Register for PetrolPlaza Talks #6: Smart Forecourts & C-Stores

Episode six of PetrolPlaza Talks will gather migrolino AG, TLM Technology and Professor Sabine Benoit to discuss the latest technological innovations at petrol stations and convenience stores. Join us on Monday, March 1.

The next session of PetrolPlaza Talks will dive into how retailers and suppliers are making petrol stations and convenience stores smarter, increasing efficiency and improving customer experience. The transition from traditional fuel businesses to multi-energy stations with modern convenience stores is supported by new technologies. In the discussion we will look at how cloud solutions, AI and IoT have transformed retail sites and customer relations. We will talk smart pricing, self-service, increasing efficiency, enhancing loyalty, managing stock and automation. 

Technology is changing the way retailers and consumers interact with each other. With AI, machine learning, facial recognition and data analytics, suppliers and retailers can offer a completely different experience to their clients – one that is more personalized, convenient and effective. The consumer experience is now synonymous with seamless technology.

Join Oscar Smith Diamante, Editor-in-Chief PetrolPlaza, and three industry experts for the next episode of PetrolPlaza Talks. Find out more about how sites and stores are becoming smarter and more connected.
