System 3: ZAgent
Connect Once. Integrate Everywhere.
ZAgent is Athenium International’s proprietary System Integration Engine, built specifically to streamline and standardize communication across the Terminal Management Systems landscape.
Turnkey-ready to connect directly to the Fuel-FACS+ CBS Host Interface, ZAgent enables rapid, reliable integration with enterprise and field systems—without the complexity of custom engineering. It delivers consistent, high-quality integration that aligns with the operational realities of fuel terminal networks.
What ZAgent Does
ZAgent is a lightweight, domain-specific middleware layer that acts as a real-time translator between CBS and a wide range of external systems, including:
- ERP Systems: SAP, JD Edwards (JDE)
- Terminal Automation Platforms: Fuel-FACS+ and external systems
- Custom or legacy systems: via standardized XML, IDOC, or API-based communication
ZAgent removes the need for site-specific custom logic and delivers a modular, reusable integration layer—bringing speed, reliability, and consistency to terminal environments.
