Air-Serv is currently presenting the companies' combined solution at the NACS Show in Chicago, October 4-7. The NACS Show is the most comprehensive annual gathering of retailers and suppliers in the global convenience and petroleum retailing industry.

"Motorists will no longer need to carry coins, or go into the gas station or convenience store to convert bills into change to operate the air compressor or vacuum," said Tom Bauer, president of AIR-serv. "We are installing the USA Technologies e-Port cashless transaction solution on our tire inflation compressors and vacuum machines to give motorists the ease, convenience and speed of being able to use credit or debit cards. The $140 billion convenience and gas industry has proven that consumers are comfortable using debit and credit cards at the pump and in stores to make small purchases. We are confident that these buying habits will be replicated when a consumer needs to inflate tires or vacuum their cars."

 

Under the agreement with USA Technologies, AIR-serv will install 10,000 e-Port cashless transaction terminals over the next two years. Installations are expected to begin before the end of the year.
