In daily use — running a live milk distribution business

The milk leaves at 4 a.m. The accounts should already be right.

KshirSetu is management software for milk distributors — retailer orders, trip-wise loading, deposits, ledgers and GST invoices in one system, with an Android app for every retailer you supply.

Your own instance and your own database — nothing shared with another distributor.

The problem

Milk moves early, and it moves on credit.

You send out loaded vehicles before dawn, and by month-end you owe every retailer an answer about what was delivered, what was paid, and what is still outstanding. In registers and spreadsheets that answer lives one person deep — and it is one argument away from losing a customer.

For the office

A web system on the computer, covering everything the counter and the accountant do in a day — demand entry, loading sheets, deposit approvals, rates, ledgers, invoices and staff accounts — with role-based permissions so each person only touches their own work.

For your retailers

An Android app for the shop. The retailer places tomorrow's order before the cut-off, records a deposit with its reference and receipt photo, and sees an up-to-date account statement — in Hindi or English, on the phone already in their pocket.

The platform

The whole day, not one part of it.

Around sixty screens, each built against how the work is actually done — because it was written alongside a distributor who was already doing it.

Daily demand

Retailers order before a cut-off you set per zone. The office sees the day's total by product and by trip, and can enter or correct any retailer's order itself.

Loading & distribution

Trip-wise split of the day's load, what each vehicle carries against the capacity it really has, and printable loading and collection sheets for the driver.

Deposits

The retailer records a payment with its UTR and receipt photo; the office approves it against the bank statement — with a checker that reads the statement file and matches the references for you.

Retailer accounts

A running daily ledger per retailer, opening to closing, with balances, outstanding dues, agreed repayment plans, and a watchlist for the ones sliding the wrong way.

GST & invoicing

Tax invoices with per-zone financial-year numbering and HSN codes, a GST summary report, and a Tally-compatible export of the sale, bank and cash books.

Statements that reach people

Account statements go out as a PDF over WhatsApp or email — one retailer or a whole zone at once — so the monthly reconciliation stops being a phone call.

Crates, damage & stock

Crates issued and returned per retailer, damage and shortage entries, and stock and purchase reports against what the dairy actually supplied.

Vehicles & staff

Diesel entries against odometer readings with per-vehicle mileage, plus staff attendance, wage rates and salary payouts for drivers and helpers.

Control & oversight

Day-close and freeze so a settled day cannot be edited quietly, an audit trail on rates and approvals, comparison and performance reports, and push reminders when a retailer has not ordered.

Why it holds up

It was proved against the old books before it replaced them.

Software that touches money has to earn its place. This one was checked against the system it replaced, retailer by retailer, before anyone trusted it with a day's trade.

Years of existing data — retailers, balances, rates, transaction history — were migrated out of the old FoxPro system and reconciled retailer by retailer, until a zone's closing balances agreed with the old books exactly. Your history comes with you; you do not start again from zero.

Getting started

Your own copy. Your data stays yours.

KshirSetu is not a consumer app and not a shared pool of everyone's data. Each distributor runs a separate instance with its own database and its own web address. Nothing is shared between distributors.

  1. We talk first Zones, products, your rate structure, how trips and cut-offs work today, and what shape your existing data is in.
  2. Your instance is set up With your firm's name, GSTIN and zones — then your retailers and balances are imported and reconciled against your current books.
  3. Your staff get logins With roles, so demand entry, approvals and rate changes stay in the right hands, and every rate change leaves a trail.
  4. Your retailers install the app They enter the dairy code you give them and sign in with the retailer code and password you issue. It points them at your instance, and only yours.

Questions

What distributors ask first.

Is my data mixed with other distributors' data?

No. Each distributor gets a separate instance — its own database, its own web address, its own logins. Your retailers, rates and balances are not visible to anyone else, and there is no shared pool to opt out of.

Can my existing data be moved in?

Yes, and it should be. Retailers, opening balances, rates and transaction history have already been migrated out of an old FoxPro system and reconciled against the old books before go-live. Registers and spreadsheets can be brought in the same way. The migration is checked with you before anything goes live.

My retailers are not technical. Will they actually use the app?

The app does four things — place an order, record a deposit, see the account statement, read messages from you — in Hindi or English. And nothing depends on the retailer using it: the office can enter or correct any retailer's order, so a shop with no smartphone works exactly as before.

Does it work on a slow connection?

It needs an internet connection, but the screens are deliberately light and the app is built for ordinary mobile data at the shop. The office side runs in a normal browser on the computer you already have.

What about GST and my accountant?

The system issues tax invoices with per-zone financial-year numbering and HSN codes, and produces a GST summary. Sale, bank and cash books export in a Tally-compatible format, so your accountant carries on filing the way they do today.

Can staff quietly change a settled day?

No. A day can be closed and frozen, after which it cannot be edited; rate changes and approvals are recorded with who did them and when; and permissions are per role, so demand entry, deposit approval and rate changes can sit with different people.

How long does setting up take?

A new instance can be running in about an hour. The real work is your data — importing retailers and balances and agreeing that they match your books — and that depends on the state of the records you are coming from.
