Disconnected forecourt data creates cascading operational blind spots

Larotonda reports that energy and convenience retailers operate fragmented data systems that obscure real-time visibility into fuel quality, theft, charger status, and asset profitability—creating operational risk across both traditional and emerging revenue streams. She argues that connecting maintenance records, tank telemetry, dispenser data, and store asset performance is not a technology upgrade but a business necessity to prevent financial loss and ensure regulatory compliance.

interdependent forecourt asset types requiring coordinated visibility

Operators can investigate discrepancies in tank and dispenser data to uncover coordinated fuel-theft scenarios.

Profit margin now increasingly depends on in-store assets staying up and running.

Forecourt profit has moved inside the store, and every asset has to stay running

“Asset records, warranties and contractor performance can inform maintenance decisions across fuel and convenience sites.”
