Eliminating errors reduces admin time and keeps accurate records on stock, avoiding shortages,, overstocking of items, pricing errors, and an inability to meet the market demand, which means loss of business and missed opportunities. With RouteMagic’s van sales system, you can automate stock and delivery status updates, and adjustments to order totals that include returns, wastage, and up-sold items.

Personalise sales for every customer with

WhiteLists/BlackLists
RouteMagic van sales system takes care of whitelist/blacklist products with the ability to create/implement product lists. You can define product lines by creating product lists, and the system will ensure drivers do not accidentally sell products to customers that you cannot get paid for. This removes the chance of manual error early on and ensures tighter stock control along with overall improved visibility and inventory management.

Controlling price lists and discounts
Having a system that allows you to control the discount offered by your delivery drivers will remove mistakes and allow your= to maximise sales when at a customers, meaning no more calls to the office to gain authorisation..

The bottom line is that unreliable reporting methods are risky, and could lead to miscalculations that are costly for business.

Integrated electronic proof of delivery apps are far more than just for delivery confirmations nowadays.

They are integrated with a back-office system that helps to keep product and order information, as well as pricing structures, updated, so all of the team can access them whenever they need.‍

What does this mean for your drivers at the point of delivery?

Drivers can arrive at a customer, with an app that tells them exactly what the customer wants. They can easily adjust quantities, with stock and cost adjustments being taken care of by the app automatically. The app will show the driver the price range they are able to sell each product at, as well as present white and blacklist products to them. Once a POD has been taken, these records are updated on the app and the office immediately, and any anomalies or unusual cost or stock adjustments will be flagged to make sure any mistakes are corrected then and there.
