3 reasons why you are not winning more new business
Over the past four years of listening to our retail members, we want to share with you the 3 top reasons why you may not be winning more new business. These reasons are not rocket science, however it is stunning to see so many manufacturers continuing to fail in simple execution. So here they are: 1. Meet retailers on their terms Next time you are getting your morning coffee, just observe what is going on here. Chances are everyone behind the counter is busy and naturally focused on serving their customers.

Connectivity through IoT makes it possible for retailers to more efficiently manage their sites, from revenue and security to fuel supply chain and food safety. It can provide real-time data, save energy, improve profitability and provide for a better customer experience. “The biggest threats to a c-store’s profitability are downtime and inefficiency,” Veeder-Root CEO Andrew Robinson told Convenience Store News. “In both cases, a connected system improves your visibility to operation status and allows…
