Challenge

Managing deposits on billions of bottles and cans per year requires a system that is not only scalable but also flawless. Counting, settlement, reporting, and payment must all proceed accurately and quickly – in a chain involving thousands of retail outlets, depots, and wholesalers.

Approach

Tible developed and implemented a fully digital platform that forms the heart of the return and payment flow within the Dutch deposit return system:

• Accurate counts linked to return flows per location
• Complete registration and handling of credits and debtors
• Secure cloud storage with a focus on data integrity and privacy
• Automatic reconciliation and error detection in counts and payments
• Real-time dashboards and reports for all stakeholders

Result

• Efficient management of >4.3 billion items per year
• Fewer errors in counts and settlements
• Lower administrative burden for retailers and processors
• Secure, scalable, and future-proof solution
• Direct contribution to sustainable logistics processes
