One society per loop
A rider who leaves Model Town for Johar Town then DHA will spend more time in queues than at doors. Give Gulberg, DHA phases, Johar Town, Model Town, and Allama Iqbal Town their own zone and, when you can, their own day.
Gates are the hidden stop
Lahore societies add minutes you cannot see on a map. Proof of delivery on the phone (quantity, cash, empties) is how you still close the stop when the guard delayed you, and how the office answers 'did they come?' without calling the rider.
Summer is quantity, not a new route
Keep the same Tuesday customers. Raise bottles at the stop. Rebuilding the list every June is how Lahore depots lose empties and duplicate houses. Recurring schedules plus a quantity field is the whole trick.
Tankers for schemes, bottles for homes
If you also fill tankers for a society or factory, do not drop that trip onto the household rider's list. Separate zone, separate vehicle, same customer ledger so the scheme's credit is visible.
FAQ
- What is the best way to zone water delivery in Lahore?
- Zone by the clusters people already name (Gulberg, DHA, Johar Town, Model Town). Do not build one city-wide sequence that crosses Canal Road all day.
- How do I handle Lahore summer demand?
- Keep recurring days and change quantity on the rider app. Stock and the customer balance update from the same post.
