Collection by session
Morning and evening collections recorded separately, because quantities, rates and suppliers genuinely differ between them.
DairyDesk
Milk and dairy management software
From the farm gate to the counter — milk collection, farmer payments, subscriptions and daily orders in one system, with the gap between litres in and litres out visible every day.
Runs in the browser. Data is saved on the server, so every device sees the same records.
Why it matters
A milk shop is two businesses that have to reconcile
Buying from farmers and selling to customers are separate ledgers, and the interesting number is the one between them: the litres you paid for that never turned into a sale. Track them apart and that number never appears at all.
Two habits do most of the work. Store the rate on the transaction itself rather than in a “current rate” field somewhere, so changing a rate today does not silently rewrite last month. And bill subscriptions from delivered days, not by multiplying a standing quantity by thirty.
Features
What DairyDesk covers
Rate held on the entry
Each collection and sale carries the rate that applied at the time, so a rate change today cannot retroactively alter historical records.
Farmer accounts
Dues built from actual litres received and the rates applied, rather than an estimate reached at the end of the month.
Subscriptions
Customer standing orders with each day's delivery recorded individually — including the days the standing quantity was delivered as normal.
Billing from deliveries
Invoices come from the delivery record, so a customer who was away for four days is charged for the days they actually received milk.
Counter sales
Walk-in sales alongside subscription deliveries, so the day's total sold is one number and not two lists to add up.
The daily litre difference
Litres in against litres out, calculated daily while it is still small enough to explain.
Saved on your server
Records live on the server, so the shop and the office are looking at the same book.
How it works
The five-minute daily routine
Morning
Enter the morning collections — farmer, quantity, rate — then the morning subscription deliveries.
Evening
Do the same for the evening session, and log the day's counter sales.
Close the day
Record the litre difference. Caught daily it is a question about pouring or spillage; caught monthly it is an argument.
Questions
Frequently asked
Why record morning and evening separately?
Because they are different transactions. Quantities, rates and often the suppliers differ between sessions, and merging them into a daily total hides the variation you need in order to spot a problem.
How are subscription customers billed?
From the record of delivered days. Billing by multiplying a standing quantity by thirty produces disputes every month; billing from deliveries produces a number the customer can check.
What causes the gap between litres bought and litres sold?
Usually generous pouring, measurement error, spillage, staff consumption that was never written down, and sales entered late — rather than theft. Making the figure visible tends to turn hidden loss into a recorded cost.
Can I change a rate without breaking old records?
Yes. The rate is stored on each transaction, so updating today's rate leaves every earlier entry exactly as it was.
