Computer system of control and account

The Computer control system provides control over the filling stations equipment, gas-filling stations and gas-filling compressor stations for retail sale of petroleum products, liquefied and compressed gas, record of delivered petroleum products, account of sales of related products and services provided

The system has a wide spectrum of service functions:

• Management and control of petroleum products
• Compilation of accounting documents
• Automatic printing of receipts and fiscal reports

For the normal functioning of the system it is necessary to have:

• Personal computer with a class no lower than Intel Atom 1,8GHz and RAM at least 2 Gb
• PTS controller

On the customer request it is possible to connect a system for measuring the level in reservoirsVEEDER ROOT, STRUNA, Start Italiana, etc.), a system of cashless payments on the basis of smart-card systems and other terminal equipment of filling stations.

SUPPORTED COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS

---

Fuel dispensers communication protocols

Baud rate is configured for pump channel in PTS controller independently on the used communication protocol.

Some dispensers may demand using interface converter boards to RS-485 interface (depends on electronics of used pumphead in dispenser).

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

OVERVIEW OF OPERATION IN NAFTAPOS SYSTEM

NaftaPOS system provides a convenient user interface, which can be adjusted to fit your needs and preferences. Windows of pumps, products sales, tanks can be dragged to any place on the main panel and fixed, their scale can be changed and colors can be adjusted.

General view of NaftaPOS software can be modified (click on images to enlarge)

In addition NaftaPOS software supports skins, which completely change the user interface and are made to made the system suit to customers tastes:

Any of more than 40 skins can be set in NaftaPOS software (click on images to enlarge)

Well-thought interface of windows for operation with pumps, tanks, sales of products brings convenience during system exploitation on petrol station:

Windows in NaftaPOS software can change their position, properties and be placed anywhere in NaftaPOS desktop (click on images to enlarge)

Configuration of NaftaPOS software allows precise adjustment of petrol station equipment to system, selection of the way of operation, adjustment of GUI:

MODES OF NAFTAPOS SYSTEM OPERATION

Taking into account that in different countries there are different particularities of petrol stations operation like:

• the way the customers are serviced (order amd payment is given at pump or to cashier in petrol station office)
• the way how the management of petrol station is done (operation of cashiers in working shifts or without)
• the way how sales and remains of fuel are calculated (using automatic tanks gauge system, pump total counters, inventory reconcilation)

NaftaPOS software is designed to make it possible to flexibly configure and adjust a required way of operation and allow customers to make it work as their local rules demand.

One of the commonly used methods of NaftaPOS operation is when control over fuel dispensers is made by fuel attendants, who service customers. Fuel attendants operate dispensers and receive payment from customers. Fuel attendants control the fuel dispensers as if those worked in a standalone mode (administering starts automatically when the dispensing nozzle is lifted and trigger is pressed). In this mode it is possible to make fuel order preset (in volume or in money amount) from the dispenser preset keyboard. At this moment NaftaPOS software monitors all the transactions being performed and writes all the information to its database. Also cashier at any time can see activity of every fuel dispenser and in case of necessity can stop any of them and receive reports on operation remotely from NaftaPOS software. Receipts can be optionally printed after each dispensing.

Also in this mode third-party applications are able to use NaftaPOS software database as a storage of all transactions and sales performed (locally or remotely) – then this third party software can find total data on all sales and transactions from NaftaPOS database. NaftaPOS can be set to work without any working shifts and automatically start at launching PC so that it was possible to start operation with dispensers:

Another popular way of NaftaPOS operation is when control over fuel dispensers is made by the cashier, who logs in NaftaPOS under a working shift (using his personal login and password) and is responsible for all sales performed at petrol station. Money are to be directly paid to the cashier, each customer after the sales performed receives a receipt:

WEB REPORTING SYSTEM AND ONLINE MONITORING

NaftaPOS system has a web-portal to provide:

• formation of reports on operation of petrol stations in various views for analytics and statistics of petrol stations activity to provide decisions for optimization of petrol stations operation;
• online monitoring of each petrol station activity (fuel dispensers operation, remains and parameters of fuel in tanks, current working shift operations) to provide control over personnel at petrol station and security;

NaftaCards fuel cards system

NaftaCards fuel cards system for petrol stations – hardware and software complex, appointed for provision and account of fuel sales at petrol station networks using fuel cards with fuel volume, money and discount wallets or their mixtures.

The system allows to replace usage of cash and coupons to more reliable and convenient settlements using fuel and money cards. Card of the NaftaCards system can be used for filling with petrol at petrol station and reception of a discount.

The system allows to issue fuel and discount cards for customers and also to lead management over cards and account of all sales using these cards with management over accounts of customers and possibility to set flexible system of discounts.
