Convenience Store Automation Is Easy and Effective with Petrosoft’s C-Store Office®

Managing a convenience store can be time consuming and, whether or not you manage one or multiple locations, having a appropriate system in place intended specifically for convenience store automation is imperative for running an efficient operation and for growing profits in the current sluggish economy.  With Petrosoft’s C-Store Office®, you can automate your back office processes swiftly across many stores or a single store, while cutting costs, reducing manual time expense and improving profitability.

In the “good old days,” convenience stores carried a few hundred items, there were no lotteries and gas prices were somewhat stable.  Now, an average C-store may stock over 4000 items, prices change daily; there are state and intrastate “Powerball” games with varying payout dates and rules; and fuel prices yo-yo like the stock market.  With C-Store Office®, convenience store automation is easy.  The inventory management part of the program allows you to have access to item level data.  Ordering can be done automatically, saving your managers’ time, allowing for   bottom line optimization.  By item level, separately for each store, or throughout all locations, adjustments can be made to account for differences in each location’s demand.  By basing ordering off actual inventory levels rather than guesstimates of enterprise level buying, we have seen our customers routinely slash inventory levels by as much as 20% to 30%.  Multiplying the savings in more than one locations will free up a substantial sum in the budget to invest in your business, but C-Store Office® is designed to optimize a one-store business just as well as a chain. One store can achieve monthly revenue increases of thousands of dollars through efficient ordering and inventory management alone.  Many of our users also love the price book feature - see here our customer testimonial - http://www.cstoreoffice.com/testimonial/amber-rench-price-book-manager-augusta-ga/ - which automatically catches price changes and allows for a manager's approval before registers are updated. Tools embedded in the software make it easy to run price promotions over multiple stores, whether they are geographically far apart or just minutes from each other. Furthermore, C-Store Office® provides access to over 200 reports, updated every shift, on inventory, pricing, employee hours, expenses, and financials so you know daily what’s going on with each location.  With access to up-to-date data for every shift, it is easy to catch and correct problems quickly before they spread throughout your operation.  Here is how the owner of the North Carolina C-store chain, Handy Mart, slashed costs and increased profitability with C-Store Office® - http://www.cstoreoffice.com/company-info/case-histories-c-store-office-helps-customers-achieve-goals/

Convenience Store Automation is available at your fingertips with C-Store Office®.   Because this internet-based system utilizes cloud computing, you can access your reports on your personal computer, smart phone or tablet. You’ll find that you don't have to spend all day running non-stop from office to office. Manage your store/s from home…or on the beach or a golf course!

Enterprise level convenience store automation does not have to be expensive or require hiring a crew of IT staff to manage your store system. With C-Store Office®, you don't need to spend thousands of dollars on extra equipment or software licenses multiplied by many locations. All that is required is a monthly subscription; no license, or sign up fees are needed. Installation takes as little as two hours and personnel is trained online so they can be up to speed quickly without pulling them away from the stores for hours with classes. Software Updates are done automatically. Here is what one of our users has to say about how easy it is to get started: http://www.cstoreoffice.com/testimonial/tom-cook-business-owner-ozark-mo/
