Ignite Retail Technology

The latest edition of the Convenience Retail Insights podcast is live. In this edition I spoke with Adam Diglio MS OD, a partner at The Interlude Group, about the latest strategies in #hiring, #retaining, and #training top talent for the #conveniencestore and #gasstation industry. Diglio dives into the #technology and #humanresources practices that are transforming how companies approach better hiring and employee retention. He emphasizes the importance of creating an outstanding #corporateculture that aligns with the company’s beliefs, goals, and vision. By linking personal values with company objectives, businesses can build a #loyalworkforce that supports long-term success. https://lnkd.in/ecjQEF-4

The latest edition of the Convenience Retail Insights podcast is live! Big thank you to this week's guest, John Matthews, President and CEO of Gray Cat Enterprises. John has 30 years of #retail experience at some of the biggest brands in the #conveniencestore and #foodservice industries. John and I spoke about building a great #companyculture, #hiring and #retaining great employees and what it takes to exceed the customers' expectations every day. John is a big champion of doing the little things right -- the blocking and tackling of #convenienceretailing. By understanding how to give customers a great experience and empowering employees to be brand ambassadors, he said, retailers are laying the foundation for great things. I hope you enjoy the conversation and offer your feedback!  #conveniencestores #cstores #foodservice #empoweringemployees #humanresources #localstoremarketing #delivery #foodservicedelivery https://lnkd.in/emjicQmB

I was delighted to hear of Crystal Maggelet's recent announcement to serve as Maverik, Inc.'s CEO and Chief Adventure Guide! She has always been a courageous, brilliant and dedicated leader. Always been behind the scenes at Maverik. She's also no stranger to convenience stores either. Her father, Jay Call started Pilot Flying J and her grandfather started Maverik. It's in her blood! She has passion for the Maverik adventure brand. If you think her passion for the Maverik adventure brand will come from sitting at her desk, think again. I've been on a handful of runs with her and it's a challenge for me to keep up. Congrats Maverik!! Another amazing adventure awaits!!! #Cstoreleadership #conveniencenews #Maverik #Adventuresfirststop

Two more retailer launches on Vroom today! Meyer Oil Co DBA Mach 1 Stores and Fill-n-chill! Both of these retailers' online programs are fully integrated in Ignite Retail Technology loyalty, allowing customers to earn and use rewards points just like they were in-store! Fill-n-chill also leverages Vroom's integration with Ignite backoffice software to automate pricebook, inventory, and transaction journal. This allows full menu automation and removes the need for ringing up orders as they flow directly to the backoffice, bypassing the Point of Sale. We are excited to work with both of these retailers to grow their online programs to drive meaningful revenue!
