Add electrification, new energy models, and rising consumer expectations to the industry landscape, and the demand for a dedicated regional platform is clear.
“Building on a decade of growth, our vision is to expand forecourttech globally. The launch of forecourttech LATAM in association with NTT DATA, our partner in Latin America, is an exciting step on that journey, bringing conversations, insights and business opportunities to the region that forecourttech is known to deliver year on year.”
