Owner Manager Cashier Shift employee Auditor

Before you start

  • Shift timings are configured.
  • Users and roles are assigned.
  • Nozzles, fuels, tanks, and payment setup are ready.
  • Staff know whether they are entering shift data from mobile or web.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. 1

    Check in and start the shift

    Use mobile when staff are at the pump. Use web when a manager is starting or reviewing the shift from the office.

  2. 2

    Track current shift activity

    Use mobile for quick live checks and web for detailed shift readings, daily operations, and reconciliation review.

  3. 3

    Enter readings and DSR data

    Enter readings and daily sales consistently so downstream daily operations, reports, stock review, and owner review remain reliable.

  4. 4

    Close the day from web

    Use web for final closing review because it is easier to compare sales, readings, cash, card, UPI, coupons, invoices, and exceptions.

  5. 5

    Review reports and create follow-up tasks

    Owners or managers should review daily operations and reports, then create tasks for unresolved exceptions.

Important fields

Best on mobile

Shift check-in, current shift review, and quick staff updates.

Best on web

Shift readings, daily operations review, DSR, closing, and reports.

Downstream records

Shift records, readings, DSR entries, daily operations, invoices, payments, stock context, and reports.

Owner review

Daily operations, DSR, shift readings, invoices, payments, outstanding, and exceptions.

Common mistakes

  • Checking in without verifying the selected shift.
  • Entering DSR or readings inconsistently across days.
  • Closing the day before reviewing coupons, invoices, and payment modes.
  • Not creating tasks for unresolved closing exceptions.

Troubleshooting

Current shift totals do not match expectations.

Check readings, DSR entries, payment modes, coupons, invoices, and selected date or shift filters.

A staff member cannot check in.

Confirm user status, shift timing, role permission, and mobile access.

Owner report differs from shift data.

Review whether the day has been fully entered and whether filters match the shift date.

Start the shift from mobile or web

Employees can use mobile shift check-in when they are at the pump. Managers can use the web dashboard when they need broader control or need to review shift setup before activity starts.

Track the current shift

Use mobile current shift for quick on-floor review. Use the web dashboard for detailed shift readings, daily operations, and reconciliation checks.

Enter daily sales and readings

DSR and readings should be entered consistently because they drive daily operations, stock review, reports, and owner summaries.

Close and review the day

Use the web dashboard for end-of-day closing because the larger review surface helps compare sales, readings, cash, card, UPI, coupons, invoices, and operational exceptions.

Owner checks reports

Owners should review dashboard totals, daily operations, DSR, shift readings, and reports after the shift is closed or when a manager has completed the daily review.
