WHAT DOES J-BOX DO?
Fuel Inventory Management
J-Box connects directly to the automatic tank gauge (ATG) to provide visibility into all of your tanks. Included are:
- ATG Meter Readings
- Inventory Drop Reports
- Water Height Monitors/Alerts
Remote Fuel Price Changes
From our J-Box reports customer portal, you will be able to remotely change fuel prices at all of your stores. With the click of a button on your computer or mobile phone, change prices for each fuel product.
- Change a single price or in bulk
- Can set to take effect at a chosen time or immediately
- Designate price tiers (cash vs. credit)
- J-Box will also provide pricing research and up-to-date
regional and competitor pricing to guide your decisions
Environmental Reports, Alarms, and Historical Data
All ATG polled reports are maintained and easily accessed in your dashboard (Ex: BIR Adjusted Delivery, CSLD Results, Sensor Alarm History, Leak Detection Reports).
**Automated Alerts - create custom email notifications for any alarm/warning codes you may need from your stores' ATGs. Set for any frequency or testing threshold that makes sense for your business.
**Because the J-Box has an internal data roll-over card, the lack of internet will not stop you or the carrier from obtaining the data needed. This feature reduces the number of phone calls to the stores for stick readings – vastly minimizing the potential for runouts, over fills, and diversions.
Sales Data Capture
Transaction-level detail for all convenience store sales are automatically captured from the point-of-sale (POS) system, translated, and displayed in our business intelligence dashboards and analytics reports.
- C-store sales (food, bev, grocery items, tobacco, etc.)
- Fuel sales (by pump and fuel type)
- Breakdown by method of payment
- Loss prevention metrics
Rollover Communications - Spotty or unreliable store internet is not an issue as the J-Box comes with a data roll-over card installed internally, ensuring you always get the data you need.
Daily Close Automation
The J-Box will work with any brand of register, and it can automate your day close. Instead of uploading/printing from the back-office computer, the J-Box captures the paperwork you need and can automatically import it into your accounting system, eliminating the need for store personnel to send those documents to the home office.
Fuel Price Tracking
The J-Box capture and conversion process allows you to view the last time a new street price was processed, for any and all fuel products.
This report can be used to verify that a consigned store is changing the fuel prices in a timely manner.
An e-mail notification can be generated noting the timing differences between when the change directive was sent and the first transaction after the price was actually changed.
Using data already being captured by the J-Box, a report can be generated calculating the amount of money lost/gained based on the time delay (amount of price change X gallons sold during the approximate time frame).
Tobacco Rebates
The J-Box will automate the creation of internal reporting and send applicable data to tobacco rebate companies – maximizing the accuracy and value of the rebates that you should receive, at no extra cost.
***If you are paying a monthly fee for rebate processing providers, they could be benefiting from selling your data. Praxis Technologies will NEVER sell your data without your approval. Should you opt to do so, revenue will be shared with you.
The J-Box not only allows you to remove a monthly cost, but also add revenue – all working towards making the use of the J-Box a budget neutral decision.
Loss Prevention Metrics
"Void" and "No Sale" transactions rung together are usually a clear indicator of the cashier pocketing your cash. This information can be set to display on your dashboard and/or auto sent as a report in an email if preferred.
Store and Equipment Temperature Monitoring
Let’s face it, equipment fails. You don’t have to lose money on spoiled products or customer dissatisfaction resulting from cooler failure. Our sensors report at set intervals so you can enjoy the cost savings that result from knowing quickly and accurately if a hot case or cooler system is failing.
Monitor in store temperatures to maintain a comfortable environment for your customers and staff.
Free up deli personnel hours with automated temperature monitoring vs manual hourly logging. Compliance with local health board standards is automated.
