Why Become an IFSF Member?

Membership that Delivers Real Value — For You and Your Customers

Technology is evolving fast — and so are your customers’ expectations. Whether you’re delivering fuel, powering EVs, enabling convenience services, or developing new platforms, IFSF membership helps you stay ahead by removing technical barriers, unlocking choice, and reducing operational costs.

By joining the International Forecourt Standards Forum (IFSF), you gain far more than access to standards — you gain a competitive edge

Benefits for Retailers

Cut Costs, Improve Flexibility, Futureproof Your Sites

Managing and upgrading forecourt technology doesn’t have to be complex or costly. IFSF standards make it possible to seamlessly integrate devices from different vendors, reducing installation time, maintenance costs, and long-term operational risks.

As a retailer, IFSF membership helps you:

  • Drive down total cost of ownership by enabling plug-and-play compatibility across POS systems, dispensers, EV chargers, payment terminals, and more.
  • Avoid vendor lock-in and choose the best-fit technologies for your evolving business model.
  • Respond faster to market change with flexible, scalable, and interoperable systems.
  • Improve uptime and service quality, enhancing the customer experience at every touchpoint.
  • Prepare for the future of mobility with early access to new standards and insight into emerging technologies.

Benefits for Suppliers

Accelerate Development, Increase Market Reach, Build with Confidence

For technology providers, IFSF membership streamlines product development and makes integration with global retailers faster and easier. You’ll spend less time building custom interfaces and more time innovating where it counts.

As a supplier or solution provider, IFSF membership helps you:

  • Reduce R&D time and cost by adopting proven, internationally recognised standards.
  • Accelerate time to market with implementation tools and technical support.
  • Strengthen your sales proposition with IFSF-compliant solutions that retailers trust.
  • Collaborate in working groups to shape standards that reflect your technology roadmap.
  • Gain visibility through joint marketing, events, and industry-wide partnerships.

Benefits for Your Customers

By using IFSF standards, your business becomes more responsive, resilient, and aligned with customer expectations:

  • Shorter queues, faster service through integrated payment and loyalty systems.
  • More choice of services, such as EV charging or digital receipts, without disruption.
  • Greater reliability and uptime due to interoperable and upgradable infrastructure.
  • Consistency across locations, even in multi-brand or cross-border retail networks.
