Improve workforce efficiency, profitability and the velocity of your supply chain with Motorola and Zebra DSD/route accounting mobility solutions

The workforce in direct store delivery (DSD) and route accounting delivery operations is the primary face to your customer. Part delivery driver and part sales person, these workers are heavily responsible for the health of your business-their efficiency is directly tied to the speed of your supply chain. If this workforce is laden with paperwork and manual processes, the result is a reduction in the number of stops per day or a reduction in the amount of time your reps can spend building relationships and business with customers, ultimately impacting your ability to consistently deliver product on time as well as your order-to-cash cycle times. That, in turn, can contribute to customer out-of-stock conditions and a reduction in their sales and profitability.

But when you give your drivers a Motorola/Zebra mobility solution, you give them the real-time connection to your business systems required to streamline and reduce errors in the DSD/route accounting function. With a Motorola mobile computer and a Zebra mobile printer, your drivers can print out a load manifest at the beginning of the day along with a list of stops. At a customer site, the ability to print a receipt or revised invoice helps ensure that the right product is delivered at every stop. Drivers can also accept a credit card via the printer or handheld and print a credit card payment receipt on the spot, helping to speed the cash flow cycle. The ability to capture a signature enables workers to transmit real-time proof of delivery as well as provide a hard copy of that delivery receipt to your customer, eliminating delivery-related disputes. The ability to scan the bar codes on returns enables the creation, real-time transmission and printing of an accurate credit receipt for the customer, effectively completing the transaction on the spot. And the ability to scan any inventory in the truck at the end of the day enables the creation and printing of an accurate settlement report in record time.

As a result of the streamlining of the many business processes in this operation, the same workforce can now make more, accurate deliveries per day, maximizing utilization of your drivers as well as your vehicle fleet. As the speed of your supply chain increases, so does your ability to consistently deliver product on time-including rush and emergency orders-improving customer service, satisfaction and retention levels. In addition, the ability to reconcile, create and transmit accurate invoices on the spot reduces the order-to-cash cycle time, significantly improving cash flow and profitability.
