Delivery ERP for bottles, tankers, cylinders, crates, and cartons

Mashqi runs any business that loads a vehicle in the morning, sells down a route, and comes back with cash and returnables. Bottles, tankers, cylinders, crates, and cartons all run on the same engine.

Industries we serve

One route engine, many kinds of load

Load the vehicle, run the route, collect cash, and track what must come back empty. One delivery, returnables, and cash-collection engine for water bottles, tankers, LPG cylinders, dairy crates, FMCG van sales, and cooler rentals.

What every industry gets

The engine underneath is the same, whatever your vehicle is carrying.

Returnables tracking

Empty bottles, gas cylinders, milk crates, or pallets - Mashqi keeps a per-customer balance of what is still out there.

Cash on delivery

Collect at the door, post it against the customer ledger, and close the rider's day-book with numbers that tie out.

Routes and live tracking

Zone-wise routes, a rider app for the field, and a live map so dispatch never has to phone the driver.

Stock from plant to vehicle

Production or purchase in, vehicle load out, and a stock check before anything is sold.

Read the detail for your industry

Each guide covers the workflow, the returnables model, and the reports for that vertical.
