For can and jar businesses
Software for 20-litre water can and jar delivery businesses
A can delivery business runs differently from a retail bottle plant, but the underlying records are the same shape: jars produced, jars dispatched, and a running balance with customers who are billed periodically rather than paid on the spot. Bottle Flow tracks all three.
- 20 L jars as their own product
- 20-litre jars are one of the standard pack sizes at setup, each with its own bottles-per-case (or per-unit) figure and the materials it consumes, exactly like any other pack size.
- Running customer balances
- Can delivery commonly runs on account rather than cash-on-delivery. A customer’s outstanding balance is derived from their dispatched sales and collections, so it’s current without anyone maintaining a separate account book.
- Dispatch, tracked separately from the order
- A sale is created first and dispatched second. Stock and the customer’s balance only move once jars actually leave, which matches a delivery business more closely than a system that debits stock the moment an order is written down.

Before you decide.
Can I track 20 litre jars as their own product with their own stock?
Yes. 20 L jars are one of the standard pack sizes available at setup, with their own bottles-per-case and material links, alongside any other pack sizes you sell.
Does it track customers who pay periodically rather than per delivery?
Yes. A customer’s outstanding balance is derived from their dispatched sales and recorded collections, which suits an account-based billing pattern as well as cash-on-delivery.
Does it handle delivery route planning or empty-can returns?
No, not today. Bottle Flow covers production, stock and customer balances for a can business; route planning and empties tracking aren’t part of the product yet.
