Question 1

How do water can distributors track their inventory?

Accepted Answer

Water can distributors track inventory by maintaining a can ledger that records the number of full and empty containers at three locations: the plant godown (in stock), on rider vehicles (in transit), and at customer premises (outstanding). WaterWave App updates this ledger automatically with each delivery and return, so distributors always have an accurate live count.

Question 2

What is a water can ledger and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

A water can ledger is a running record of container movements in a distribution business. When a delivery is made, full cans move from the plant to the customer. When an empty is returned, it moves back to the plant. WaterWave App's digital can ledger tracks all these movements automatically, replacing the paper tally sheets distributors traditionally use.

Question 3

How do distributors know how many empty cans are with customers?

Accepted Answer

Distributors know how many empty cans are with customers by checking the outstanding can balance per customer in WaterWave App. Every delivery increments a customer's empty can count. Every return decrements it. The running balance tells the distributor exactly how many cans each customer still holds — without calling or visiting.
