My Lucky Meter

My Lucky Meter is petrol bunk accounting software for the Indian market, published with three distinct login types: dealer, manager and credit customer.

Those three roles describe how a petrol station actually operates and why generic accounting software fits it badly. The dealer owns the site and needs to know what it earned and whether the numbers are honest. The manager runs daily operations, records meter readings, manages shifts and handles cash. The credit customer is the distinguishing party, and the reason this trade needs its own software.

Fuel retail in India runs substantially on credit. Transport operators, businesses with vehicle fleets and local institutions fuel on account and settle periodically, which means the station is effectively extending working capital to its customers. Tracking who owes what, against which vehicles, at which agreed rate, and chasing settlement is the administrative core of the business, and getting it wrong destroys the margin that fuel retail barely has to begin with.

Giving credit customers their own login is the notable design choice. A customer who can see their own consumption and outstanding balance disputes fewer invoices and settles faster, which is a collections improvement rather than a service feature.

Meter readings underpin everything, since fuel stock reconciliation works from meter movement against deliveries and dips, and discrepancies indicate either measurement error or loss.

Pricing is published with figures of $29, $49 and $69, including unlimited updates, free hosting and domain, 24/7 support and unique user allowances. Free hosting and domain bundled at these prices suits small operators with no separate web presence.
