How are expiry dates tracked through distribution?

Batch numbers and expiry dates are attached at order line level, visible in the warehouse pick list and carried through to the POD record.

Can manufacturer promotional updates reach reps immediately?

New promotions are entered once in SupplyNow's pricing engine and apply instantly across every channel — web, WhatsApp, field-rep tablet.

Does 8Move enforce delivery time-window constraints?

Fleet Planner schedules stops against per-customer delivery windows. Stops that cannot fit within the window are flagged before the route is published.

How does 8Move reduce picking errors in multi-SKU loads?

Pick lists are sequenced by warehouse layout and require scan confirmation of quantity and lot number before marking a line as picked.

Can we process partial deliveries when specific SKUs are unavailable?

SupplyNow supports partial confirmation — the customer chooses to ship available lines now and back-order the rest, or wait for a full shipment.
