What Gluon does

Gluon Solutions, Inc. is a privately held connected-mobility software company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Livermore, California, with additional offices in Portland (U.S. R&D) and Gurugram and Bengaluru (India HQ and engineering). The company sells an integrated software and IoT platform — built on cloud, IoT, data analytics, machine learning, and mobile — that connects vehicles, fuel stations, convenience stores, fuel distributors, auto-parts sellers, and fleet operators into a unified network for remote monitoring, diagnostics, and commerce.

Its product suite spans three lines. Petromo provides back-office and remote management for fuel-station operators, fuel distributors, and convenience stores, with modules for Automated Tank Gauge (ATG) monitoring, Central Price Book pricing, lottery management, and tobacco scan-data reporting to manufacturers. Gluon Auto delivers OBD-II-based vehicle monitoring for individual owners (Gluon Vehicle Monitor) and fleet tracking and diagnostics for operators (Gluon Fleet Manager). EZ Lister offers auto-parts cataloging and fitment tools (EZ Catalog, EZ Fitment) that publish ACES/PIES-validated listings to eBay Motors and Amazon. The proprietary PetroLink IoT device (approximately 4x2x2 inches) connects Gilbarco Veeder-Root and Verifone systems to Gluon's cloud, eliminating stand-alone PCs at each site.

Gluon monetizes through SaaS subscriptions (monthly or annual, with a 30-day free trial for Petromo), per-site IoT hardware licensing for the PetroLink device, and professional services for enterprise deployments. Distribution combines sales-led engagement (Contact us / Request a Demo CTAs), self-serve trials, and marketplace integrations for auto-parts sellers. The company serves primarily SMB fuel-station operators alongside wholesalers, fleet operators, and individual vehicle owners, with no disclosed institutional funding or external investors on record.

• Geotab: Geotab is a leading fleet telematics platform with OBD-II plug-in devices and a cloud analytics platform. Direct peer to Gluon Fleet Manager, with comparable vehicle tracking, diagnostics, and driver-behavior functionality, but at much larger scale.
• Samsara: Samsara provides IoT-based fleet management, vehicle telematics, and operational analytics for businesses. Direct peer to Gluon Fleet Manager with a much broader enterprise customer base and significantly larger platform footprint.
• Verizon Connect: Verizon Connect offers fleet tracking, vehicle diagnostics, and fuel management software to SMB and enterprise fleets. Direct peer to Gluon Fleet Manager, leveraging Verizon's network connectivity as a structural advantage.

Broad incumbents

• Gilbarco Veeder-Root: Gilbarco is the dominant dispenser and POS hardware provider for fuel retailers and is one of Gluon's core integration partners. Their Forecourt Plus and Applause software suites overlap with Petromo, but as a large incumbent they sell hardware-led solutions rather than pure SaaS.
• Verifone: Verifone is a global POS hardware and payment services provider for fuel and convenience retail and is another Gluon integration partner. Their payment-centric platform overlaps with Petromo's POS integration layer but does not address ATG or fuel ordering.
• NCR Voyix: NCR Voyix (formerly NCR Retail) provides POS and back-office solutions for convenience stores and fuel retailers. Broad incumbent competing with Gluon's C-store and price book modules across enterprise-scale customers.

Others

• Shopify: Shopify is a leading SMB e-commerce platform that auto parts sellers use as an alternative or complement to EZ Lister's eBay/Amazon channels. Adjacent enabling platform rather than a direct competitor in auto-specific fitment data.
