CxVG VIEWS A CONEXXUS VISION GROUP DISCUSSION The Conexxus Vision Group (CxVG) April 2025 meeting focused on how convenience retailers of all sizes can leverage data visualization, analysis, and inventory management tools to make better business decisions. Members saw presentations demonstrating practical applications, emphasizing that even small operators can harness their own data to improve operations, optimize inventory, and enhance vendor relationships.
Owning the Numbers: Data-Driven Decisions from Strategy to Store The April 3, 2025 CxVG quarterly virtual meeting was facilitated by James Maxey , a conve- nience industry expert now teaching at Trinity University. Synergistic demonstrations from Maxey on data visualization tools and techniques and a presentation from CxVG member Babir Sultan , president of FavTrip, showed how small chain operators can use accessible data tools to improve data and inventory management. The presentations sparked lively discussions about how all retailers can leverage data to optimize operations, enhance vendor relationships, and empower staff. In his opening comments, Gray Taylor , executive director of Conexxus, expressed enthusi- asm for the topic, saying, “Everything we do is about data and how it passes back and forth between systems.” He emphasized the challenges facing medium and small operators in getting the data views they need, noting the day’s presentations would explore modern tools that would be useful to retailers of all sizes.
