UGlove offered one of the brand-new solutions at the show. It is basically a glove dispenser for the motorist to prevent contamination from dirt, smells and germs during the fueling process. It represents a brand differentiation opportunity for the fuel retailer as well as advertising opportunities. Company representatives noted that the concept is appealing across the range of customer demographics.
VeriFone was running demonstrations of its recent integration with the P97 mobile commerce application. Through automatic geolocation and customer pump identification, a fueling transaction can be processed rapidly and efficiently from a mobile device while at the same time fully integrating the transaction into the retailer’s loyalty program.
Wayne Fueling Systems was touting its universal iX Pay secure payment terminal retrofit solution that can be applied to legacy dispensers from a range of OEMs in the industry. The terminal features a 7” widescreen VGA display, a touchscreen user interface, media capabilities and a secure keypad all working to enhance the customer experience while offering a wide range of marketing opportunities. It’s also ready for next- generation payment technologies including contactless cards, mobile payments, ApplePay and more.
