Guides for fuel retail
Plain-language notes on running a station well: reconciliation, OMC accounts, credit, compliance. Written by the team that builds OCTYN, useful whether or not you use it.
Shift reconciliation at a fuel station The close-of-shift checklist: nozzle readings, litres to value, collections by payment mode, and how to find and attribute a variance the same day.Your OMC account balance, explained How the prepaid or payable ledger with your oil company works, why the balance moves when it does, and the threshold rule that keeps supply from stalling.Credit customers without bad debt Limits, credit slips at the nozzle, weekly ageing and monthly statements: the routine that keeps fleet and business credit from turning into losses.Running the lubricant and non-fuel counter Catalogue, GST-inclusive billing, buying by batch, stock-takes and supplier dues: how the shop beside the forecourt earns its margin instead of leaking it.Cash to bank, every day Why card and UPI settle late and short, how to match each day's collections to the bank statement, and the unmatched list that stops small gaps growing.The multi-station owner's weekly review Six numbers to look at across every outlet on Monday morning, what each one is telling you, and the twenty-minute routine that replaces the year-end surprise.Licences, calibration and the renewal calendar One register of every licence, certificate, calibration record and policy the station needs, with expiry dates and lead times, so renewals never rely on memory.Attendance, advances and payroll for shift staff Attendance by shift, advances and their recovery, shortages by written policy, and a monthly payroll run that ends with a payslip and no arguments.
