Forecourt Automation

From the Fuel Station to the Boardroom — One Connected Digital Platform

Connects every dispenser and every tank to your books. Nozzle and tank readings flow automatically from the forecourt into shift sales, stock and the head-office ledger.

How it works

5 steps.
One flow.

Forecourt Automation joins the hardware on the forecourt to the software in the back office. Interface cards read each dispenser's electronic totals and each tank's ATG probe. The COL Controller authorises and logs every fill, the station POS closes every shift with meter readings, dips, credit sales and cash, and a scheduled sync posts each closed shift to the head-office fuel ERP. Managers follow sales against target on live BI dashboards, regulator reports for OGRA come from the same data, and SMS and WhatsApp alerts flag what needs attention. Nobody has to copy readings off a meter again.
