A Solution that Delivers Instant Value


Very often there is only one thing that stands in the way of making a decision which will dramatically improve a business’s operations. Money. Capital budget cycles can be such that major improvements often have to wait for funding, even if making a change would almost immediately improve efficiencies and reduce operating expenses.

But the Enevo solution to optimize liquid level logistics takes that off the table. Enevo is a robust, simple and affordable logistics solution that will save time and money while increasing customer satisfaction. Enevo uses ultrasonic technology to remotely measure tank fill levels with sensors that transmit data over cellular networks to a central web portal that can be accessed virtually from any browser-enabled device. As a result, large scale deployment can happen very quickly.

An Approach That Delivers Instant Value


Enevo utilizes a Software as a Service (SaaS) licensing and delivery model, where the software is centrally hosted and licensed on a subscription basis. It makes for a complete end-to-end solution.

There are several payment options available:
  • Subscription Options deliver hardware and network services for one monthly fee.
  •       This fee covers the device, warranty, all data transmissions, access to real time measurements, forecasts, collection lists and alerts via our web service. Not included in the monthly rate are shipping and installation of the sensors.
  •        No upfront investments are required with this option.
  • Purchase/Subscription Options allow a single payment for Enevo hardware and monthly fees for network services. 
  • Purchase Options offer an upfront single payment for both hardware and software
Whether the client is a small private operator or a large corporation, Enevo offers a flexible service agreement to fit any situation. Many Enevo clients start with a small-scale project to experience the benefits the solution provides. This is a way for customers to get into the game and start realizing benefits quickly.

Enevo will minimize total distribution costs over time by accurately understanding the status of inventory, then forecasting service needs based on the history for specific locations. Learn more about the Enevo service at www.husky.com/enevo.

EMV at the Pump: Should You Wait Until 2020?

There has been considerable discussion in the fuel marketing industry about what the extension of the deadline for chip-readers to be installed at fuel pumps around the U.S. really means. The decision provides more time -- until 2020 -- for the fuel dispensers that currently are not capable of processing payments under the Europay MasterCard Visa (EMV) security standards to be upgraded or replaced.

We found this commentary piece published in CSP Daily to offer some interesting thoughts about the decision-making process for selecting when to make the EMV change-over. The writer points out some competitive and cost reasons for making the change sooner, rather than later.

The writer concludes that "Delaying pump EMV upgrades means potential market-share loss and higher fraud risk for your site. Consumers - and crooks - will know who's made the move."
