Your customers pause, skip and change their milk themselves. Bottles and deposits are tracked crate by crate, and every litre is paid for from a wallet before it leaves the farm.
Half the phone calls are one sentence long. "No milk tomorrow." Miss one, and a bottle sours on a doorstep while the customer is away.
Glass goes out full and should come back empty. Some of it never does, and nobody can say which house still has three of your bottles.
Delivering is the easy half. Then comes a second round of knocking on doors for last month's milk money, and the awkwardness when someone disputes the count.
Daily quantities per house, in a book that only one person can read. One rainy morning or one lost page, and a month of records goes with it.
Customers set their daily litres, pause for a trip, or add extra for a festival weekend from their own phone. The change lands in tomorrow's plan on its own, so nothing sours on a doorstep.
Lanemi tracks returnable bottles house by house. Deposits, swaps and refunds are recorded as they happen, so you always know who holds your glass and what it is worth.
Households top up a wallet, and each morning's milk is charged only when it is delivered. There is no monthly bill to argue over, because the count was settled one delivery at a time.
Tonight the system builds tomorrow's exact list, house by house, litre by litre. Print it before bed if you like. If the network is down at 5am, the round still goes out.

A milk round in Kochi, a doorstep dairy in Manchester, a co-op in Nairobi. Your currency, your payment methods, your paperwork. Nothing about a region is baked in.
Lanemi began with our own dairy round, glass bottles and all. The bottle tracking exists because we lost bottles. The wallet exists because we hated chasing milk money. We use it before we ask you to.
Read our storyThe pause calls just stopped. Customers do it themselves, and no bottle sours on a step anymore.
I finally know who has my bottles. The deposit tracking alone paid for the year.

Yes. Deposits are taken when glass goes out, returns are logged at the doorstep, and refunds or swaps are tracked per household. You can see at any time who holds your bottles.
That is the normal case, not the exception. Daily litres per house, pauses, skips and one-off extras all feed the nightly plan on their own.
Yes. Cash tops up the wallet like any other method, and every coin an agent collects is tracked from the doorstep to your books, with shortages flagged.
One system. Lanemi assumes nothing about what you sell, so curd, ghee, eggs and anything else on a schedule sit in the same catalogue and the same round.
Confirm and print the runsheet the night before. The round goes out on paper and you update it when you are back online.
Short, practical, and no filler. Leave any time.
