Dover Fueling Solutions’ Digital Receipts Offer Potential Savings for European Fuel Retailers

AUSTIN, TEXAS – 9 November 2026 – As Europe accelerates its transition towards more sustainable and digitally connected retail experiences, Dover Fueling Solutions^® (DFS) is providing retailers with a solution that will help reduce paper use, receipt-related costs, and operational efforts while improving the fuel station carbon footprint.

Part of Dover Corporation and a leading global provider of advanced customer-focused technologies, services and solutions in the fuel and convenience retail industry, DFS introduced its Digital Receipt Service for fuel retailers in Europe early 2026, extending digital receipt capabilities across the DFS Prizma^® ecosystem. This includes the DFS Self-Checkout Kiosk, DFS Crypto NOVA^® indoor payment terminal (IPT), outdoor payment terminal (OPT), and dispenser integrated terminal (DIT).

Today, in collaboration with TSG Netherlands, De Pooter Olie is rolling out this service across its entire Dutch network of fuel stations to provide their growing customer base with a simple way to access receipts on their smartphones.

A Convenient Alternative to Paper

Customers can request a receipt and access it by scanning a QR code with their smartphone. No registration or app download is required, and customers do not need to provide personal information. In today’s technology-focused consumer environment, digital receipts are easier to store and share for bookkeeping or expense tracking. They are also less likely to be lost, damaged, or become unreadable.

Paper receipts can cost an average of €0.015 to €0.050 each. Offering a digital option could help De Pooter Olie reduce paper use and related expenses, including paper transport to unmanned sites, printer maintenance and the effort involved in replacing paper rolls, particularly outdoors. Actual savings will depend on transaction volumes and customer uptake.

"Digital receipts represent an important step forward in making everyday transactions more sustainable, convenient, and connected,” said Joost Jansen, Sales Manager, DFS Benelux. “Across Europe, businesses are increasingly recognising the opportunity to rethink traditional processes and embrace digital alternatives that deliver tangible benefits for both customers and the environment. Through the rollout of DFS Digital Receipts, De Pooter Olie’s network in the Netherlands demonstrates how even small changes to everyday experiences can contribute to a much bigger shift towards more responsible and sustainable retailing."

Supporting More Efficient Operations

The move to digital receipts also offers an opportunity to create more efficient and streamlined retail operations. By reducing reliance on traditional paper receipts, fuel retailers can minimise paper and printer consumable usage, reduce maintenance requirements, and simplify receipt management across both individual sites and large fuel networks.

Digital receipts may also help reduce paper waste and clutter. Thermal paper is often non-recyclable, so replacing paper receipts with digital versions can support the businesses’ environmental sustainability efforts. At the same time, digital alternatives can support retailers' wider ambitions to modernise operations and reduce their environmental footprint.

Stephan Kienhuis, De Pooter Olie added, “The Digital receipts service from DFS has been working incredibly well for our network of stations. They make it easier for our customers to keep and share their receipts, while helping us reduce paper use and the time spent managing receipt printers. The customer feedback has been great, and we are now doing more to improve our CO2 footprint. We noticed an extremely positive impact since integrating digital receipts onto our sites.”

As sustainability and operational efficiency become increasingly important priorities for businesses across Europe, initiatives such as this demonstrate how digital innovation can deliver practical benefits for both retailers and consumers.
