The 7-Eleven Fuel App is the latest customer engagement innovation to be powered by VMob's industry-leading platform. VMob's intelligent personalization platform uses data collected from the app and sources to offer each customer relevant deals on other convenience items they may need. The first app of its kind, it creates the personalized experience that leads to increased customer satisfaction and retention.
Paul Wallace, digital marketing manager at 7-Eleven Australia, commented, "The 7-Eleven Fuel App is a world-first innovation that forms a key part of our strategy to continue to be Australia's number one convenience store.
