Top 50 Indie Penny Petroleum, which operates 99 forecourts, is trialling Forecourt Eye’s anti-drive-off tech across half a dozen sites ahead of a potential portfolio-wide rollout.
The trial will see Forecourt Eye’s systems assessed over four areas: ANPR number-plate alert efficacy using the firm’s ‘blacklist’ of 250,000 suspicious registration paired with DVLA data; digital debt recovery processes; EPOS integration; and audit tracing for recovery and reporting incidents.
Forecourt Eye says the trial represents “one of the most comprehensive evaluations of forecourt security and loss-prevention technology” underway in the UK, with the firm’s managing director Michelle Henchoz, describing it as “a pivotal moment for modern forecourt operations”, and one that “will demonstrate how that capability translates into measurable operational and financial impact”.
Penny’s chief commercial officer, Tony Jackson, said the firm takes its “responsibility to protect our business, our staff and our customers extremely seriously”, and the trial will allow the company to “rigorously evaluate Forecourt Eye’s platform in real-world conditions across a representative sample of our estate”.
Jackson added the trial will allow Penny to assess how Forecourt Eye’s efficacy, and that “based on what we’ve seen so far, we’re confident this technology can deliver”.
