Empty bottle and deposit tracking that actually balances
Know exactly how many bottles each customer holds, how many came back, and how much deposit money is on the line.
Per-customer empties
Live count of bottles each customer is holding right now.
Deposit ledger
Deposit money tracked alongside the physical bottle balance.
Returns at the door
Empties returned are captured on the rider's app at each stop.
Every bottle is an asset — track it like one
A water business can have thousands of rupees tied up in 19L bottles in the field. Mashqi keeps a running per-customer count of bottles out versus empties returned so your bottle assets are always accounted for.
Deposits that reconcile
When a customer pays a bottle deposit, that money is a liability you must return. Mashqi tracks deposit balances next to the physical bottle count so the two always reconcile.
If a customer holds four bottles, the deposit on your books should cover four bottles. When the physical count and the deposit drift apart, you see it immediately and can fix it — instead of discovering a gap when you count stock at year-end.
Captured at the doorstep
Empties returned are recorded by the rider at each stop, so the bottle balance updates in real time instead of being guessed at month-end.
Because the count is taken at the moment of exchange, it reflects reality rather than a tally reconstructed from memory days later. A weekly empties-outstanding report then tells you exactly which customers to follow up with.
