Alien Automation

Fuel Management and Point of Sale Systems

Innovative. Experienced. Reliable.

Founded in 2006, Alien Automation Technologies was born from the need for an affordable yet cutting-edge Point of Sale (POS) solution with a simple, user-friendly interface. Over the years, our platform has evolved into a stable, multi-industry application, serving businesses ranging from small corner cafés to large enterprises with nationwide and international operations.

We are a trusted technology partner for organizations across key industries, including the oil sector, meat processing, and commercial vehicle rentals. Our clients include leading fuel companies in Botswana, global car rental brands like Avis, and major agribusinesses such as Zambeef in Zambia. As the primary data hub for these businesses, Alien Automation Technologies facilitates business intelligence, stock management, daily sales tracking, deliveries, and capital expenditure management.

With over 90 years of combined experience in IT, electronics, and software development, we have expanded beyond software to develop our own locally manufactured hardware, specifically designed for the fuel industry. Our range includes pump controllers, tag readers, fingerprint scanners, and facial recognition systems, all engineered to integrate seamlessly with popular fuel dispenser models. By employing local expertise, we ensure our solutions are tailored to meet the unique demands of the Southern African market.

What sets us apart is our deep understanding of forecourt operations. We don’t just provide software—we offer a full-service solution. Our in-house fuel station technician, with over 12 years of industry experience, ensures seamless installation, automated monitoring, maintenance, and optimization of fuel dispensing systems. This allows us to support oil companies beyond software, providing comprehensive service to keep operations running efficiently.

Alien Automation Technologies has a proven track record of driving innovation in traditionally stagnant industries, ensuring businesses stay ahead with reliable, future-ready solutions. As we continue to expand across Southern Africa and the broader African market, we remain committed to delivering the best in technology, service, and support to our supported industries.
