Direct Store Delivery (DSD)
How We Help
DriverPro combines delivery execution and in-store ordering in one app. The driver delivers, scans returns, captures shelf photos, and takes the next order without switching tools. Fleet Planner builds routes that balance delivery-window constraints and per-stop visit time. Cash collected is reconciled in Back Office at close of day.
Industry Challenges
Common obstacles and pain points that organizations in this industry encounter in their daily operations and growth.
DSD drivers perform two jobs, delivering goods and capturing new orders at the shelf — but most systems force separate apps for each role
Route density must balance delivery stops and sales rep visit time, optimizing one undermines the other
Shelf conditions: out-of-stock, competitor activity, promotional display compliance — should be captured at every visit but rarely are
Cash collection at delivery requires daily reconciliation, paper receipts create accounting errors that take days to trace
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about how 8Move serves the direct store delivery (dsd) industry.
DriverPro's in-store order capture is integrated with the delivery manifest: order placed, delivery confirmed, returns recorded in a single stop flow.
Fleet Planner allocates time per stop, delivery time plus a configured visit window — and sequences routes to fit the full day within driver hours.
Cash collected at each stop is logged in DriverPro. Back Office compares collected totals against delivered invoice values and generates the variance report.
DriverPro photo capture at delivery serves as shelf evidence, stored against the delivery record and visible to the sales manager.
Van-stock DSD uses DriverPro's live inventory manifest. Pre-sell DSD uses SupplyNow for advance ordering with Fleet Planner for delivery scheduling.
