Milk BookYour milk business, in your own branded app.
Milk Book is dairy bookkeeping software. Each vendor gets an Android app under their own name and logo to keep kathas, morning and evening milk, monthly amounts and payments in one place, so nobody has to add up a paper notebook at the end of the month.
- Android app
- Data kept separate per vendor
- INR-first
Payment recorded
Oldest month cleared first
Built at home first. Milk Book started as an app for a milk vendor in Andhra Pradesh, the creator's father, to replace the notebook he used for every customer's milk and money. It is now offered to other milk vendors and dairies, each with their own app and their own separate data.
Why switch
From the paper notebook to Milk Book
The notebook has served milk vendors for years. Here is what changes when the same katha lives in an app.
Paper notebook
- Adding up every customer's milk by hand at month end
- Hard to tell who still owes money
- A part payment gets written in the margin
- Rate changes get lost between old and new pages
- Ghee and kova kept on a separate page
- Bills written out one by one
- A wet or lost notebook means lost records
Milk Book
- Monthly amounts worked out from the daily entries
- Pending balance shown for each katha
- Bulk amounts clear the oldest month first and carry the rest forward
- Rates set per milk size in Metrics, with new prices from the day you change them
- Extras recorded with their own rates
- Print, PDF, WhatsApp, SMS or email the bill
- Records kept in your app account, not on paper
