Digital Forecourt Platform

An operational control platform for fuel stations, depots and multi-site forecourt businesses.

Solutions Digital Forecourt PlatformConcept

A planned Microsoft-powered platform for fuel inventory, pump sales, shift control, cash management, reconciliation, reporting and enterprise integration.

The challenge

Why this solution matters

Fuel stations, depots and multi-site operators can struggle to maintain accurate operational control when tank inventory, pump sales, shifts, cash, reconciliation and enterprise reporting are managed through separate or largely manual processes.

Platform capability

Core solution capabilities

Each capability is designed around the operational requirement, governance model and long-term ownership of the solution.

Capability 01

Fuel inventory and tank management

Track fuel inventory, tank balances, receipts and operational stock movements through structured station workflows.

Capability 02

Pump sales and shift operations

Capture pump sales and shift activity with clear responsibility for opening, operating and closing each shift.

Capability 03

Cash management and reconciliation

Record cash movements and support controlled reconciliation between sales, collections and expected operational values.

Capability 04

Multi-station operational visibility

Provide consolidated operational visibility across multiple stations while retaining appropriate site-level responsibility.

Capability 05

Offline-capable operational workflows

Support operational continuity where connectivity is limited through workflows designed for eventual synchronisation.

Capability 06

ERP and analytics integration

Integrate forecourt operational data with ERP, reporting and analytics platforms without making the ERP the real-time operational system.

Operating model

How the solution is structured to operate

The solution is organised around clear responsibilities, controlled workflows and sustainable operational ownership.

  1. Configure stations, tanks, pumps, products, users and operational responsibilities

  2. Capture fuel receipts, inventory movements, pump sales and shift activity at station level

  3. Reconcile operational, cash and stock information through controlled daily processes

  4. Consolidate multi-station information for management oversight, exceptions and approvals

  5. Integrate validated operational information with ERP and analytics platforms where required
