This question was asked by a BeatRoute prospect. Names withheld; question lightly edited for clarity.
Can I see stock at the distributor, the shop and in the van?
Our answer
Yes, BeatRoute tracks stock across all three legs of the channel. Distributor stock updates as goods are received and billed out. Shop stock is captured by the salesman during the visit, so you know what is sitting on the shelf before the next sales order is taken. Van stock reconciles at the end of the trip against what was loaded and what was sold. That end-to-end view is what separates a real DMS from an order-taking app.
