What is ThanSence?
ThanSence is a back office for UK retailers. You put in the day's figures, or upload the till report, and it keeps every day on record. From there it adds up your weeks, months and years, checks the till, tracks stock and orders, and shows what you made from each trading partner.
It started at a fuel station, so it understands forecourts properly: fuel grades, tank dips, fuel cards, lottery, PayPoint and the car wash. It works just as well for a convenience store, off licence, pharmacy, café or cash and carry. Each store picks its business type and only sees the sections it needs.

Everything runs on your own computer or server. Your sales data stays with you.
Who it's for
- Store owners who want the numbers without the spreadsheets.
- Managers who do the daily sheet and the orders.
- Staff who log shifts, faults and accidents.
- Multi-site owners who want to see every store side by side.
A real example: one fuel station, October 2026

Everything the back office needs.
These are the main parts. Each one opens from the menu, and anything a store doesn't use stays hidden.
-
Daily sales record
Fill in the day section by section, or upload the till report (Retail Controller and Evolution PDFs are read automatically). A calendar shows which days are done, sent in or still missing. Till over and short is worked out for you.
-
Weekly, monthly and yearly records
The saved days added up for any period, with sales by category, fuel, and how customers paid. Compare any two periods, like this month against last month to the same day.
-
Sales analytics
Best and worst sellers, lowest margins, busy days, payments and the till, targets and a staff league. Each page starts with plain-English points about what changed, worst first.
-
Orders and suppliers
Stock orders with full history. Suppliers can sign in to a dealer portal to confirm orders and send invoices. A.F. Blakemore (Spar) invoices import straight into stock from the PDF.
-
Planning and demand
Five forecasting models, tested against your own days, pick the most accurate. Suggested orders are rounded to pack sizes and become a draft order in one click.
-
Weather
Set the store's postcode and ThanSence learns how hot, cold and wet days move your takings, down to single categories like cold drinks or the car wash.
-
Price and margin
Margin on every product, with low-margin lines flagged so you can review the price or the pack.
-
Trading partners
Lottery, scratchcards, PayPoint and car wash tracked every day alongside the shop and fuel.
-
Customised dashboard
Each person picks which cards to show, in what order and what size. Day, week, month or year.
-
Wyse, the AI assistant
Ask questions about your own figures in plain words. Works offline, or connects to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and others.
-
The rest of the back office
Staff shifts and payslips, incidents and contractors, equipment checks, the accident book, tasks and approvals, team messages, docs and email.
Six screens. Your whole site.
One sheet a day. Everything else updates itself.
- 1Close the till
Someone closes the till and enters or uploads the sheet.
- 2Check it
ThanSence checks it against the card and cash totals and flags anything out.
- 3Commit the day
The manager commits the day.
- 4Everything updates
From that one sheet, every report, chart, forecast and target updates itself.
When stock runs low, the reorder list builds itself from how fast each product sells and what the next few days should look like. The supplier gets the order, replies through the dealer portal, and the invoice lands on the order.
Roles and access
- AdminsSee every store and sign off the important changes.
- ManagersRun their own store.
- UsersDo the daily jobs they're given access to.
- DealersSuppliers. They only see the orders sent to them.
Every important change, like daily figures, prices or pay, goes into a review list for the admin.
Connecting other tools
ThanSence has its own API and an MCP server, so Claude and other AI tools can read your figures and log incidents using a token you create in Settings. Email goes out through your own Gmail or Outlook account.
