According to the <a style=\"color: #0071b7;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.phillips66.com\/marketing\/\">National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS)<\/a>, &#8220;Currently, around 55% of fuel-selling stores are single-store operators. Many of these businesses lack the resources to brand their stores independently from the fuel brand they sell and advertise on the canopy, which often results in the misconception that their business is owned and operated by a major oil company.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This independent operator model creates unique security challenges for Phillips 66. While the company provides the brand identity and fuel supply, the responsibility for implementing and maintaining security measures often falls to individual station owners. This decentralized approach can lead to inconsistencies in security practices across the network.<\/p>\n<p>The <a style=\"color: #0071b7;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.phillips66.com\/marketing\/\">NACS<\/a> further notes that &#8220;Major oil companies are reemerging on the retail landscape, reversing a decade-plus trend that reduced their share of the market to less than 0.5% by 2017. Shell Oil Co.\/Motiva Enterprises LLC, Chevron Corp., Exxon Mobil Corp., BP North America and ConocoPhillips\/Phillips 66 collectively have more than 15,000 stores that are franchise operations.&#8221; This franchise model gives Phillips 66 some influence over security standards, but implementation still largely depends on individual operators.<\/p>\n<h3>Specific Security Vulnerabilities and Threats<\/h3>\n<p>Customers may not know their information has been stolen for hours or days after the event. Criminals may use the data to make online purchases or they may sell data online. When pumps are compromised, credit card customers may not know their information has been stolen until fraudulent charges appear on an account statement. This delayed discovery makes prevention particularly critical.<\/p>\n<p>The company must also content with direct fuel theft, which can occur through sophisticated methods. <a style=\"color: #0071b7;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bankinfosecurity.com\/pay-at-the-pump-fraud-grows-a-3798\">U.<span style=\"color: #0071b7;\">S. Ener<\/span>gy<\/a> describes one such technique: &#8220;If the pump&#8217;s prestart is initiated, the suspect can dispense fuel freely by pulling the nozzle (if they power the valve with an external power source). If the pump&#8217;s prestart is disabled, the suspect simply must go to the other side of the dispenser, authorize the grade of gasoline that is powering the valve (which will activate the STP motor), and then they&#8217;ll be able to dispense fuel freely.&#8221; Industry data suggests that up to 1 in 5 gallons of fuel can be pilfered, often through sophisticated methods like &#8216;bladder trucks&#8217; with hidden tanks. The financial impact on Phillips 66&#8217;s network could be substantial without effective security measures.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-18 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-14\"><h2>Implementation of NovaVision Solutions at Phillips 66<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-14 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-19 fusion_builder_column_2_3 2_3 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-padding-bottom:27px;--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:66.666666666667%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:0%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:2.88%;--awb-width-medium:66.666666666667%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:0%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:2.88%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper lazyload fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column fusion-empty-column-bg-image fusion-column-has-bg-image\" data-bg-url=\"https:\/\/www.novavisioninc.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Picture4.png\" data-bg=\"https:\/\/www.novavisioninc.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Picture4.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"fusion-empty-dims-img-placeholder\" aria-label=\"Picture4\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271430%27%20height%3D%27436%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201430%20436%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271430%27%20height%3D%27436%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-20 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-flex-column fusion-flex-align-self-center\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:33.333333333333%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:12.672%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:0px;--awb-spacing-left-large:16.704%;--awb-width-medium:33.333333333333%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:12.672%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:16.704%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div ><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-default fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/www.novavisioninc.com\/samples\/\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text awb-button__text awb-button__text--default\">Want to Try One Out?

First, the company uses verified distribution by ensuring that specialty retail gas security labels are only shipped to validated retail locations or authorized distribution centers, helping prevent criminals from obtaining authentic labels. Second, NovaVision tracks and records the serial numbers shipped to each customer location. For added protection, they recommend incorporating serial number recording and verification into the replacement process, creating a closed-loop system for monitoring label authenticity. Finally, the company enforces rigorous customer verification protocols, confirming the legitimacy of gas station customers through validation of contact information and authorization status before any specialized security labels are sold.<\/p>\n<p>These supply chain security measures are critical, as InstaKey notes that &#8220;While many gas stations now use pump tamper evident labels, they don&#8217;t solve the access problem. These labels can be easily purchased online by anyone and can be used to disguise fuel pumps as secure, when a credit card skimmer has actually been installed.&#8221; NovaVision&#8217;s strict controls help address this vulnerability.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-27 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-21\"><h2>The Phillips 66-NovaVision Partnership<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-28 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-22\"><p><span style=\"font-family: var(--h3_typography-font-family); font-size: var(--h3_typography-font-size); font-style: var(--h3_typography-font-style,normal); font-weight: var(--h3_typography-font-weight); letter-spacing: var(--h3_typography-letter-spacing); text-transform: var(--h3_typography-text-transform); text-align: var(--awb-content-alignment);\">Network-Wide Implementation Challenges and Solutions<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Implementing consistent security measures across Phillips 66\u2019s widespread network of independently operated stations presents unique challenges. To address these, the company has developed a comprehensive approach that combines standardized protocols, supply chain integrity, employee training, and controlled access. By establishing clear, easy-to-follow procedures for the use and inspection of security labels, Phillips 66 promotes uniformity across its diverse retail operations. In partnership with NovaVision, the company also maintains strict control over its supply chain, ensuring that specialty security labels are only distributed to verified retail locations or authorized distribution centers\u2014safeguarding the system\u2019s overall integrity.<\/p>\n<p>A critical element of this strategy is frontline employee awareness. Phillips 66 emphasizes thorough staff training to help all personnel recognize and respond to potential fraud, particularly fuel pump tampering. Additionally, to further reduce vulnerabilities, the company enforces strict controls over who can order security materials. NovaVision verifies that each order comes from an approved buyer, preventing fraudulent attempts by bad actors seeking to obtain or replicate security labels. Together, these measures reflect Phillips 66\u2019s commitment to layered security and its proactive stance in combating fuel fraud across its retail network.<\/p>\n<h3>Collaborative and Proactive Security<\/h3>\n<p>The relationship between Phillips 66 and NovaVision exemplifies a collaborative approach to security that extends beyond a typical vendor-client relationship. John McIntosh highlighted that NovaVision is &#8220;extremely customer-service oriented and very professional. Their response time is incredibly fast.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This partnership is rooted in NovaVision\u2019s deep expertise with the unique security challenges of retail gas stations, backed by proven performance in thousands of locations nationwide. Working closely with Phillips 66, NovaVision provides customized security solutions tailored to operational needs and brand standards, offers ongoing consultation on best practices and emerging threats, and collaborates directly to address and solve security challenges as they arise.<\/p>\n<p>A key strength of the Phillips 66-NovaVision partnership is the implementation of proactive security protocols that help prevent fraud before it occurs. McIntosh has specifically praised NovaVision&#8217;s security procedures, noting that &#8220;They have highly secure protocols. There have been customers who tried ordering some of our labels, but NovaVision found they were not on the approved customer list and reached out to our P66 Fraud Department before any sale was made to confirm it was a legitimate P66 branded customer. That is important because thieves will try to purchase labels acting as customers. NovaVision will not sell to anyone who does not have the correct verifiable site information. Criminals sometimes do have counterfeit security labels that are very close in appearance to a legitimate label. When compared to an authentic label, the color is slightly off and they have a higher sheen. Counterfeit labels also will not have the same number sequence as the roll of legitimate security labels. There have been cases where unscrupulous employees have sold labels to skimmer thieves. NovaVision helps keep us secure at every checkpoint.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The brands\u2019 partnership has evolved to address emerging security threats in the retail fuel industry. As criminal techniques have become more sophisticated, the security solutions implemented by Phillips 66 have adapted accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>This evolution reflects broader industry trends, as &#8220;The global tamper-evident packaging industry is set to expand significantly over the next decade, with its Industry size estimated to grow from USD 1,948.6 million in 2025 to USD 2,775.4 million by 2035, at a steady CAGR of 3.6%.&#8221; This growth is driven by &#8220;increasing consumer awareness about product safety and authenticity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This proactive approach includes a verified ordering system, serial number tracking, and authentication features. \u201cNovaVision checks to confirm that our security labels are only shipped to validated retail locations or authorized distribution centers,\u201d McIntosh explained. This prevents unauthorized access to authentic security products. NovaVision tracks and records the serial numbers shipped to each customer location, creating accountability and traceability throughout the supply chain. Finally, NovaVision&#8217;s security labels include two unique anti-counterfeiting features: 1) a printed watermark in the center of the label, which is visible with the naked eye and also fluoresces when exposed to black light, 2) Without removing the label, the hidden VOID OPENED pattern will fluoresce when exposed to black light. These features make verification simple while making counterfeiting difficult.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: var(--awb-text-font-family); font-size: var(--awb-font-size); font-style: var(--awb-text-font-style); letter-spacing: var(--awb-letter-spacing); text-align: var(--awb-content-alignment); text-transform: var(--awb-text-transform);\">These protocols align with industry recommendations that emphasize the importance of using sequential serial numbers and logging the numbers during inspections. Criminals may try to use counterfeit security stickers, but employees can spot these easily if the serial numbers are not aligned or if the labels are miscolored.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-18 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-29 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element awb-imageframe-style awb-imageframe-style-below awb-imageframe-style-3\" style=\"text-align:center;--awb-margin-right:50px;--awb-margin-left:50px;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--body_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--body_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--body_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--body_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--body_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--body_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--body_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-3 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"468\" height=\"198\" title=\"Picture7\" src=\"https:\/\/www.novavisioninc.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Picture7.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.novavisioninc.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Picture7.jpg\" alt class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-940\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27468%27%20height%3D%27198%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20468%20198%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27468%27%20height%3D%27198%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.novavisioninc.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Picture7-200x85.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.novavisioninc.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Picture7-400x169.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.novavisioninc.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Picture7.jpg 468w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 468px\" \/><\/span><div class=\"awb-imageframe-caption-container\"><div class=\"awb-imageframe-caption\"><div class=\"awb-imageframe-caption-title\">Picture7<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-19 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-30 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-23\"><h3>Cost-Benefit Analysis<\/h3>\n<p>The implementation of NovaVision&#8217;s security solutions represents a cost-effective approach to fraud prevention for Phillips 66.
