Two of the most impressive technologies on display at last November’s NACS Show promise to enhance the convenience value proposition for customers and storeowners alike.

The first of these comes to the marketplace courtesy of a strategic partnership between Gilbarco Veeder-Root and Google. It will allow customers fueling their vehicles at stations using Gilbarco’s Encore pumps with Applause media systems to view maps and get directions right on the pump screens along with searching Google’s local business listings to find the closest restaurants or other establishments. The system also allows users to print out the information they need, such as money-saving coupons.
