When wage pressure rises and staffing longer hours stops making sense, many retailers face the same question: How do you grow fuel sales without growing overheads? For one Shell Dealer Site, the answer was an outdoor payment solution. The result? More availability, more customer convenience, and more opportunity to capture sales that would otherwise go elsewhere. As Ross Hallett puts it: “I could trade 24/7 without extending store operating hours.” To learn more, read the case study: https://bit.ly/4iLM77I #GVRANZ #OutdoorPaymentSolutions #OutdoorPaymentTerminal #OPT

What’s better than a productive day at the 2026 NACS Show? Keeping the conversations going. Join us Wednesday, October 7, from 4:00–5:00 PM for an in-booth happy hour sponsored by Patriot Capital Corporation - Equipment Financing Specialists. Stop by Booth #C6623, connect with fellow industry professionals, and spend time with our team exploring the future of convenience retail. We’ll see you there.

What helps keep an EV charging network profitable long after installation? For fuel and convenience retailers, reliable uptime plays a big part. Every available charger has the opportunity to serve drivers and generate revenue. That’s what makes effective support critical. Continuous monitoring helps identify issues early, technical support helps drivers when needed, and diagnostics, maintenance, and field service help reduce downtime and keep chargers available. As Gilbarco Veeder-Root's EV charging solution, Konect combines charging infrastructure, network management, and support services to help operators maximize charger availability and network performance. That means fewer vendors to manage, faster issue resolution, and clearer accountability across the network, making Konect the logical choice for operators bringing EV charging into forecourt and C-store environments. As networks grow, profitability depends on uptime, and uptime depends on the right technology, processes, and support working together.

Every retailer is dealing with pressure from a different direction. For some, it's keeping costs under control. For others, it's operational complexity, improving customer engagement, or maintaining the technology already in the field.  As we prepare for the 2026 NACS Show, we want to understand what is highest on your agenda. Vote below and tell us what you're working to solve. 

What does it actually take to become a successful Charge Point Operator? For many fuel retailers, the challenge isn't deciding whether to invest in EV charging but navigating everything that comes with it. From selecting the right sites and equipment to managing energy usage, supporting drivers, and maintaining uptime, there are countless decisions that influence long-term success. That's why Gilbarco Veeder-Root built Konect, as a complete EV charging ecosystem designed, to help fuel retailers navigate every stage of EV adoption.

What a fantastic few days at the ACAPMA APFI Conference in Melbourne, Australia this month. The event was a great opportunity for the fuel retail, distribution and contracting industry to come together, share ideas, reconnect with familiar faces and discuss the future of our sector across ANZ and the Asia Pacific. A big thank you to everyone who stopped by the Gilbarco Veeder-Root stand to meet the team and learn more about our latest solutions. One of the highlights for us was our GVR-branded water bottle engraving activation, it proved incredibly popular and created plenty of buzz at the stand. It was great to see so many personalised bottles heading home with attendees. Thank you to ACAPMA for hosting such a valuable industry event, and to everyone who took the time to connect with us. We look forward to continuing the conversations. #ACAPMA #APFI #GVRANZ #FuelRetail #ConvenienceRetail
