As a convenience store or gas station owner-operator, you know that a lot can happen in a single shift. A promotion could be flying off the shelves, a cashier could be hitting “void” a few too many times, or a fuel competitor down the street could drop their prices.
If you are still waiting for the end of the day—or worse, the end of the week—to look at your numbers, you are driving your business using the rearview mirror.
That is why Petrosoft just unlocked a massive upgrade for your operations. The Retail360 mobile app now delivers LIVE sales data right to the palm of your hand when connected to your CStoreOffice back-office system.
What Does “Live” Actually Mean for Your Bottom Line?
Previously, back-office data relied heavily on shift closeouts and daily polling. Now, the synergy between CStoreOffice and Retail360 brings the actual pulse of your cash register directly to your phone.
This update gives you a massive advantage in three critical areas:
- Instant Shrink & Loss Prevention: See transaction flows as they happen. If you have a Loss Prevention Analytics (LPA) subscription, you can track live voids, refunds, or no-sales instantly. You can catch drawer shorts during the shift—not 30 days later when the trail is cold.
- Agile Fuel Pool Margin Control: Fuel margins fluctuate constantly. With live data feeding into your dashboard, you can see exactly how much fuel you’ve sold today and your current pool margin. If a competitor drops their price, you can push a real-time fuel price change directly to your sign and POS right from the app.
- Intraday Performance Tracking: Want to know if your morning coffee and donut promo actually converted? You no longer have to ask the manager to run a manual report on the register. Just open the app, look at your Store Sales widget, and filter by department to see live performance.
The CStoreOffice + Retail360 Advantage: CStoreOffice keeps your inventory on auto-pilot and automates your price book. By pairing it with the free Retail360 app, you get full visibility into your numbers whether you are walking the floor of Store #1, sitting at home, or scouting a new location.
How to Get Started
If you are already a Petrosoft customer using CStoreOffice, the Retail360 app is completely free to download on iOS and Android.
Make sure your app is updated to the latest version. Once connected, customize your mobile dashboard to put the Store Sales, Fuel Sales, and LPA Sales widgets right at the top.
