NACS - PEI 2018: IoT at the Forecourt

PetrolPlaza’s fourth report from 2018 NACS Show - PEI Convention in Las Vegas explores the effects that the Internet of Things is having on forecourt operations. From pricing to fuel handling, every single aspect of the daily operation of a gas station and convenience store changes with new technologies such as IoT, machine learning analytics and artificial intelligence.

A host of software companies showed their innovative solutions at the NACS Show and PEI Convention. We speak to some of them to get a sense of where the industry is heading.

We discuss the acquisition of M33 with David Freese (Titan Cloud Software), IoT at the forecourt with Sergei Gorloff (Petrosoft), regional differences with Robert Reiss (Diebold Nixdorf), pricing with John Keller (Price Advantage), and the ongoing expansion of PDI with Jimmy Frangis.
