FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is BeatRoute the best AlcoBev SFA software for African markets?

Because on-premise, off-premise and spot selling run on one platform, with cash collection, van stock and outlet-level visibility built in rather than bolted on.

Does it handle van sales and cash collection at the outlet?

Yes. Load-out, on-the-spot invoicing, collections in cash or mobile money, and same-day reconciliation against van stock, all of it working with no network.

Can it cover a long tail of small licensed outlets?

Yes. Bars, taverns and off-licences are profiled and segmented by potential. Covered at a frequency the route can actually sustain instead of a flat weekly plan.

How does it verify visibility and brand presence at the bar?

Chillers, shelf position and POSM are audited from a photo, so activation spend is checked against what is actually standing in the outlet.

Does it support distributor operations as well as field sales?

Yes. Distributor stock, primary orders, secondary sales and claim settlement run alongside the field app, so depletion is visible from depot to bar.
