Fuel Retail
You Can See the Forecourt. Now You Can Control It.
Manako for Fuel Retail Operators
You are already collecting the data. Every forecourt, every pump, every entrance is covered by cameras. Yet drive-offs still occur. Safety violations escalate. Equipment downtime reduces throughput. Queues build while staff are tied up inside. Most stations lose between 0.5% and 1% of fuel sales to drive-offs alone, often exceeding $50,000 per year per site. Equipment downtime can cost another $20,000 annually. Safety incidents increase liability exposure and insurance pressure. These losses are visible. They are simply not acted on quickly enough. Manako turns your existing cameras into an automated response system. When a defined event occurs, the system detects it, confirms it, and executes action immediately. No new hardware. No additional monitoring staff. No disruption to operations.
This Is the Pressure You’re Managing Every Day
Your forecourt loses 15–25% of operational efficiency to issues that are visible but not acted on in time. A drive-off during a shift change. A customer smoking near a pump. An overfill that creates a slip hazard. A malfunctioning nozzle that reduces throughput for hours. A queue forming at peak time because no one steps outside soon enough. Individually, these events seem minor. Across a month, they compound. Staff cannot monitor every screen while also running the store. Managers discover losses after reconciliation, not during the incident. You already have the cameras. What you do not have is consistent, immediate response.
Turn What You See Into Operational Control
Manako converts your existing camera infrastructure into a live operational control layer. You define what matters and what should happen next. When those events occur, the system detects them, verifies them, and executes the predefined response automatically. Instead of relying on someone to notice a violation and intervene, the system handles the first response in seconds. Pumps can shut off automatically. Alerts can trigger instantly. Staff can be notified with context. Maintenance can be dispatched before downtime spreads. There is no new hardware required. There is no code to write. Deployment works on your existing camera network.
- No new hardware.
- No additional monitoring.
- No disruption to site operations.

The Manako
Approach
Smarter
Cameras shouldn’t just record. They should respond.
Manako transforms existing camera infrastructure into a live operational system. Instead of reviewing footage after an incident, Manako:
- 1.Detects an event the moment it occurs.
- 2.Understands what it means using computer vision.
- 3.Triggers a predefined action instantly.

After analysis, the system identified phone usage during active refueling. The pump was shut off immediately, an audio warning was issued, and staff were notified. Total time from detection to response: 3 seconds.'
See. Understand. Act. In Real Time.
From detection to response in about one second. No one watching screens. No manager reviewing footage. No delay while risk builds.

What Changes
Day to Day
Vision
Without Manako
- Drive-offs are discovered after the vehicle leaves.
- Staff react only after a customer complaint.
- Safety violations go unnoticed on the forecourt.
- Equipment faults reduce pump availability.
- Queues build before staff are dispatched.
With Manako
- Drive-offs are detected as they happen.
- Staff are notified the moment action is needed.
- Safety violations trigger immediate response.
- Equipment issues are identified early.
- Queues trigger staff dispatch automatically.
Why Not Just Use The Existing Tools?
Making cameras see, decide, and act in the physical world is expensive and difficult without engineering teams and ongoing maintenance. Here is how common approaches compare.
