Software for Packaged Drinking Water
High-volume bottling where jars circulate as returnable assets and testing records are a licence condition.
Water bottling runs on thin margins at high volume, with two things that decide whether it works: the jar fleet, which is a circulating asset most plants cannot count, and the testing regime, which is a condition of operating. Both are records problems before they are equipment problems.
What gets in the way
- Jars circulate through customers and the fleet shrinks without anyone measuring it
- Deposits are taken inconsistently and rarely reconciled
- Batch and testing records are maintained separately from production
- Route delivery and returns are reconciled by memory
- Rejected jars are removed from circulation without being recorded
What the software handles
- Jar issue and return recorded per customer and per route
- Deposits held against the customer with the jars outstanding
- Batch production linked to its testing record
- Route reconciliation of delivered, returned and outstanding
- Rejected jars recorded as removed from the fleet
What changes
- Fleet size known rather than estimated
- Deposits reconcilable against jars actually held
- Testing records retrievable per batch
- Route losses visible per route rather than in aggregate
Questions
It holds and retrieves the records you define, per batch. What testing you must perform and record is set by your licence conditions and your regulator, not by us, and we will not claim otherwise.
