Cans and deposits tracked per household, wallets instead of coupon books, and a round that knows who needs water today without a single phone call.
A 20-litre can costs real money. Multiply the ones you cannot trace by a year, and it is a van’s worth of capital sitting in strangers’ kitchens.
Paper coupons sold in books, lost in drawers, disputed at doors. An accounting system made of stationery.
Water is need-based. The phone rings from morning to evening with one-can orders that all have to reach the right van.
Cash for cans and cash for deposits, all in the driver’s pocket until evening. Counting it is slow, and short days sour trust.
Cans out, cans back and the deposit held are tracked per household, updated at the doorstep. Your capital stops leaking one can at a time.
Customers top up ahead and each can is charged on delivery. No paper to sell, lose or argue over, and the balance is visible to both sides.
A customer taps for a can and it appears on the right runsheet in the right order. The all-day phone relay to the vans ends.
Every collection is logged at the door and tracked to your books. The evening count takes minutes, and a shortage shows itself.
The parts of Lanemi a can delivery business leans on every day.

A can round in Chennai, a garrafón route in Guadalajara, an office water run in Nairobi. Your currency, your payment methods, your rules.
Lanemi began on a farm delivering milk in returnable glass. Container tracking exists because we lost bottles exactly the way you lose cans. The same system now watches every returnable, from half-litre bottles to 20-litre cans.

Yes. Deposits are taken when a can goes out, refunded or transferred when it comes back, and the per-household can count is always current.
Yes. One-time orders are first-class. A customer requests a can, it lands on the right runsheet, and the wallet is charged on delivery.
That works. Offices typically run standing orders with monthly invoicing habits, homes run on-demand with wallets. Both sit on the same round and the same books.
Every doorstep collection is logged and tracked from the driver to your books. Shortages are flagged automatically instead of discovered at the evening count.
Their address changes, their can balance and deposit move with them, and the runsheets update. If they leave, the deposit settles against returned cans.
Short, practical, and no filler. Leave any time.
