The daily register — live from a real route
Sound familiar?
You built a strong business. Your tools didn’t keep up.
Every newspaper vendor we met was fighting the same eight battles — with a notebook, a calculator and pure memory.
Month-end means three late nights with a calculator.
Every house × every rate × 30 days, by hand — and customers still argue.
Month-end mathsA register here, a calculator there, WhatsApp everywhere.
Four systems for one business — and none of them talk to each other.
Four separate systems“Bhaiya, I already paid last week.”
Dues live in your memory, not a ledger — no proof at the door, and the biggest dues are the easiest to forget.
Dues on memoryVacation skips never reach the bill.
The customer was in the village for 8 days. The delivery boy remembered 3. You billed the full month — and lost the argument at their door.
Missed skipsBills go out on the 5th. Money arrives on the 20th.
Every day the bill is late, the payment lands later — and next month has already started.
Late bills, late cashThe route ran today. …Did it, though?
When the driver marks nothing, every dispute is his memory versus the customer’s.
Who’s responsible?Advances and salary, settled from memory.
A ₹500 advance in March becomes an argument in June.
Salary disputes What if your whole business
fit in your pocket?
One app for the register, the bills, the payments, the jugs, the staff and the customers. On the phone you already have.
Time back
Your month, before and after.
Routebook is custom-built inside a real daily-supply business — so these are the jobs as they actually happen, not as an app imagines them.
Month-end bills — calculating, then writing every single one
nights → minutesThe daily supply register
~5 hrs/mo backCollection rounds
days → focused roundsThe honest part: cash-only and stubborn payers still need the knock. Now you knock with the exact amount — and the ledger as proof.
Attendance, advances & salary
~2 hrs/mo backContainer & deposit count
shock → glance 0+ hrs back every month — three full working days, and the mistakes go with them
And the money side
Bills land on the 1st morning, not the 5th — cash arrives days earlier.
forgotten dues — every house carries a live balance you can see.
of containers and deposits on record, so nothing quietly walks away.
How it works
One app. Three sides. Everyone sees exactly their part.
For your driver — kept simple
One list, in route order. Two taps a house.
- Houses appear exactly in the order the route runs.
- Usual orders come prefilled: tap, tap, done.
- He sees only his route — and can’t edit a day you’ve locked.

The honest comparison
A khata app keeps accounts. Routebook runs the business.
Ledger apps were built for shopkeepers. Nothing in them knows what a route, a jug or a month-end billing run is.

Why owners trust it
Built like a bank ledger, not a notes app.
Money can never be quietly edited
Every rupee is a permanent entry. Corrections add — they never erase.
Everyone sees only their part
Roles are enforced on the server — a driver physically can’t open your money screens.
Every action is signed
Who marked, collected or edited, and when — the audit log remembers.
Works on the phone you have
No computer, no manual — built light for everyday Androids and everyday networks.
Built for your trade
See how it solves your problem.
Every trade fights the register differently. Pick yours — the page speaks your language.
Why it costs more than a register app
The register is the easy half.
Writing down who got what is where most apps stop — and at ₹99 a month, that is fair enough. The hard half is the money, the people and the proof. That half is what you are paying for.
The people who work for you
Attendance, pay and every rupee you advance — in the same book as the deliveries.
- Salary builds up through the month; paying it is a separate, deliberate step
- Advances, fines, overtime and bonuses on one running ledger
- Paid and unpaid leave, and a fair part-month for someone who just joined
- Every staff member can open their own attendance and pay
The cash between the customer and you
The gap where money actually goes missing — closed, driver by driver.
- You decide, for each driver, whether he may take cash at all
- A driver you have not trusted files a claim — your approval is what moves the money
- Confirm a hand-over and it becomes a receipt nobody can edit afterwards
- Every collector gets a month-by-month cash account, with a line for both signatures
Proof, when it is questioned
The argument ends with a record instead of a memory.
- Money is add-only — a correction is a new line, never an erased one
- Approve a day and it locks; nobody can quietly go back and change it
- Every action carries who did it and when
- A bill keeps what was billed, even after the rate changes
The books your accountant asks for
Not a summary of the year — the actual filing.
- GST tax invoices carrying your GSTIN and legal name
- A month-by-month sales register, ready to hand over
- Expenses split across the months they genuinely cover
- Profit on both bases — what you billed, and what actually came in
Four apps, not one
Owner, manager, staff and customer each open a different business.
- The manager runs the day but never sees what staff are paid
- The driver sees his route, his dues and his own salary
- The customer sees their balance, their deliveries and their bills
- You see all of it — and who did what

Questions owners ask
Straight answers.
Every house takes a different mix of papers and magazines.
Each customer’s daily mix is saved once. The bill multiplies every item by its own days and its own rate — Sunday editions and magazines included.
Month-end collection is my biggest headache.
Bills go out on WhatsApp with full detail, the collection list sorts itself by biggest dues first, and customers can pay by UPI and report it in one tap.
I don’t have a computer. Can I still use it?
Yes — Routebook is built for the Android phone already in your pocket. There is no computer version to learn and no setup hardware to buy.
My driver is not comfortable with apps.
The driver’s screen is one list, in the exact order the route runs, with each house’s usual order prefilled. Marking a delivery is two taps. If he can use WhatsApp, he can use this.
Everything is in English. My staff read Hindi.
Every single screen works in both English and हिन्दी. Each person picks their own language and can switch anytime.
What happens when a customer says “I already paid”?
You open their ledger together: every bill, every payment, dated and signed. Customers can also report payments from their own app — nothing counts until you approve it, and once approved it can never be silently changed.
Network on my route is weak.
Routebook is built light for everyday Indian networks — your lists stay readable even when the signal dips. Saving money entries needs a basic data connection, so records are never half-written.
How do I start?
Message us on WhatsApp. We set up your business, your routes and your customer list with you — most owners run their first live route the next morning.
