Fuel & OMC · depot to forecourt

Turn litres
into kwacha.

Wholesale lifting and forecourt retail on one set of books — tank dips, shift reconciliation and wet-stock margin, per product, straight from the general ledger. The quiet leaks are what decide whether a station makes money.

Fuel & OMC — the same spine, depot to forecourt.

Downstream fuel is not a second system bolted on beside power. It is a full vertical inside Novea — wholesale and forecourt retail sharing the same customers, ledger, controls and cash. Whether you sell electrons or litres, the hard part is identical: getting paid, and knowing your margin to the tambala.

Wholesale & bulk sales

Bulk lifting to resellers, mines and fleets — contract pricing, delivery notes and credit terms, invoiced against the same accounts as everything else.

DEPOT · BULK

Forecourt retail

Pump sales, cashiers and shifts at the station — card, cash and mobile money, drawn against the same customer base and books as the wholesale side.

STATION · SHIFTS

Tank & stock control

Dip readings, deliveries and every movement, so book stock and physical stock are reconciled per tank — not guessed at the end of the month.

DIPS · MOVEMENTS

Shift reconciliation

Pump meters against cash, card and mobile money, every shift — so a short till is caught the same day, not written off a quarter later.

METER = TILL

Stock-loss & shrinkage

Evaporation, temperature variance and theft surfaced as recorded loss events against the tank — the quiet leak that decides whether a station makes money.

VARIANCE · FLAGGED

Wet-stock margin

Landed cost to pump price, per product, straight from the general ledger — the number that actually tells you whether the litres are worth selling.

BUY → PUMP

Regulatory & ERB

OMC licences, marketing bonds, statutory returns and permits tracked as live compliance work — not a drawer of certificates nobody has checked the dates on.

LICENCES · BONDS

One ledger, both fuels

Fuel P&L and electricity P&L in the same append-only, double-entry books — so the group accounts are one balanced truth, not two systems argued over at year-end.

SAME SPINE
The other vertical

Electricity — meter to mobile money

Prepaid vending, tariffs as configuration, USSD and load-shedding, feeding the same append-only ledger the fuel side posts to. One spine, both businesses.

The commercial engine for the energy that powers a continent.

From a single prepaid meter in a Lusaka compound to a cross-border wheeling settlement — one platform, one ledger, one source of truth.
