रजिस्टर, Excel, ऐप या बड़ा सॉफ़्टवेयर: किसमें क्या है।
Four ways to keep a petrol pump's daily hisab. Each is right for someone. Here is what each does well, where it falls short, and what it costs, including the limits of our own app.
| Paper register | Excel sheet | Fuel Pump Book | Desktop / cloud ERP | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Opening readings carried over | No | Partly, by hand or depends on product | Yes | Yes |
| Fuel Sold and Expected Amount calculated | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Test litres removed automatically | No | Partly, by hand or depends on product | Yes | Yes |
| Rate change split inside the shift | No | Partly, by hand or depends on product | Yes | Partly, by hand or depends on product |
| Staff enter UPI and credit from the forecourt | No | No | Yes | Partly, by hand or depends on product |
| Difference per nozzle and per operator | Partly, by hand or depends on product | Partly, by hand or depends on product | Yes | Yes |
| Pending dues ledger with WhatsApp reminders | No | No | Yes | Partly, by hand or depends on product |
| Shift report PDF | No | Partly, by hand or depends on product | Yes | Yes |
| Works on any phone, no PC | Yes | No | Yes | Partly, by hand or depends on product |
| Works without internet | Yes | Yes | No | Partly, by hand or depends on product |
| GST invoices, Tally export | No | No | No | Yes |
| Tank stock from dip readings | Partly, by hand or depends on product | Partly, by hand or depends on product | No | Yes |
| Setup time | None | An afternoon | About 10 minutes | Days, with the vendor |
| Cost | Rs.0 | Rs.0 | ₹150 / nozzle / month | ₹500 / month to lakhs, plus AMC |
means partly: possible by hand, or depends on the product. ERP features and prices vary a lot by vendor; see the software guide for ten named products.
Not for everything. Paper needs no internet, no phone and no fee. It is worse at the arithmetic: carrying readings over, subtracting tests, splitting a rate change and finding which nozzle is short. Those are where the money leaks.
Yes, if you close one or two dispensers yourself every day. Our DSR format guide gives the columns and formulas. Excel cannot take entries from staff on the forecourt during the shift, and copying readings by hand is where digit errors happen.
When GST invoices, Tally export or dip-based tank stock are the main job, or when a PC at the pump with a local vendor is what you want. Fuel Pump Book is the shift hisab on a phone; it does not do those.
Yes, that is how most owners start. Run both for the 15 free days and see whether the app's Difference matches your register. Then decide.
