01 The cockpit
What needs attention today, and how the day is going, across outlets.
- Go to Reports & MIS → Cockpit and choose the Outlet (or all, consolidated) and the As of date.
- Today shows the day's sales, fuel litres, margin and net profit, each against the day before.Pick an earlier As of date to see how any past day went.
- Sales over time charts the days before it: switch between Sales, Litres, Margin and Collections, over 7d, 14d or 30d.It is drawn from the end-of-day record OCTYN takes every night.
- Needs attention lists every exception, worst first — a low OMC balance, low stock, calibration due, returns due, expiring stock, expiring licences.Choose one to open the screen where it is cleared.
- Where it stands is the position of the business: cash and bank, what customers owe you, what you owe, and stock value.A position, not a period — these do not reset overnight.
- What it was made of breaks the day down: counter takings, collections by mode, and the top Products or Attendants.
02 Trends
One number, day by day, for any period.
- Open Trends and choose the Metric — sales, fuel litres, fuel or non-fuel value, margin, margin per litre, net profit, cash and bank, receivables, payables, stock value or collections.
- Choose the Outlet and Period to see where it is heading.
- The headline is the last day recorded with the daily average; beside it, the Best day and Worst day.
- Day by day charts every business day; The figures lists the same days as a table to search and export.Receivables and payables start from the first nightly record; the others go back as far as your records.
03 The report library
Ready-made reports, each with its own filters and exports.
- Open Library.
- Sales by attendant — who is actually selling; Sales by shift — which part of the day earns its keep.
- Sales by product — what moves and what sits; Collections by mode — how much of the takings was real money.
- Price-revision P&L — what each pump-price change made or cost you on the stock you were already holding.
