A route every morning
Loads are planned before dawn, and an over-loaded or under-loaded van costs money either way.
Japaate for Dairy
Route sales and delivery software for dairy brands.
Japaate helps dairy brands plan daily routes, build delivery loadouts and settle collections against bills, with expiry-aware stock in the distributor system.
The problem
What makes dairy distribution hard.
A short shelf life
Stock has to move in expiry order, and returns of expired product have to be counted, not guessed.
Cash at the end of the day
Collections from dozens of outlets are settled at day-end, and disputes start when nobody has the same numbers.
How Japaate helps
Built for how dairy sells.
Loadouts with load prediction
The DMS builds delivery loadouts and predicts loads for each route.
DMSFirst-expiry-first-out
Stock carries batch and expiry dates and is picked in expiry order.
DMSDelivery confirmation
Deliveries are confirmed and collections are recorded against the bills.
DMSReturns, counted
Expired and damaged stock is logged and kept apart from saleable stock.
DMSRoutes for the field team
Reps follow their beat and check in at each outlet within 40 metres.
Salesman AppCredit and ledgers
Credit limits per outlet and ledgers both sides can see.
DMSWhere teams start. Dairy brands usually start with the DMS for loadouts and settlements, then add the Salesman App for route sales. Most teams are live within 14 days.
Is Japaate good for dairy distribution?
Yes. Japaate handles route-based delivery with loadouts and load prediction, expiry-aware stock picked first-expiry-first-out, and delivery confirmation with collections recorded against bills.
How are delivery loadouts planned in Japaate?
The Japaate DMS builds delivery loadouts for each route and predicts loads, so vans leave with what the route needs.
How are collections settled?
Collections are recorded against each outlet's bills, by cash, UPI, RTGS/NEFT or cheque, so the day-end settlement matches what was delivered. Japaate records payments; it does not process them.
