Innovation leader PDI Technologies reveals its second annual trends outlook in live webinar<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, November 28, 2023<\/strong> (PR Newswire<\/a>) \u2013 With ongoing pressures to optimize their workforce, offer advanced amenities, manage industry consolidation, and navigate economic uncertainty, convenience retailers experienced many challenges and opportunities in 2023. As this year comes to a close, innovation leader PDI Technologies looks at what\u2019s ahead in 2024<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTop retailers, popular brands, and technology innovators will distinguish themselves by prioritizing integration and collaboration,\u201d said Jeff Hassman, VP Product Strategy and Partnerships, PDI. \u201cWe all have insightful data on what\u2019s happening in the store, at the pump, or behind the scenes. By working together to connect that data, we can maximize the convenience experience for consumers\u2014which means a big win for the industry.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three trends that will most impact the global convenience industry in 2024 include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Technology\u2019s growing role in operational excellence<\/strong>: With evolving labor challenges, forward-looking operators will invest in technologies that integrate easily with their existing systems to reduce complexity and make their processes\u2014and their employees\u2014smarter, faster, and more efficient.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. The need to deliver more valuable consumer experiences<\/strong>: While consumer confidence may improve as inflation levels off, engaging shoppers with the most relevant, compelling, and personal experiences will become table stakes for retailers and CPG brands alike. Product promotions also can have positive long-term results, as revealed in the recent \u201cTracking Convenience Report<\/a>\u201d based on data and analysis from PDI and GasBuddy. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. E-mobility and EV readiness<\/strong>: Though the energy transition has begun<\/a>, there\u2019s still runway to ensure that the prime real estate c-stores already occupy becomes a strategic destination beyond fuel for consumers looking to charge their EVs. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        <\/div>\n\n\n\n

        \u201cRetailers already winning at foodservice understand the c-store as a destination, which we\u2019ve seen with success first in the highly competitive European and Asian markets and now throughout North America,\u201d said Justin Baxley, Vice President,\u202fRetail Product Management, PDI. \u201cThe need to prioritize additional amenities beyond fuel will continue as c-stores cement their relevance to consumers of all kinds, no matter if they\u2019re driving internal combustion engine, electric, or other types of vehicles.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Hassman and Baxley will join Linnea Geiss, Chief Operating Officer at PDI, for a discussion on Thursday, November 30, at 2 pm ET hosted by NACS, the leading global trade association dedicated to advancing convenience and fuel retailing.
