Bottled Water Delivery E-commerce Software

This solution serves bottled water suppliers who deliver jars and cases to homes and offices on fixed days. It holds each customer’s schedule, deposits and empties, plans routes, records delivery on a driver’s phone and bills monthly or on a wallet.

Product status

Custom software solution, built to your requirements

No existing GullySystem product runs jar delivery routes, deposits and empties. The system would be written for you, and nothing counts as available until it has been designed with you and accepted.

There is no published price, free trial or live demo for this solution. Scope and cost are settled in a written proposal after discovery.

Purpose and users

A jar of water is cheap and the customer is worth a great deal. The system is built around the repeat customer, the route and the empty jar that has to come back.

It does not test or certify the water. It keeps the fill batch and the test report your plant supplies, and shows them where you choose.

Common questions

Questions about this solution.

Is this a ready-made app?

No. It is custom work, and nothing exists until it has been designed and accepted.

Does it test the water?

No. It stores the batch and test report that your plant supplies. Testing and licensing are yours.

Does it work if the phone loses signal on a route?

Offline capture in the driver app is a requirement to settle in design. It is not assumed, because it affects cost and testing.
