Evolve is serving as a connectivity partner for Asda’s recently acquired forecourt sites and is providing technology and managed connectivity services.
Asda acquired 116 petrol forecourt sites from the Co-op in 2022 in a £600m deal, and required SD-WAN, connectivity and guest Wi-Fi, as well as connectivity to third parties such as POS vendors and fuel tank polling
Alan Stephenson-Brown, CEO at Evolve, said: “The fuel forecourt sector is highly competitive, where connectivity is key to success.
“A key challenge facing the team was that each of the new sites requiring connectivity faced time constraints, meaning it was imperative for our engineering and development teams to tailor the connectivity solution to fit the deadline.”
The investment in fully managed network solutions will enable Asda forecourts to collect v data and analytics.
