DOWNERS GROVE, Ill.,
March 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Dover Fueling Solutions ("DFS"), a part of
Dover (NYSE: DOV) and a leading global provider of advanced
customer-focused technologies, services and solutions in the fuel
and convenience retail industries, today announced a partnership
with Shell to co-develop and launch Self-Checkout Kiosks across
several fueling stations in the
Netherlands.
Shell sites, equipped with the DFS Self-Checkout Kiosk, enable
visitors to scan their own fuel and in-store products and make
their purchases in a single, harmonized transaction. After a series
of successful tests, Shell plans to extend the solution to its
delis by Shell stations (sites with bakery service) in the coming
weeks to promote an all-inclusive experience, with further
expansion to its motorway service stations expected later in the
year.
The DFS Self-Checkout Kiosk was developed in close cooperation
between various teams across the Shell network and a partnership
with DFS.
"We were able to successfully trial the kiosk in just eight
short weeks," said Christel Boevé, Shell Marketing Channel and
Insights Manager. "Our priority has been focused on stations with
deli facilities, but we are now testing the solution at various
Shell motorway stations and expect that it will be implemented
across our motorway network very soon."
Visitors to the DFS Self-Checkout Kiosk sites will have the
option to take charge of their fuel and convenience purchasing
experience, giving Shell staff greater flexibility in managing
their roles, the ability to pay more attention to their guests and
the capability to serve them in a more personal way. Giving
visitors the option to scan and checkout themselves has already
gone a long way in reducing queues and improving efficiencies
across Shell stores.
Lynn, an experienced hostess at Shell Boulevard in Zeist,
Netherlands has been heavily
involved in the project from the beginning. "Fewer and fewer people
who visit Shell bakery service stations want to pay for their
refueling alone," Lynn explained. "A long queue is frustrating for
many guests, especially when they don't have a lot of time.
Self-scanning offers a huge advantage for both the customer and the
Shell network."
Kurt Dillen, VP Business
Development, DFS, said, "Our new self-checkout solution, developed
in an agile way with Shell, is delivering the ultimate enhanced
customer experience and will help the station owner improve
throughput and reduce their operational cost."
