Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a sales management device for a gas station, which is used at a gas station with a convenience store.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, an increasing number of gas stations have added convenience stores to diversify their management. By the way, since the conventional sales management device for a gas station is mainly intended for control of the measuring machine and management of the refueling data supplied by the measuring machine, it can be used for sales management at a newly installed convenience store. Cannot be used, and a sales management device for convenience stores is installed separately. Therefore, although the management is the same, unified management of product sales cannot be performed, and two sales management devices are installed, resulting in high investment costs. In addition, communication to the computers at each center was not possible, and communication costs were high.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The object of the present invention is to eliminate the inconveniences of the conventional example described above, to enable centralized management of merchandise sales at a gas station with a convenience store, reduce investment costs, and directly communicate with computers at each center. Therefore, it is to provide a sales management device for a gas station that can reduce the communication cost.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, a sales management device for a gas station according to the present invention is connected to a plurality of weighing machines and controls the sale of goods from each weighing machine and the sale of goods from an input device. A function, a function of classifying the product sales data, and a function of transmitting the classified product sales data to the classified host computers. As described above, since the sales of products from the weighing machine and the sales of products from the input device can be controlled with a single sales management device, the sales can be centrally managed at a gas station with a convenience store, and the investment cost can be reduced. In addition, since the product sales data is classified and transmitted by classification, communication to the computer at each center can be performed directly, and communication costs can be reduced.
