A Typical Day For Your DSD Route Driver
Your driver arrives at the your warehouse around 4 am in the morning. He starts to check his truck and review his load. He does a Master Data Sync with our DSD Sales App. This Master Data Sync connects to the IBM i data and refreshes customer, item, pricing, and any other information the driver is allowed to have.
The driver heads out on his route.
Throughout the day, the driver delivers and meets with customer. At some customers he prints invoices, others he emails invoices, and others require DEX transactions. He swipes a few credit cards to collect payments. The whole time, the DSD Sales App is feeding information to the cloud and management can watch from afar.
The driver heads back to the warehouse.
Once he is back, the driver does a Transaction Sync to closeout his route for the day. A few emails are generated allowing him to replenish his truck, review scrap, and get settlement paperwork. Orders and Invoices are sent to the IBM I system and a few minutes later the driver is out the door.
