n7kel Fuel Station Control — operations control and anti-fraud for a station network
A platform for the central office and security department of a fuel station network: cash transactions from all stations in a single log, reconciliation with receipts, digital evidence, notifications and reports. Designed for networks of hundreds of stations and already used in projects for fuel networks.

Challenges
What the platform addresses
Lack of proof
When a shortfall is discovered at cash collection, it is hard to establish who caused it and when. The platform records every transaction and protects the record against editing.
Late detection
A violation becomes known days later, at shift reconciliation. The platform reports suspicious transactions immediately.
Blind spots
A faulty camera or POS terminal can go unnoticed for days. The platform shows the status of station equipment.
Ready-made projects
More than a product: ready-made projects for fuel station networks
n7kel has ready-made projects for fuel station networks: n7kel Fuel Station Control and n7kel Vakhta are built for the needs of fuel networks, and projects based on them are already under way. We do not disclose client names.
We deliver turnkey projects of any complexity — from a single station to a network of hundreds of fuel stations with a central office, video analytics, speech analytics and access control.
- n7kel’s own AI — no dependence on foreign neural networks or foreign cloud AI services;
- everything runs on the client’s equipment: no foreign cloud AI services, external APIs or subscriptions are used;
- data is not transferred abroad and is not shared with third parties, except where expressly provided for by the agreement and the law;
- no lock-in to a single manufacturer of cameras or POS equipment;
- integration with any POS, fiscal and accounting systems in the network.
Monitoring
Real-time network dashboard
Sales and transactions by hour, station statuses, a feed of suspicious transactions and notifications. Data updates in real time, without reloading the page.
The cash transaction log — sales, refunds, till openings, operation without an operator — with filters and a card for every transaction.
Digital evidence
Every transaction in a hash chain
Every transaction is recorded in a SHA-256 hash chain. A change to transaction data, a forged record or a break in the chain is detected by verification.
The integrity of any record is checked with one click from the transaction card. Access to verification is granted to the security department and the administrator.
Reconciliation
Reconciling POS receipts with registered transactions
The platform matches receipts from the POS and fiscal system with registered operations and assigns each pair to one of the categories:
- match;
- receipt without operation;
- duplicate;
- amount mismatch — with the difference shown.
Modules
Other capabilities
Events and notifications
An event log by category, severity levels, acknowledgment of receipt. Delivery by e-mail, Telegram and SMS; the status of each delivery is verifiable: delivered, failed or channel not configured.
Cashier kiosk
Shift login with an employee code and PIN, opening and closing shifts, linking till transactions to the cashier who logged in. The architecture provides for face login, which is used only with the cashier’s written consent.
Equipment telemetry
The status of cameras, POS terminals and station devices in a single list.
Reports
Daily and monthly reports in Excel and PDF: summary, breakdowns by station and cashier, list of violations.
Speech analytics — n7kel Voice
Service script compliance, forbidden phrases, conflicts and add-on offers — in Russian, Kazakh and any other language. Only with employees and customers notified.
Video analytics at the checkout
Events from cameras above the tills — drawer opening, handover of goods, payment — are matched against till transactions. Built on n7kel AI and n7kel Vakhta.
Together with other n7kel products
- n7kel Vakhta: video analytics events from a station go to the network log and are matched against transactions and shifts;
- n7kel Voice: speech analytics is available — service script, forbidden phrases, conflicts in Russian, Kazakh and any other language; the price depends on the number of languages;
- n7kel Antifraud: fraud schemes at the checkouts of station convenience stores — unscanned items, refunds without a customer, someone else’s login;
- n7kel Atlas: investigation of recurring schemes across the whole network — cases, links and distribution of checks between regions and shifts.
Roles
Who sees what
Permissions are enforced on the server, not only in the interface.
| Role | Access |
|---|---|
| Administrator | All sections, registration of devices and kiosks |
| Security department | Evidence and its verification, reports, all data |
| Station manager | Data and reports |
| Dispatcher | Monitoring; no reports or evidence verification |
Station connection to the central office
- if the connection to the central office is lost, the cashier screen shows offline mode and a connection indicator;
- the central office sees which tills are offline and can lock a till remotely;
- a full transaction buffer at the station, with resending once the connection is restored, is part of the native till client; its timing is determined after the site survey.
Users
Who in the network needs the platform
Security department
Suspicious transactions and reconciliation discrepancies immediately, evidence with an integrity check, history by cashier and station.
Operations director
A picture of the network: sales, transactions, violations by station and shift, daily and monthly reports.
Station manager
Data and reports for their own station, cashier shift login via the kiosk, equipment status.
Dispatcher
Real-time monitoring of stations and notifications, without access to reports or evidence verification.
What is needed to connect a station
- transaction data from the station’s POS and fiscal system — via API or as an export;
- a communication link between the station and the central office; operation during a prolonged loss of connection is agreed during the site survey;
- the POS computer or a separate device for the cashier kiosk;
- notification recipients and severity thresholds for each channel: e-mail, Telegram, SMS;
- staff in the security department responsible for reviewing notifications.
n7kel Fuel Station Control and n7kel Vakhta
The platforms address different tasks. n7kel Fuel Station Control works at the network level: transactions, reconciliation, evidence, notifications and reports for the central office. n7kel Vakhta works at the station level: what the camera above the till and on the forecourt sees, reconciliation of cashier actions with till transactions, safety. n7kel AI is trained and tested on ordinary 2D images, so the cameras you already have are suitable. 3D cameras are supported too, if they are already on site or the task requires them.
The delivery scope for a specific network — one platform, both, or both together with n7kel Voice, n7kel Antifraud and n7kel Atlas — is determined during the site survey.
Getting started
How we begin
Demonstration
We show the platform in a demo environment with a stream of simulated transactions.
Site survey
We study the stations’ POS and fiscal systems, network, cameras and the security department’s requirements.
Pilot
We connect 1–2 stations, configure reconciliation and notification channels, and agree on evaluation criteria.
Deployment
We connect the network’s stations, configure roles and reports, and train staff.
Questions
Where is the platform hosted?
On the client’s servers or in a data center of the client’s choice. The hosting scheme and personal data legislation requirements are addressed during the site survey.
How do we know a notification was actually delivered?
For every notification and every channel, the platform stores the delivery status: delivered, failed or channel not configured, with the number of attempts. A notification is never shown as sent when it was not.
Can we prove that a transaction record has not been altered?
Yes. Every transaction is included in a SHA-256 hash chain. A change to the data or deletion of a record is detected by the integrity check, which is run from the transaction card.
Is speech analytics available?
Yes, through n7kel Voice: in Russian, Kazakh and any other language; the price depends on the number of languages. Speech is recorded and analyzed only with employees and customers notified as required by the law of the country.
Does the platform depend on foreign services?
No. The platform and n7kel AI run on the client’s equipment; no foreign cloud AI services, external APIs or subscriptions are used, and no data is transferred abroad.
How does support work?
24/7 support: requests are accepted around the clock, seven days a week; response times by priority are set in the contract.
