Features & Benefits

Efficient Routing & Vehicle Loading

Runner starts the day with the list of customers in the order to be visited. This is downloaded from the planning system which optimizes load order to match and allows amendment of routes to increase efficient delivery schedules. Runner™ is able to collect, time stamp and feedback geo-codes to integrate with specialist 3rd party load planning and routing systems.

A Paperless Approach
Time stamped handheld data, such as invoices and delivery tickets, are automatically processed directly to accounting and planning systems. A self service web site enables customers to print their own delivery records, eliminating unnecessary phone traffic.

Structured Task Specific Information
Data displayed relates to the particular task or process of an individual customer. Stepped processes can vary based on any customer and product specifics, keeping workflow intuitive and simple.

Increased Sales
The inventory management and invoicing functionality of Runner allows field staff to receive and fulfil orders on site and ensure there is sufficient stock for other deliveries. Perishable good returns are easily executed.

Manage Complex Pricing & Taxes
Runner architecture handles thousands of SKU’s and can recall differentiated daily pricing against separate accounts to correctly price any historic credits and fully manage forward order taking, alterations and standard daily invoicing.

Control Costs & Money Management
Runner tracks equipment used in the delivery of goods, such as crates and containers, for significant cumulative savings while eliminating duplicative and error prone data. Runner tracks payment details ensuring accountability and traceability of all receivables.

End of Day Reconciliation
Inventory, returns, odometer readings and all payments can be viewed as an end of day report, enabling staff to reconcile accurately.
