Chevron Products Company and Vontier Corporation announced that the companies will be partnering up to roll out Invenco by GVR’s iNFX platform to its United States network of Chevron and Texaco branded stations.

iNFX is a cloud-based microservices platform that will give Chevron the flexibility to deploy technology updates as they become available.

“Chevron has been looking for a solution to enable faster transaction times and rapid deployment of new features and payment options to market, and we are excited to help achieve Chevron’s goals via iNFX,” said Karthik Ganapathi, president of Invenco by GVR. “Through iNFX, Chevron will have a microservices led, cloud-based solution that enables productivity, reduces complexity and operating costs, improves the consumer experience and accelerates Chevron's revenue growth.”

Chevron will be able to accelerate technology integration through standards-based APIs that can then be applied to any POS type on the Chevron network. This will allow technology updates to be deployed more quickly and easily for Chevron and Texaco marketers and retailers, capturing the value of the updates and providing a consistent customer experience, according to a company press release.

“This new platform is also great for our Chevron and Texaco marketers and retailers,” said Tryp Wittstruck, Chevron channel experience manager. “In addition to greater flexibility and speed-to-deployment, they can benefit from remote deployment through onsite iNFX edge devices or Invenco outdoor payment terminals, reducing the tech visits required to enable new features.”

Chevron will begin installing iNFX edge devices to U.S. Chevron and Texaco stations in late 2023, with the first stations seeing the platform by the end of September. All branded locations in the United States will be upgraded by the end of 2024. This is the latest in a series of technology upgrades at Chevron and Texaco stations over the last two years, including the Chevron and Texaco apps and the Chevron Texaco Rewards program, which is expected to be available across nearly the entire U.S. network by the end of 2023.

“All upgrades to our technology stack will position Chevron to better meet the needs of customers, marketers and retailers well into the future” said Rod Tos, Chevron’s manager for payments, loyalty and mobility.
