProGauge is one of the leading brands for automatic tank gauge (“ATG”) solutions, and its products encompass a variety of magnetostrictive tank probes (both wired and wireless) consoles and related software to measure and monitor fuel tank levels. With the ability to provide users with continuously accurate liquid level readings for all fuel types and additives, DFS ATG solutions are scalable, flexible and easily connected to a range of other products and solutions from the DFS product offering.
