Milk & Dairy

Route to market software for Milk & Dairy

Daily routes, pre-dawn delivery windows, crate returns and products measured in days of shelf life.

How Milk & Dairy distribution works

Fresh dairy runs on the shortest cycle in distribution. Milk, laban and yoghurt go out every day, often before shops open, and with only days of shelf life, returns are part of every route rather than an exception. Crates and bottles leave with each drop and have to come back.

DigiTS is built for that rhythm: fast, repeatable daily routes, return rules set per SKU, crates and empties tracked per outlet, and van stock, cash and returns reconciled at the end of each run — the same day, not days later.

The reality

What makes Milk & Dairy distribution hard

  • Daily delivery cycles with pre-dawn completion windows
  • Very short shelf life driving high return volumes
  • Crates, bottles and empties that must come back
  • Daily reconciliation across hundreds of drops
  • Cold chain integrity from plant to outlet

Questions

Milk & Dairy distribution questions

Does DigiTS suit early-morning delivery routes?

Yes. Daily routes are designed around pre-dawn delivery windows, and because invoicing, delivery and returns all work with no data connection, drivers are not held up by poor signal at the outlet.

How are crates and empties tracked?

Crates, bottles and other returnables are recorded as issued and recovered at every drop, giving a running balance for each outlet, so missing assets show up before they become a write-off.

How are short-dated returns controlled?

Return rules are set per SKU, including scheduled returns for product nearing its expiry date, so drivers accept only what your policy allows and every return is accounted for.

Is settlement really done the same day?

Yes. At the end of each run, van stock, cash collected and returns are reconciled against what was loaded, so any variance is found the same day, while it can still be traced.
