Delivery management software for UK gas distributors

Orders, routing, invoicing. Built for the bottled gas trade.

Bottle runs your rounds from the first text message to the paid invoice. It connects to Xero, Sage or QuickBooks, works on your drivers' phones or tablets, and brings your customer history across for you, so switching is the easy part.

Register interest See how it works

Built with a working distributor. Early access opens 2027.

Run the delivery round from one screen.

Fewer evenings on invoices

Every drop your driver confirms becomes an invoice in your accounts, priced for that customer, without anyone typing it.

Same-day orders without the chaos

Late orders go to the nearest driver with stock, get priced for the detour, and the driver stays in control.

Room to grow

Share a delivery round with a partner business while you build up to your own vans.

How it works

From text message to paid invoice, all in one place.

  1. 1

    Take the order

    Orders come in by text, WhatsApp or your website. Bottle reads the message, works out who and what, and puts it on the right round. A late order goes to whichever driver is nearby with stock on the van.

  2. 2

    Make the drop

    Your driver sees the round on their phone or tablet, taps delivered, and can sell a spare on the spot if a trader asks. It works with no signal and syncs later.

  3. 3

    Get paid

    The invoice goes to your accounts with the right price and VAT for that customer. Weekly statements for account customers, nothing for prepaid web orders.

Why Bottle

Everything you need to run a gas delivery round.

Connected to your accounts

Works with Xero, Sage and QuickBooks. Contacts, invoices, tax codes and credit notes stay in sync as you go. No exports, no month-end catch-up.

Sell off the van

A trader asks for a spare at the market. Your driver adds the sale on their phone or tablet and it invoices like any other drop.

Same-day orders, priced properly

A customer orders at 10am, by text or on your website. If a driver is nearby with the bottles on board, Bottle offers same-day, adds your rate for the detour, and asks the driver. They say yes or no, and the round updates.

Reads the messy stuff for you

A text saying "2 x 13 for the usual place", a photo of a partner's drop list, a customer written three different ways. Bottle reads it, matches it to the right customer and product, and only asks you when it is not sure.

Share a delivery round with a partner

Starting out with one van, or none? Team up with another gas bottle business on Bottle. Your drops and theirs sit on one round, the driver sees one list, and each business invoices only its own customers.

We move your history

Twenty years of customers and transactions in your current system? We bring it all across, check the totals with you, and then you switch.

“Made by the gas bottle trade, for the gas bottle trade.”

Our story

Bottle comes from inside the trade. We came together over a shared belief: the admin side of a delivery business should run itself, so owners can spend their time on customers, drivers and growing the business. Nothing on the market was made for the way a gas round works, and switching to any of it meant weeks of admin nobody had time for.

So we are building it ourselves, with other distributors alongside us. Every feature fixes something that costs a distributor time today. Last-minute orders once the van has left. Sales made off the van at the market. Sharing a driver with another business and typing up their drops by hand. Register your interest and help decide what comes next.
