In and out, one place
Empties returned and fulls delivered are recorded together, so they cannot drift apart.
Empty bottle return tracking software
Empty bottle returns are recorded as an exchange, not two entries. Empties in and full out sit on one record attached to that customer.
Your bottles walk away slowly
Nobody loses a whole rack in one day. It goes two here, three there, until the yard is short and no one knows whose door they are behind.
01
Counted in two places
Bottles out are noted on one page and bottles back on another, so the two never quite meet.
02
No name on the empties
The yard knows the stock is short but cannot say which customer is holding the shortfall.
03
Found at stock time
The loss shows up when you count the racks, weeks after the bottles actually went missing.
One exchange, one entry
Full ones go in
The rider records what was delivered to the customer as part of the same stop.
Empties come back
What the customer returns is recorded against the same customer, in the same exchange.
The count follows home
The household bottle position moves with the exchange, so the yard total is not a separate guess.
Why the exchange stays one record
Attached to the customer
Returnable bottles belong to a customer record, not to a loose tally on a wall.
Visible before stock day
A household holding more than usual can be seen without waiting for a full count.
Part of the same stop
The rider does not make a second entry. The exchange rides along with the delivery.
Readable at the door
When a customer disputes the empties, you can open what was exchanged and when.
Returnable bottles and empties
What if a customer returns fewer empties than the fulls delivered?+
The exchange records what actually came back, so the difference stays with that customer instead of quietly becoming a yard shortage nobody can trace.
Does the rider need to enter the exchange separately?+
No. The exchange belongs to the same delivery record, so what went in and what came back are captured in one go at the gate.
Can I see how many bottles each customer is holding?+
Yes. Because the exchange is attached to the customer, the bottles a household is holding are read from their own record rather than from a wall tally.
Works with these features
Know which door your empties are behind
Record the exchange at the gate and let the bottle count sit with the customer who is holding them.
