DALLAS — Convenience retailer Alon Brands has certified Comdata’s Smart Solutions POS system as a preferred solution for locations with a high volume of over-the-road transactions.

Comdata’s Smart Solutions suite of POS devices offer flexible, convenient payment options for store operators, according to the company. The robust PCI PA-DSS-compliant system consolidates transactions from the fuel desk and other profit centers into one convenient system, streamlining the payment process at both the fuel desk and at the pump. Alon joins Sinclair Oil and Cenex as a certified Comdata provider.

“This certification now allows Comdata’s Smart Solutions POS system to be brand certified with three brands across America, increasing our footprint of service and value for truck stop and c-store owners across the nation,” said Greg Secord, president of North American Trucking at Comdata.

With pump controls at the fuel desk and pay-at-the-pump options for drivers, the Smart Solutions technology reduces the amount of time drivers spend completing fuel and retail purchases. Its intuitive platform decreases cashier training time and simplifies back-end reporting, making it easier for store owners to integrate the system into daily operations.

“Alon Brands is always looking for ways to improve operational efficiency and enhance the customer experience with technology,” said Amir Wurzel, vice president and chief information officer of Alon Brands. “We’re excited for this new relationship with Comdata, which will help us to provide best-in-class POS solutions to our distributors.”

Based in Dallas, Alon Brands markets Alon motor fuel products at more than 800 locations.
