AutoGas Systems

What AutoGas Systems does

AutoGas Systems is a private US software company headquartered in Costa Mesa, California, founded in 1986 (with the company's foundational Pay-at-the-Pump technology invented in 1982). The company builds cloud-based fuel management and payment controller software that runs unattended fueling operations at gas stations, convenience stores, municipalities, and clean energy fleets. Its core product is the Advanced Fuel and Payment Controller, a single control unit that simultaneously supports gasoline, diesel, CNG, LNG, and hydrogen and integrates with the three major US dispenser brands (Gilbarco, Wayne, Kraus), five payment processors (WorldPay, NBS, ISD, FDC Bypass, HPS), and all national fleet card providers under a PA-DSS certified architecture. The platform also includes a convenience store POS module supporting quick serve, table service, and delivery, a real-time reporting engine, sales forecasting, and free iOS and Android mobile apps.

The business model is freemium at the core: the base fuel controller, POS business intelligence, payment authorizer, and mobile apps are offered at no cost with no contract and no credit card required, distributed through the company's website, iTunes, Google Play, and the Hubworks App Store. Paid enterprise pricing is gated behind a direct sales engagement for operators with 10+ locations, supplemented by transaction-based payment processing fees. AutoGas cites thousands of customers and public testimonials from enterprise operators including Clean Energy, OnCue Express, and Murphy Oil, with the company operating under the broader Hubworks ecosystem (shared API at api.hubworks.com and Hubworks Terms/Privacy governance). The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, revenue figures, or headcount.

Direct peers

• Wayne Fueling Systems (OPW, a Dover company): Wayne manufactures dispensers and the iX pay / Ovation forecourt controllers integrated with major fuel retailers. It competes head-to-head with AutoGas on multi-dispenser control and pay-at-the-pump authorization.
• Orpak Systems (Parker Hannifin): Orpak provides forecourt controllers, payment automation, and fuel site management software to retail fuel and c-store chains globally, making it a directly comparable controller/payment platform vendor.
• Gilbarco Veeder-Root: Gilbarco is the dominant forecourt controller and dispenser manufacturer, offering Passport POS and FlexPay payment authorization to the same c-store and gas station operators AutoGas serves. It is the most direct competitor in fuel payment and POS.
• Comdata (Corpay): Comdata is a major fleet fuel card issuer and payment processor, competing in the same fleet-card acceptance and transaction authorization workflows that AutoGas supports at the dispenser.
• WEX Inc. WEX is a leading fleet fuel card and payments platform, including universal fleet acceptance at fuel retailers. It overlaps AutoGas's fleet card management and proprietary private card issuance functionality.
• P97 Networks: P97 provides the PetroZone mobile commerce and payment-acceptance platform connecting fuel retailers to mobile wallets, apps, and connected-car experiences — directly adjacent to AutoGas's at-the-pump payment and loyalty stack.
• Invenco (GVR): Invenco, now part of GVR, builds outdoor payment terminals and retrofit forecourt payment solutions for fuel retailers, directly overlapping AutoGas's payment authorization and dispenser-agnostic architecture.

Broad incumbents

• NCR Voyix: NCR Voyix sells enterprise POS including fuel retail solutions to large c-store chains. It is a broader incumbent that competes with AutoGas's convenience store POS software in multi-site deployments.
• Verifone: Verifone is a major payment terminal and gateway provider with significant penetration at fuel dispensers. It overlaps AutoGas's certified payment processing stack as part of a much wider payment hardware portfolio.
• PAR Technology: PAR Technology provides restaurant and convenience store POS software (including Brink) used by multi-site operators. It overlaps AutoGas's c-store POS functionality but as part of a much broader hospitality tech portfolio.
