Brendan Doner, who joined TLM recently as Director of Data Science, oversees evoPricePlus development and integration of artificial intelligence, complex data mining, and statistical analysis technologies to help convenience store owners assess business trends and opportunities to grow revenues. Doner draws on over 15 years in data science, software development, customer service, and business development. Most recently he was a strategic insights consultant at Kalibrate.

“Fuel retailers need to be able to manage increasing fuel price volatility to be competitive and maximize profitability. Yet many are still relying on outdated processes or previous generations of technology,” said Lee Papper, CEO of TLM. “At TLM, we intend to stay on the cusp to help retailers cull through data, extend human intelligence, identify trends, correlations, and find market opportunities. evoPricePlus replaces subjectivity with better decision making across stores to forecast and plan for the future. We are excited to announce evoPricePlus and Brendan to our team to help advance the way c-stores use artificial intelligence to gain an edge and become more profitable.”
