LaceUp’s DSD route accounting software is a comprehensive solution for distribution companies who do direct store delivery. The LaceUp DSD route accounting software supports the following modules: sales from the truck, consignment, par level sales, DEX, and scan based trading. LaceUp’s DSD route accounting software has been designed to eliminate all aspects of the invoicing process that create inefficiencies and bottlenecks. As a result, every distributor should expect an increase of sales, decrease in costs, and an overall increase in gross profit with a system like this.
The DSD route accounting system offers many tools to create invoices quickly and efficiently from the field. At the driver’s disposal is an invoice template where they can view customer purchase history, price history, and weekly average sales. The driver can also add products to the invoice using a search function, scanning the product barcode, and using an image rich catalog.
Just like invoices, credits are a critical component of the DSD Route Accounting Software. Most accounting systems fail to manage credits properly because credits increase inventory when they post into the accounting system. Credits come in two forms, good or bad. Good credits are returned to the warehouse and increase inventory whereas bad credits are dumped in the trash and do not affect inventory. Even though dumps do not affect inventory, distribution companies must have the ability to track the expense of dumped items for tax purposes. When issuing a credit, the dsd route accounting software lets you choose whether the item that you are picking up is a good or bad credit. Not only this, but the system enables you to place credit items on the same document as sales items or you can print a separate credit and sales document altogether.
The DSD route accounting software enables the tracking of truck inventory from the beginning of the day to the end of the day. Drivers can load up the truck by sending a load order for a future pick up day. When the day comes, the driver can accept the pending load back into their handheld. This load accept process will increase the inventory on the truck and decrease the inventory of the main warehouse. Aside from this, the driver or warehouse manager can transfer product right onto the driver’s mobile device.
When it comes to consumer safety local and national governments have been cracking down on the distributors who do not track the location of their products. In the case of a recall, the distributor must be able to locate the recipient of a product with a certain lot number or expiration code. With the DSD route accounting software you will be able to track products from the warehouse all the way to the point of sale. In the case of a recall or a government audit, run a simple report in two clicks to identify and inform any affected customers of the recall.
In the DSD industry it is common to see prices fluctuate from customer to customer. Some customers pay more for your products and others pay less. The DSD Route Accounting Software lets you create over 1000 price levels and associate them to any customer or customer group. Price levels can be modified at the product level to allow the user maximum flexibility with pricing. All price levels created in the back office reflect directly in the app so that drivers can worry about selling instead of worrying about potential pricing mistakes.
During special occasions or holidays, it is common to put certain products on promotion. Promotions enable you to move more products by incentivizing the customer to purchase product a lower price over a certain date range. Not only can you set temporary price reductions, but you also can set up buy and get free promos. All promotions created in the admin back office are shown to the salesmen in the field so that they can move more product and increase sales.
LaceUp’s DSD route accounting software enables the driver to collect signatures for invoices, collect payment, and print the final invoice using a thermal printer on the spot. With LaceUp Proof of delivery, the driver can ask the receiver to sign on the device in acceptance of the invoice. Then the driver can print the invoice with the signature for the customer. All this information is sent to the back office where the team can pull up signed PDF copies of the invoices whenever needed.
