Stock leaves with a name on it. It comes back against the same slip.

Follow one bottle of Fipronil through Imran’s day. Every millilitre is issued to him, used on a visit or returned. Whatever is left over gets a reason written next to it.

Watch the bottle empty. Then read the last line of the ledger.
STEP 1 OF 6 · 3 SEP

Twenty-four litres of Fipronil arrive at the Andheri store. The batch and its expiry go on the goods receipt, not on a sticker.

The part nobody says in the morning meeting

Chemicalchoriunexplained stock

Every owner knows the word. Most have quietly decided to live with it.

We’ve sat with enough owners to hear why. The work is dangerous, good technicians are hard to find, and nobody wants to be the boss who counts millilitres. Those reasons are fair. Here are four we hear most, in the words we heard them. Tap one to read what we’d say back.

The same Friday, twice

The record is on the honest technician’s side

One quiet question, to one person, about one slip. Imran and Farhan are never asked, because their returns already answer for them. Deepak might be telling the truth. Now you can check.

Three lines worth a quiet word

Three lines. One chai-time conversation.

A week from Deepak’s van, as the system saw it. Nothing on this page proves anything about anyone. Tap the lines you would ask him about, then see what the record would have raised.

Hint: nobody has a visit on Sunday.

FIVE WAYS STOCK GOES MISSING, AND WHAT GIVES EACH AWAY
01 The Saturday bottleChemical taken out with no visit to use it on. It treats a flat that never pays you.GIVES IT AWAYAn issue with no visit against it before the next return.
02 The thin doseDiluted weaker than the label, and the difference kept. The job sheet looks neat.GIVES IT AWAYDose far below the area, and complaints coming back at the same site.
03 The forgotten returnWhatever was not used simply never comes back to the store.GIVES IT AWAYVariance on the slip, per person, every month.
04 The drum refillBig drums decanted into small bottles at the godown, with no slip at all.GIVES IT AWAYThe stock count falls short of the register with no issue behind it.
05 The short deliveryThe supplier bills 24 litres and 20 arrive.GIVES IT AWAYThe goods receipt records what actually came in, against the purchase.

Two limits worth knowing. A tidy record can still hide a thin dose. And none of these proves anyone meant harm. They tell you who to have a quiet word with, and what to ask.

Hand-stock · every van is a small store

Deepak has 30 ml in the van. The job needs 150.

30 ml in the van? It told me before I left.
— Imran · technician

It happens every week, usually for a good reason: the site was bigger than the job card said. One setting decides what the phone does next. Pick one and record the visit.

Try both. Most owners start on Informational.

Try it · the technician in his first month

His first month on the job. The label is on his phone, and so is the question when a dose looks off.

Label on my phone. Pehle guess karta tha.
— Faiz · new technician

Training takes months and the visits start on day one. The phone shows the dilution and re-entry time for the chemical he picked, in Hindi if he prefers. If the dose does not fit the area, it asks him while he is still on site, and nobody has to shout at him later. Change the area or the quantity. Try the chemical he was never issued.

Batch and expiry come from the issue slip, so the technician cannot mistype them. Dilution and area come from him, on the visit. Together they are the chemical part of the proof, and they print on the job sheet as they were entered.

What is left over is variance, and it is yours to read. UPGEAR shows the gap and the slips behind it. It cannot tell you why, so it asks you to write it down.

BUYING

Next month’s rodent visits are already booked. Buy for those.

I order for booked visits, not for fear.
— Manoj · stores

The contracts have already dated next month’s rodent visits. Read them against what is on the shelf, set the supplier’s lead time, and the order date works itself out.

What store and ops heads ask us

Six questions, answered plainly

Including what a stock system cannot prove.

The phone does the remembering. It shows what he is carrying, the dilution for the chemical he picks, and questions a dose that does not fit the area. It can run in Hindi. Most teams take on issue and return in their third week, after visits and proof are already routine.

Bring last month’s stock register.

We load your chemicals, one store and three technicians, replay a week of issues and returns, and show you the variance line you have never had.
