What is van sales software — and how does it fix your supply chain?
Van sales software treats every delivery vehicle as a small, fully tracked warehouse. It decides what to load, plans tomorrow's deliveries, bills at the shop door, and reconciles stock and cash the same evening.

Load the van with what will actually sell
Van sales software builds tomorrow's packing list from today's demand — beat plan, last visit history, standing orders and current van stock. The loader gets a printed or on-screen list, scans cartons out, and the van's opening stock is locked before it leaves the gate.
- Auto-suggested load quantity per SKU, per route
- Barcode or manual scan-out at the warehouse
- Van opening stock signed off by driver and storekeeper
- No more 'we loaded 40 but only 32 reached'
