2026 NACS Show “ROI” – Return on Insight

The 2026 NACS Show theme of “ROI: Return on Insight” focused on turning industry insights and innovation into action that delivers real business value. Both the educational sessions and the expo were buzzing with the latest challenges and opportunities.

ADD Systems solutions can help you harness the potential, including:

• Item Trends – The show highlighted some of the latest trends, from “proteinification” with the current focus on weight loss, to all forms of hydration. Our software can help you thoughtfully add items like this and keep a close eye on their sales and margin to take full advantage of the trend.
• Foodservice Upside – While gas prices may be affecting your store visits, foodservice done well is still a high-margin, loyalty-creating endeavor. Our software can help you manage your offering with recipe management, waste control, and strong margin analysis.
• Fuel Price Volatility – A major topic at the show, high fuel prices and insecurity about supply were front and center. Our software can give you complete visibility into your fuel cost to make sure your loads are profitable, and our powerful reporting with alerts helps keep you in the know about your supply needs and your fast-moving operation.
• Technology Assisting Store Managers – Reducing the administrative burden on store managers helps them lead their teams. Our software helps streamline operations with automation, exception-based reporting, and more, allowing managers to focus on employees and customers.
