ATIO® Group celebrates 28 years of technological innovation for fuel management

In 2022, ATIO® Group celebrates its 28th Anniversary as a leader in technology solutions to manage fuel management in all types of industries, with innovations to optimize the operation of service stations in current market conditions, through new contactless payment methods, digital transformation, remote administration, and distance training thanks to its ATIO® University digital educational platform.

ATIO® Group was created in April 1994 and has been a Microsoft™ Certified Partner since 1996. In 1997, it began its specialization in fuel management with the development of the ControlGAS® administration system, which today is used by more than 5,000 gas stations in Mexico, representing more than 40% of the service station market in this country. More than 3,000 gas stations in the Caribbean, Central and South America with various solutions developed by the different companies of the group and its allies, complement this installed base.

"The new health conditions had a significant effect on three aspects of service stations: contactless payment, digital transformation and remote administration," explained the President and CEO of ATIO® Group, Pablo Gualdi.

“As a result, we generate our own technologies to increase contactless payment options, through alliances with banks and other financial institutions. Through these partnerships, our software and automation tools receive and process a wide variety of digital payments across the country. Our fleet management system has also been sophisticated, so that large logistics clients can load gas more quickly,” added the CEO.

ATIO® University, the first e-learning platform for fuel stations
