Milk & Dairy Billing Software | Milk Booth POS
DairyKey is BSD Infotech's Milk & Dairy Billing Software — a Milk Booth POS built for milk booths, dairy shops and milk retail counters. It bills every sale by product and quantity, accepts cash or smart-card (debit-card style) payment, and keeps membership and milk producer details in the same system.
It's designed so that even a counter employee with basic training can run it day to day, while the owner still gets a clear, itemised view of cash and card sales whenever it's needed.
What Is Milk & Dairy Billing Software?
A milk booth or dairy counter runs on a lot of small, repeated transactions every day. That brings a few recurring problems: keeping enough change for cash sales, recognising regular/member customers, keeping a record of the milk producers who supply the booth, and knowing at the end of the day exactly how much was sold and collected.
DairyKey Milk Booth POS is built around these problems. Counter staff enter each sale by product and quantity, take payment in cash or by smart card, and the bill is generated automatically. Membership, customer loyalty and milk producer details are recorded in the same system, and the owner can pull sales and recharge reports at any time — split between cash and card — instead of relying on a manual paper tally.
Milk Booth POS Features
Bill cash or smart-card sales for milk and other dairy items right at the counter.
Take straightforward cash payments alongside smart-card transactions.
Accept payment by smart card, which works like a debit card, so customers don't need exact change.

Keep a membership record for your regular milk customers.
Support loyalty for repeat customers at the counter.
Send an SMS confirmation on every transaction.
Track details of the milk producers who supply your booth.
Generate the customer's bill automatically as soon as a sale is entered.
See total sales, cash/card breakup and smart-card recharge collections at any time.
Smart Card & Cashless Milk Booth
Card-based sales at the milk booth work through a smart card that functions like a prepaid debit card. A customer can get the card recharged for any amount and then use the balance to pay for milk and other dairy products at the counter, instead of paying in cash. The shopkeeper can see the recharge amount collected, and total sales are always available broken down into cash sales and card sales.
This card-based billing uses the same underlying smart card technology behind BSD's wider smart card solutions, and can be paired with a compatible reader such as our ACR38 contact smart card reader.
Milk Inventory Management
Every cash or smart-card sale is entered against a specific product and quantity, so the system builds an itemised, day-by-day record of what has moved through the counter — the same record that feeds the sales reports below. This gives the shopkeeper a running view of how each product is selling, which supports basic stock and reordering decisions at the booth.
If your business needs a fuller stock and inventory module — batch tracking, reorder alerts, multi-location stock — BSD's RetailKey billing and inventory software covers that in more depth; let us know and we can discuss whether it fits alongside your milk booth billing.
Customer & Membership Management
Regular milk customers can be set up with a membership, and the software supports customer loyalty for repeat buyers — similar membership handling to what BSD uses in its club and gym membership software. Where a customer pays by smart card, their recharge balance and card-based purchases are tracked as part of the same billing system.
On the supply side, the system also keeps milk producer details, so a booth that both buys milk from local producers and sells it to customers can track both sides from one place.
Reports & Business Visibility
At any time, the shopkeeper can see:
- Total sales for the counter
- Sales split between cash and smart-card (debit card) payments
- The recharge amount collected through smart cards
Because billing is entered product by product, these totals can also be reviewed by item, which is useful for spotting which products are moving fastest.

Hardware Integration
DairyKey Milk Booth POS runs on a touch-based or non-touch POS terminal and works with a smart card reader for card-based sales. As POS software from a company that also supplies POS and identification hardware, it can be used alongside other standard hardware such as a cash drawer and a receipt printer for the customer's bill, and — for packaged products carrying a barcode — a barcode scanner.
