See exactly how Petrosoft CStoreOffice eliminates Price Book errors, cuts Fuel Variance losses, and automates Electronic Invoice scanning—and calculate your exact savings in a live 30 min demo.
Running a C-Store or gas station often feels like you’re fighting three different battles every single day, and I know that is true because I talk to owner/operators all the time. One day it’s a constant struggle with pricing errors, the next it is trying to figure out where those little bits of fuel inventory went, and the day after that you’re just trying to get the books closed on time. The three core headaches that drain profit are the constant risk of manual Price Book Management, the silent loss from Fuel Management & Reconciliation, and the massive time sink of getting all those Electronic Invoices processed and into your profit and loss statement.
CStoreOffice stops the clock on these manual processes. Here is how you will find out the precise impact on your P&L.
Detailing the Pain: Why Change Now?
If you are using old systems or still doing too much of your work by hand, it is costing you more than just time. That effort translates directly into lost profit.
A. Price Book Inaccuracy
The pain point here is obvious: A single manual entry mistake when setting a new promotional price can erase the margin on a top selling item across all of your locations. Maybe you meant to put an item on sale for $1.99 but accidentally keyed in $0.99 for two days, and that meant a huge loss, and it creates inconsistent customer experience, which frustrates your employees too. NACS data shows that accurate pricing is critical for customer loyalty and, frankly, I don’t think any of us can afford to lose loyal customers right now.
B. Fuel Reconciliation & Shrinkage
Fuel variances, even tiny ones that look like only a couple gallons per tank, compound into thousands of dollars of lost inventory every single year. These losses are essentially silent theft, and instead of optimizing your delivery schedules and competitive pricing, you spend time manually chasing data and trying to find the source of the loss. Did you know the National Retail Federation (NRF) estimates that inventory shrinkage, which includes fuel loss, is a massive problem across the entire retail sector. It takes away from your profit.
C. Manual Invoice & Accounting Delays
Your staff spends hours scanning, filing, and manually approving vendor invoices, and then they have to key the data into your accounting software. The result is delayed vendor payments, and you miss out on those crucial early payment discounts that truly add up over a year, and your P&L reports are days or even weeks behind reality, which means you can’t make smart, timely business decisions.
I have a really great new grill and I’ve been cooking up a storm on the weekends. I think grilling is very relaxing. Anyway, back to the data.

FAQ: Questions from Owner Operators
