About

Innovative Retail Technology

Since 1982, Auto-Star has been creating innovative retail technology solutions designed to help businesses operate more efficiently and grow with confidence. What began as a local automotive dealership that sought to solve their inventory management system problems, has evolved into a leading provider of retail POS technology for the grocery, pharmacy, and natural health industries across North America and the Caribbean.

Dedicated Support and Industry Experience

At Auto-Star, we believe technology should support the people behind the business. Our experienced team is committed to helping retailers succeed with end-to-end software solutions, responsive service, and long-term partnership. With more than 145 years of combined experience, our technicians are leaders in their field and are available 24/7 for emergency support to help keep businesses running smoothly.

Supporting Alberta Talent and Local Innovation

Our development and support teams are based in-house at our Medicine Hat office, allowing us to create quality technology careers in Alberta while giving customers knowledgeable, responsive support from people who understand retail operations.

Introducing ClearTEQ: POS & Payments for Small Business

Innovation continues to drive everything we do. Our newest product, ClearTEQ, is a cloud-based POS solution built specifically with small businesses in mind. Designed to be flexible, modern, and easy to use, ClearTEQ helps independent retailers simplify operations while staying competitive in an evolving retail landscape.

To provide a complete commerce solution, ClearTEQ offers integrated payment processing through ClearTEQ Merchant Services. Businesses can benefit from fast, secure, and affordable credit card processing that works seamlessly with ClearTEQ POS and Star-Plus to streamline transactions and simplify daily operations.

ClearTEQ Merchant Services: Built for Professional Services

Not a retail store? You can still access secure, affordable, and reliable payment technology. ClearTEQ Merchant Services is available as a standalone payment processing solution designed specifically for professional service firms, including law offices, accounting practices, and local clinics.

If your business does not require inventory management or a full POS system, you can still leverage our competitive processing rates to immediately reduce your overhead costs. Best of all, you get the peace of mind that comes with 24/7 emergency support from our local team right here in Medicine Hat.

Committed to Community

Beyond technology, Auto-Star is proud to support the communities we serve through sponsorships, volunteer initiatives, and local partnerships. We believe strong businesses help build strong communities, and we are committed to making a positive impact both inside and outside the workplace.
