Conexxus and the International Forecourt Standards Forum (IFSF) proudly announce the release of three new API Simulator Tools, marking an important milestone in the evolution of forecourt and convenience retail technology. These are the first OpenRetailing API-based tools of their kind and join a proven portfolio of non-API simulators that have supported IFSF members for many years.
The newly developed API Price Pole Simulator Tool and API Tank Gauge Simulator Tool are offered alongside the API Controlling Device Simulator Tool, enabling developers to test integrations at both ends of an API interface. Together, these tools enhance the ability of system providers and integrators to conduct robust, end-to-end validation of solutions built to OpenRetailing standards.
Linda Toth, Managing Director of Conexxus – “These tools mark a significant step forward in the practical implementation of OpenRetailing APIs. By giving developers a faster, more reliable way to validate interoperability, they strengthen the foundation for innovation across the industry.’”
Available for purchase by both Conexxus and IFSF members, the tools are designed to streamline the testing and deployment of API-based solutions. Their release represents a major step forward in the practical adoption of OpenRetailing standards, reinforcing the shared commitment of both organisations to deliver open, future-ready solutions for the global forecourt ecosystem.
Carl Jones, Chair of IFSF – “Through our continued collaboration with Conexxus, we’re providing members with powerful, accessible tools that will make OpenRetailing integration more efficient and reliable. This is an important step towards helping our industry fully embrace the API-driven future.’”
More simulator tools supporting additional site functions are already in development and will be announced in due course.
