Top 4 New Year’s Resolutions for C-Store Owners in 2022

Gilbarco Veeder-Root Top 4 New Year's Resolutions for C-Store Owners in 2022 We are almost one month into 2022… have you made a plan to achieve your goals?

If not, here’s a refresher on what you should be doing this year:


According to a study, 64% of us will apparently abandon our New Year’s resolutions within a month, so we thought we’d share some new ideas to replace the ones you didn’t quite keep up with. 

Here are some resolutions that fuel and convenience retailers need to add to their list for 2022. 

NEXT-LEVEL CX 

Take your customer experience to the next level this year. The modern customer experience demands a frictionless shopping experience from fill-up to checkout. Here are three ways to up your CX game: 

1. Whether you need help with staffing or long lines, Passport® Express Lane™ is one of the most cost-effective solutions to optimize your operations. Committing to a self-checkout strategy is the first step in creating next-level CX. Express Lane gives everyone, including managers, employees, and customers – more flexibility. 

2. Express Ordering is another smart solution that helps c-stores set themselves apart with fresh food options. By automating the ordering process, Express Ordering puts the consumer in control – driving increased loyalty and upsell opportunities. 

3. Every store’s customer data needs to be secure. Passport POS and Encore® 700 S fuel dispensers come EMV-ready and PCI-certified out of the box to ensure your customers’ private information stays secure.  

DEFinite ADVANTAGE

Demand for diesel exhaust fluid is rising. The percentage of DEF pumps in the overall automotive DEF supply mode increased from 14% in 2011 to 40% in 2019, according to market research firm Reportlinker.

This is due to more stringent environmental regulations and the manufacturing of new DEF-compatible vehicles that are replacing the old ones.

For retailers with Gilbarco’s Encore S fuel dispensers or later, the DEF equipment cabinet(s) can be added left or right oriented or on either side of the fueling position, allowing for even more convenience and create loyalty with your diesel customer base.

COMBAT CORROSION

Now is the perfect time to commit to quality fuel. Part of that commitment means protecting your underground storage tanks.

The Veeder-Root HydrX Fuel Conditioning System combats in-tank corrosion by providing continuous water removal within diesel underground storage tanks. The system’s unique design removes water from the lowest point in the tank, preventing water from stagnating on the tank bottom and breeding microbial contaminants. The integrated filtration removes entrained water, rust, sand, and microbial particulate from the fuel, polishing it before returning clean fuel back to the tank.

Learn how the HydrX Fuel Conditioning System prevents corrosion from eating away at the bottom line for Cumberland Farms.

LEVEL UP YOUR ATG

And finally, resolve to upgrade your automatic tank gauge to the industry’s latest, most reliable ATG equipment with the TLS-450PLUS and Central Device Management (CDM).

The TLS-450PLUS console provides an expanded, advanced feature set at a lower price point than the TLS-350 console without needing to replace your probes or sensors. It also unlocks compatibility with other solutions like HydrX.

CDM is a server-based software package to manage your entire network of sites, ensuring your ATG consoles are always up to date with the latest features and security updates.

THE BOTTOM LINE

For 2022 and beyond, focus on solutions that make your operations more frictionless, efficient, secure, and connected.

Whether it’s on the forecourt, underneath it, or in the cloud, Gilbarco Veeder-Root is the only solutions provider that covers every area of your fuel and convenience business. As your partner for what’s next, let’s see if we can help you beat the stats and keep your new year’s resolution.

Veeder-Root: TLS4 Series Security Settings








TLS4 Series

Technical Support Notification

TLS4 Series Security Settings

Overview

The TLS4 Series consoles come with security features allowing for greater protection and control of access to the Automatic Tank Gauge. Features such as configurable user access and segmented network ports help ensure both network and front-panel security.

This update covers:

  • User and Roles Admin
    • Create User Accounts
    • Custom Roles
  • System Security
    • Front Panel Security
    • Serial Command Port (TCP/IP Interface)
    • SSH Port
    • Serial Command Over SSH
    • HTTPS Port
    • User Admin Via Web
  • Router and Network Switch

User & Roles Admin

Create User Accounts & Custom RolesCreate User Accounts

All TLS4 Series consoles come preconfigured with three roles: Administrator, Operator and Regulator. Additional custom roles can be programmed.

Menu –> System Administration –> Roles Admin

Administrator: This role gives full access to the console – including the ability to create new roles and users.

Operator: This role allows the user to view and generate reports and perform certain manual functions, such as starting a manual line or tank test.

Regulator: This role allows the user to print and view console reports.

Note: Users assigned to the Regulator role cannot be deleted.

To add a Custom role, select Actions –> Add New Role

The Custom role allows each individual screen to be viewable, editable or not accessible. For example, in Setup under the Automatic Events section, each option can be customized:

Veeder-Root strongly recommends creating an Administrator account with a unique password. This will disable the default username and password.

Note: When using the Plus View or Remote View apps, the same login credentials are used.


Security

System SecuritySecurity Settings

The TLS4 Series consoles have optional security features to enhance protection in addition to front panel security that requires a username and password, when enabled.

Front Panel Security: When disabled, all users can access all screens with no password required. When enabled, users must login with a password to gain access to the screens they’re allowed to view.

Serial Command Port (TCP/IP Interface): When disabled, the console will not accept any serial commands sent through a telnet session.

Note: This will not block all traffic on the TCP/IP port. It will only block serial commands.

SSH Port: When disabled, all traffic on the SSH port will be blocked.

Serial Command Over SSH: For the SSH Public Keys feature to work, this port and the SSH port must be enabled. By default, this port is disabled.

HTTPS Port (Web Access): When disabled, all traffic on the HTTPS port will be blocked. This will prevent access to the web portal, and the Plus View and Remote View apps.

User Admin via Web: When disabled, the System Administration screens will be blocked from the web portal – access to these two screens will only be available on the console’s front panel.

Router or Network Switch

Most routers or network switches have additional features allowing ports to be enabled or disabled. Contact device manufacturers or internet service providers (ISPs) for more information.

VeederRoot is committed to providing the highest quality products and services to our customers. As the world leader in the development of fueling system technology, we view product End of Life (EOL) as part of the natural cycle that drives technology evolution.
Therefore, effective immediately we are obsoleting:
All 3” float kits
2” float kits with cable lengths 10’ and 20’
4” float kits with cable lengths 10’ and 20’
If a 10’ or 20’ probe cable is required, the cable may be purchased as a spare part.
