Solutions · Food & grocery
Every morning's order, settled the night before.
Milk, curd, bread and eggs at the door before 7 am. We build the subscription app with a clear nightly cutoff, the route sheet your delivery staff follow in the dark, and the console that tells you how many litres to buy.
Who it's for
If this sounds like you.

Questions
About your milk & subscription delivery app.
What does a milk delivery app cost?
It depends on the subscription rules, the delivery side and the reports you need. Every project gets a fixed quote within 48 hours of your brief. For typical ranges, read our guide to app development cost in India. A single-dairy app costs much less than a multi-vendor platform.
How does the cutoff work?
You choose a time, say 10 pm. Until then customers can change tomorrow's order; after it, the order locks and goes into the route sheet and procurement forecast. A pause that starts after the cutoff is handled by the rules, and the app says which days are already locked.
Can customers pay monthly instead of prepaid?
Yes. The app can run a prepaid wallet, a monthly bill paid by UPI, or both, with a statement that explains every charge, skip and refund. UPI autopay can collect the monthly bill automatically for customers who opt in. Customers can see each day's charge.
Will the delivery app work on cheap phones?
Yes. The route sheet is light, works offline in basements and stairwells, and syncs deliveries once the phone is back on the network. Stops are listed by society, tower and flat in route order, with large buttons that are easy to tap with one hand before dawn. Photo proof is optional.
Who owns the app and customer data?
You do. Code, design files and your customer list are handed over in full. There is no per-order or per-customer fee to us. Your subscriber list, delivery history and payments stay in your own database and cloud account. Nothing stays locked in our accounts.
