Who it supports

Built for the people behind the customer relationship.

For packaged-food wholesalers, beverage distributors and route sales representatives visiting grocery shops, food retailers and business customers. Area managers can review coverage and order activity.

From challenge to action

Give everyday field work a clearer structure.

Frequent replenishment conversations

Retailers may place smaller orders across several visits in a week.

How SalesTOS helps

Use the customer order history to provide context for the next call and capture the new requirement in one record.

Changed visit priorities

A retailer may need an earlier call while another is unavailable.

How SalesTOS helps

Review assigned customers and adjust daily visit planning to reflect the actual field schedule.

Promises lost between visits

A payment discussion can disappear among order messages.

How SalesTOS helps

Record collection follow-up separately from the order so the account conversation stays traceable.

Limited context for the office

Office teams need the customer and product requirement before arranging fulfilment.

How SalesTOS helps

Submit the sales order with quantities and customer context; coordinate fulfilment through your agreed office process.

Practical questions

Food & Beverage Distribution FAQs

Can we capture frequent repeat orders?

Yes. Customer order history and new order capture support recurring retailer calls. Product setup should reflect the items and units your team actually sells.

Does SalesTOS track food expiry or batches?

Expiry, batch control and food traceability are not promised by these field-sales workflows. Confirm any such requirement against your inventory system and a separately scoped integration.

Can it dispatch delivery vehicles?

The workflow captures the sales requirement for the office. Delivery dispatch, vehicle scheduling and proof of delivery are not included in the capabilities described here.

How can managers follow up an incomplete retailer round?

Use customer visit history and route activity to discuss missed calls, then plan the next visit through the team workflow.

Can order and collection teams share account context?

With the appropriate modules and permissions, teams can use customer order activity and outstanding follow-up. Define who owns each account and which employees can view it during setup.
