Customers will now be able to add the Additech engine cleaning solution to their fuel at the dispenser making it convenient for motorists to maintain their fueling systems while they pump gasoline. The Additech system integrates into Ovation dispensers through the Dresser Wayne iX Media platform. It is installed, operated and maintained by Additech.
"Together, Dresser Wayne and Additech delivered a solution that exceeded our expectations and improved the fueling experience for our customers," said George Presses, director of petroleum marketing at San Antonio, Texas-based H-E-B.
"H-E-B customers appreciate the interactive Ovation dispenser with its Additech service offering, and H-E-B enjoys the profits this solution delivers," added James Aulds, vice president of petroleum marketing at H-E-B.
"This solution from Dresser Wayne and Additech allows retailers to increase their forecourt profits and in-store sales without a large investment in car wash or other forecourt technology," said Mike Carlson, president of Austin, Texas-based Dresser Wayne North America.
"Not only is the new Additech system on the Ovation dispenser easy and convenient for consumers, it also creates an attractive profit stream for retailers. These profits can be used to fund fuel dispenser upgrades, such as PCI compliance improvements, or to improve a retailer's bottom line," said Ralph Koehrer, CEO of Additech, Houston.
