AUSTIN, TX – January 31, 2024– Dover Fueling Solutions® (DFS), a part of Dover Corporation and a leading global provider of advanced customer-focused technologies, services and solutions in the fuel and convenience retail industries, announced that it has completed the acquisition of Bulloch Technologies (Bulloch). Bulloch is a Canadian leader in integrated point of sale (POS), forecourt control, payment and loyalty solutions for fuel and convenience retail. The acquisition of Bulloch and its technology enhances DFS’s capabilities in providing its convenience store customers with a comprehensive and unified solution to elevate their business performance.
“We are excited to welcome Bulloch Technologies to the DFS family, a strategic move that enables us to provide our convenience store customers with a comprehensive POS solution spanning both the forecourt and in-store operations,” said David Crouse, President at DFS. “By joining forces, we’re not only enhancing our technological capabilities, but also reinforcing our commitment to innovation, customer satisfaction and long-term growth. We look forward to the continued success and growth that this partnership will bring to both organizations.”
“By enhancing our POS solutions offering in North America, we are not only streamlining our processes but also solidifying our position as leaders in product and innovation in the retail and fueling industry,” said Kendra Keller, Vice President and General Manager, North America, at DFS. “This acquisition will allow customers to simplify operations, accelerate technology implementations and enhance overall user experience. We look forward to offering our customers this end-to-end solution in 2024.”
POS solutions serve as the central hub enabling commercial and operational functions in fuel and convenience retail stores and control forecourt peripherals such as dispensers. By seamlessly integrating Bulloch’s POS technology into DFS Anthem UX® platform on the Wayne Ovation® fuel dispensers, convenience store operators will benefit from:
Operational efficiency: The integration simplifies daily processes, reduces complexity, and improves overall efficiency by removing the need for a third-party vendor.
Accelerated technology implementation: With all services consolidated to one company, c-store owners can expect a more controlled and expedited implementation of updates and innovations to keep pace with market demands.
Improved user experience: The integration will make it a smoother consumer experience with optimized efficiency at every touchpoint. Consumers will benefit from seamless transactions, innovative loyalty programs and speed of use at the pump.
“From ensuring secure and streamlined transactions to offering integrated loyalty programs and analytics-driven insights, POS systems are essential for the success of convenience store businesses,” says Lorne Cam, Managing Partner at Bulloch. “As part of DFS, we’ll provide North American convenience retailers in both the U.S. and Canada efficient, feature-rich and dependable end-to-end POS integration across the forecourt and in-store.”
Founded in Toronto, Canada, Bulloch is a POS, Forecourt Control (FCC) and Electronic Payment Server (EPS) solution. The company processes over $35 billion in sales and 520 million transactions annually at 7,000 sites throughout Canada.
