- RaceTrac deploys HPE ProLiant servers in every store to
transform technology environment and optimize workloads across
self-service gas pumps, in-store checkout, inventory management,
and employee resources
- RaceTrac will explore future use cases using HPE compute
foundation to address fraud detection and prevention, and real-time
inventory tracking
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced a
collaboration with RaceTrac, a company that operates a chain of
gasoline service stations and convenience stores across the
southern United States.
HPE supports RaceTrac’s digital transformation to modernize and
deliver a consistent experience for its customers across its 800+
stores. The two organizations work together closely to achieve
RaceTrac’s business goals with HPE compute at the foundation. HPE
ProLiant servers were implemented in every store to deliver
reliability, industry-leading security, and optimized performance
for a range of applications.
RaceTrac also relies on HPE Alletra Storage, a cloud-native data
infrastructure, to improve ease of use and increase operational
efficiency. The upgrade boosts RaceTrac’s storage capacity and
simplifies its data management.
“HPE compute and storage solutions provide retailers a unique
foundation to fuel seamless customer experiences and optimized
operations,” said Neil MacDonald, executive vice president and
general manager, Compute, at HPE. “RaceTrac is a powerful example
of a retail organization embracing data-first modernization to
power new applications and drive better business outcomes. We had
the pleasure of teaming up with RaceTrac to support them on this
journey to unlock greater value for their customers and boost
competitiveness.”
RaceTrac improves daily operations and future-proofs business
with new compute environment
RaceTrac’s new compute environment supports workloads that are
critical to enhancing the customer experience, including
self-pumping gas stations, credit card and payment processing, and
a customer loyalty platform.
RaceTrac will also apply HPE compute and storage technology to
improve overall store management programs such as camera
surveillance, employee digital timecards to clock-in and clock-out,
daily accounting summaries, staff scheduling, and inventory order
placements.
“The average time spent by a RaceTrac customer is approximately
two and a half minutes, and our goal is to offer a frictionless
experience during every visit,” said Tyler Grubbs, executive
director, Store Systems and Technologies, at RaceTrac. “We chose
HPE because they entered the trenches with our IT team to
understand our needs and how to support our organization’s mission.
In addition to making our customers’ experience simpler and more
enjoyable, the new compute environment will enable us with
capabilities to harness the power of data to make better business
decisions.”
HPE and RaceTrac are also exploring future use cases to improve
other areas such as increasing fraud prevention and detection with
video surveillance and analytics, and real-time inventory tracking
using computer vision.
