Can the driver place a new order while completing a delivery?

DriverPro's in-store order capture is integrated with the delivery manifest — order placed, delivery confirmed, returns recorded in a single stop flow.

How does DSD route optimization balance delivery and sales time?

Fleet Planner allocates time per stop — delivery time plus a configured visit window — and sequences routes to fit the full day within driver hours.

How is cash collected during DSD reconciled at end of day?

Cash collected at each stop is logged in DriverPro. Back Office compares collected totals against delivered invoice values and generates the variance report.

Can shelf conditions be captured without a separate merchandising app?

DriverPro photo capture at delivery serves as shelf evidence — stored against the delivery record and visible to the sales manager.

Does 8Move support both van-stock and pre-sell DSD models?

Van-stock DSD uses DriverPro's live inventory manifest. Pre-sell DSD uses SupplyNow for advance ordering with Fleet Planner for delivery scheduling.

Direct Store Delivery (DSD)

Comment nous aidons

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.

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
