Use Artificial Intelligence to Improve Travel Center Operations
Artificial intelligence, or AI, is changing the retail, convenience and fueling industries, helping operators optimize sales and inventory, streamline operations, reduce costs and improve the customer experience.
“The benefit of AI is it can help make decisions without having any human emotion involved, which is really important in retail,” said Darren Schulte, NATSO’s vice president of membership.
Inventory Management
Schulte said several NATSO members are using AI to help them manage their inventory, determine their product mix and help create planograms. “From a planogram standpoint, they can ask which to place on certain facings and how to get the most productivity out of them,” he explained.
