Van Sales & Route Accounting

 

Overview


The ability to wirelessly connect your route delivery drivers with goods manufactures, distributors, and back-office systems eliminates redundant and uncompetitive business practices, like paper-based administration, while improving productivity across the board. In-depth reporting and the ability to program structured tasks allows you to have unparalleled visibility and control. Sophisticated architecture manages thousands of SKU’s and accurately handles complex pricing and taxes. 

Advanced vehicle tracking, routing and planning systems optimize and ensure efficient delivery schedules while access to accurate, real-time data enables drivers to invoice, receive payment, and fulfill orders on-site with the assurance that their inventory levels will cover the remaining route. Time stamped data, such as invoices, payments and delivery tickets are automatically processed through back-office systems and are immediately available in digital format to ensure accountability.
