 Challenge
|
| Many of the industry’s largest convenience store and petroleum chains operate remote fueling sites for truck and van fleets. These unmanned fueling sites allow drivers with credit or fleet cards to purchase gasoline. Without staff to assist and monitor activities, site security and a reliable system are critical. Beyond these issues, the owners of these sites also need a solution that will make the site accessible for troubleshooting and support. |
Solution |
| Precidia’s POSLynx220™ with NetVu™ is changing the way remote fueling sites operate. Improving payments, the POSLynx220 allows these sites to transmit faster, more reliable transactions over a VPN or public internet, eliminating modems and dedicated dial lines for a cost savings to the petroleum company. With the same device, which features 2 dial and 2 serial ports, onsite security cameras can be monitored and managed remotely by a nearby retail store or corporate office, using a standard web browser. A key issue at remote fueling sites, fuel card security is improved using the POSLynx220. By integrating the fuel dispenser and onsite video surveillance system on the WAN, operators can search and view video based on transaction information. This transaction information is displayed with the video and has proven to be instrumental in helping customers identify misuse of their fuel cards. |
| Finally, the POSLynx220 with NetVu allows the petroleum company or its network provider to access the fuel dispenser, or any of its onsite equipment remotely for application downloads, updates, and diagnostics. Certified with major vendors such as Gilbarco and March Networks, as well as processors such as NBS, the solution is easy to deploy using NetVu’s remote deployment capability. |
| The POSLynx220 with NetVu boasts a suite of features that make it ideal for remote fueling and other c-store/petroleum solutions. Its industry leading approach to security features SSL encryption for secure access via the public internet, and field tested firewalling. In addition, NetVu provides automatic PCI updates to ensure compliance is maintained for optimal cardholder security. For enhanced reliability, POSLynx220 with NetVu features automatic dial back-up. |
