STONY CREEK, Va. -- Davis Travel Center in Stony Creek, Va., is processing cardless transactions and was the first to do so using Comdata Corp.'s Smart Solutions. Comdata, a leader in payment technology and services, has announced the continued expansion of its cardless fuel solution. These transactions can now process through its Smart Solutions point-of-sale (POS) platform.
This location is one of two Davis Travel Center sites to implement the SmartQ cardless fueling technology with the Smart Solutions POS. Smart Solutions is a consolidated POS platform designed to manage all profit centers. With this new capability, it also provides a way for convenience store and truckstop locations to easily offer cardless fueling to support their fleet customers.
The Comdata cardless solution, which began processing live transactions in August, automates the fueling process and data entry requirements with the use of a cost-effective RFID tag. This benefits both the fleet and the merchant by reducing the risk of fraudulent transactions, automatically shutting off the pump when the truck pulls away. In addition to the network of independent merchants that are installing the SmartQ cardless fueling technology, Love's Travel Stops is near completion of enabling more than 235 travel stops to accept cardless transactions, Comdata said. Travel Centers of America (TA) is also in the process of equipping their locations to accept cardless transactions, Comdata added.
"Comdata strives to continually bring innovation to the transportation industry," said Steve Stevenson, president of Comdata. "This expansion in our cardless fueling capabilities is the next step in delivering solutions that can make the fuel transaction easier, faster and more secure for both merchants and fleets."
Brentwood, Tenn.-based Comdata is a leading business-to-business provider of electronic payment solutions. As an issuer and a processor, the company provides fleet, corporate payment, virtual card and prepaid solutions to more than 25,000 customers, enabling more than $31 billion in transactions annually. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ceridian Corp.
The Davis family operates two large, modern travel travel centers in Virginia; it also operates an Exxon gas station and convenience store in Prince George County in Maryland.
