Features

Customer-oriented distribution

Create customer-specific delivery schedules in Food Warehousing and Distribution, including set days for standing orders, and use product lot preferences to indicate the age, freshness, or quality levels of the goods to be sent to customers.

Sales order management

In Food Warehousing and Distribution, you can generate and edit sales orders for all standing orders within selected parameters. Sales orders include route and stop data from customers’ master records.

Delivery trip management

Route planners can easily set up trips, and, in a single screen, manage orders, equipment, drivers, picking, loading, shortages, routing, and other aspects of delivery before reviewing returning paperwork and adjusting orders per trip before invoicing happens.

Container management

Pack and ship items to customers’ specifications in any type of container you care to set up, including pallets. You can also use containers for storing and receiving items. Based on containers’ license plates, you can track them and their content, manage returns and maintenance with detailed container histories, and link lots to containers to enable container-specific lot tracking.
