Shift & Nozzle Management

Petrol Pump Shift Management with Nozzle-Wise Accountability

Manage every employee's shift and assigned nozzle with complete accountability. Know exactly who handled which nozzle, during which shift, and how much was sold.

Petrol pump shift management in Sanchay: closed shift review with nozzle opening and closing meter readings and collections

Who had the nozzle when the cash was short?

At most pumps the shift register answers this question only after an argument. Readings are written by hand, nozzles change hands during the shift, and by the time the totals are added nobody is sure which attendant sold what.

Sanchay links every nozzle to one employee and one shift. Opening and closing meter readings are recorded nozzle-wise, sales are calculated automatically from those readings, and the shift is reconciled, closed and approved before the next one takes over.

Petrol pump shift management, nozzle by nozzle

Everything a manager needs to open, run and close a shift.

Shift-wise employee assignment

Decide which employees work in which shift, in advance or on the day.

Nozzle assignment by Manager

The manager allots each nozzle to one employee for the shift.

Opening and closing meter readings

Readings are recorded nozzle-wise at the start and end of the shift.

Employee shift handover

The outgoing employee hands over the nozzle with its reading to the next shift.

Automatic sales calculation

Litres and sale amount are calculated automatically from the readings entered.

Shift reconciliation

Sales are matched with the cash, UPI, card and credit collected in the shift.

Shift closing and approval

A shift is closed by the staff and approved by the person responsible.

Shift history

Every past shift stays on record with its employees, nozzles and sales.

How it works

Manager-controlled nozzle assignment

Give managers complete control over daily nozzle allocation.

  1. 1

    Manager assigns employee → nozzle → shift

    The allocation for the shift is made once, in the software.

  2. 2

    Employee opens the app

    The assigned nozzle is displayed automatically — there is nothing to choose.

  3. 3

    Work starts on that nozzle

    The employee can directly start work and record readings for the assigned nozzle.

  4. 4

    History stays linked

    Nozzle history remains linked to the employee and the shift.

Example

If the Manager has not assigned a nozzle, authorized employees can select an available nozzle themselves — and that choice is recorded too.

Why it matters

Clear accountability

Every nozzle has one name against it for every shift, so questions are answered from the record, not from memory.

Faster shift change

Handover readings, reconciliation and closing follow the same steps every time.

Sales you can trust

Sale quantity comes from meter readings, not from manual addition at the end of the day.

Questions about shift and nozzle management

You set up the shifts your pump actually runs, with their timings, and assign employees shift-wise. Each shift has its own readings, reconciliation, closing and approval.

Normally the manager assigns the nozzle and the employee simply sees it in the app. If the manager has not assigned one, authorized employees can select an available nozzle. Either way the nozzle is linked to that employee and shift.

A meter correction can be set to require approval. The change is recorded with the user, the old value, the new value, the reason and the time, so corrections never disappear silently.

Shift reopening can require approval from an authorised role. The reopening and every change made after it are recorded in the audit trail.
