A workflow to evaluate, not a feature promise
Sell refill or packaged-water items in configured piece/bale units, select walk-in, individual or corporate context, apply named-zone inclusive prices and record production costs and approved output.
Worked example — illustrative figures only
Illustrative only: period water KES 3,000 + electricity KES 2,000 + other production KES 1,000 over 1,000 produced bottles gives KES 6/bottle utility/production allocation. Add materials separately. A zone price of KES 180 replaces a KES 150 base price and already includes transport; do not add the same transport twice.
Use consistent tax treatment for cost and selling price. These invented figures explain arithmetic, not customer results or market benchmarks.
Water-refill operating checklist
Use this checklist with your own operator before buying.
- Set product sizes and piece/bale quantities.
- Test walk-in and named-zone inclusive prices.
- Record utility period and actual produced bottles before allocating costs.
- Approve output with the authorised second person; reconcile sales and payments.
Where the fit stops
Zone-inclusive pricing is not route planning, dispatch, driver manifests or proof-of-delivery. Returnable-container deposits, serial tracking and recurring delivery subscriptions are not verified.
Keep the selected piece/bale quantity and zone-inclusive selling price on the completed sale. Fiscal submission does not prove that a delivery occurred.
