Yes — chilled and frozen rounds are a core case. Multi-temperature vehicle compartments, batch and expiry on the load, FEFO picking and temperature capture at the drop all ship as standard, which is what separates dairy and frozen food distribution software from a general wholesale package.

Both are recurring-route trades and both fit. Fixed call cycles, returnable containers and empties, cash collected at the door and a deposit ledger per customer — the mechanics of water delivery software and LPG cylinder distribution are the same shape as the rest of the platform.

Yes. Pharmacy and pharmaceutical rounds use batch, expiry and lot traceability; confectionery and snacks use high-frequency small-drop rounds with promotions at order entry. Both run on the same system as the rest of your distribution.

Mostly independents and regional distributors. It is consumer goods distribution software sized for a business running its own vans and its own reps, not a global rollout — 80+ distributors run on it today.

That is the design. Rather than a desktop ERP with a mobile add-on, the ERP and the field apps are one system — so an ERP with van sales, ordering and delivery in it, reachable from a phone in the field.

Yes — two-way sync with Sage 50 and Sage 200, plus Xero, QuickBooks and Dynamics 365. Finance keeps the ledger it trusts and the distribution side stops being re-keyed into it.

Yes — buy-X-get-Y, bundles, tier and volume discounts and customer-specific price lists all apply at order entry, so the promotion is calculated when the order is taken rather than argued about on the invoice.

A platform that runs order-to-cash on one system — order capture, warehouse, delivery, invoicing and credit control. RouteMagic does all of it.

It is the distribution ERP layer most wholesalers actually need. A general ERP for distributors is built around manufacturing and finance, then bent to fit delivery. RouteMagic is built the other way round — order to cash for people who move goods on their own vans — and it syncs to the accounts package you already run. If you are comparing wholesale distribution ERP software, compare on how it handles the round, not the general ledger.

A wholesale management system usually stops at orders and stock. RouteMagic carries the same order through picking, loading, the delivery itself, proof at the door and the invoice — so there is one distributor management record from order to cash, not four. That is the difference between a distributor management solution built for distribution companies that run their own vehicles, and a general stock package.

FMCG and food-and-drink wholesalers, bakery, dairy, frozen food, fresh produce, meat and seafood, soft drinks and beverage, confectionery and snacks, foodservice and catering suppliers, pharma and pharmaceutical distributors, electrical and building-materials wholesalers, and janitorial and pet-food distributors. Anywhere stock moves from a depot to a customer on your own vehicles.

No — it feeds it. RouteMagic syncs two-way with Sage, Xero, QuickBooks and Dynamics 365, so finance keeps the system it trusts and files VAT from the package it already uses.

Yes — customer-specific pricing, promotions, standing orders and credit terms per account, across every channel you supply.

Yes — VAT invoices are raised automatically from the delivered order and sync through to your accounts package.

Yes — RouteMagic runs across the UK and Ireland, including the Republic and Northern Ireland. Pricing is shown in GBP here; ask on the demo if you need it quoted in EUR.

A scoped pilot on one depot or round is usually live in 4–6 weeks before you scale.

Yes — the order booking app opens on a suggested order drawn from that outlet’s history, so a long order takes a fraction of the time. It works offline and syncs the moment the rep has signal.

Yes. Orders from telesales, reps, the portal and WhatsApp arrive in one queue with approval rules, amendment windows, substitutions and partial fulfilment, then flow through picking and delivery to invoice.

Credit and pricing. A webshop shows one price and takes payment up front. A B2B ordering portal shows each account its own negotiated pricelist, applies its promotions, checks its credit limit before the order commits, and bills it on terms.

RouteMagic takes telesales call-list orders, standing orders, quotations, rep orders and B2B portal orders into a single queue that flows straight to fulfilment.

Yes — standing orders auto-generate on each customer’s delivery days, and customers can self-serve through the client portal or app.

Yes — live stock and a credit check run at order entry, so agents don’t promise what you can’t ship or bill.

Yes — reps order from an in-built catalogue on a phone or tablet, and can add a new customer directly into the next round.

The portal does the job a B2B ecommerce platform does — your customers browse their own price list and place orders themselves — but the order lands in the same queue as telesales and rep orders, checked against live stock and credit. You get wholesale order management and the storefront in one place, rather than an ecommerce front end bolted onto a separate back office.

Yes — reps use the order-taking app in the field, and customers use the ordering app or portal themselves. Both feed the same pipeline.

No — it feeds it. RouteMagic syncs two-way with Sage, Xero, QuickBooks and Dynamics 365.

Yes, and it is one of the reasons food and pharma distributors pick this. Expiry date management runs on FEFO picking, shelf-life rules per customer and alerts before stock goes short-dated — so the write-off happens on a report, not on a pallet.

Yes. Batch expiry tracking follows every batch from goods-in through the pick, the van and the drop, so a recall is a query rather than a fortnight of paperwork.

RouteMagic runs scan-verified pick, pack and load with a live inventory ledger across every warehouse and van, so warehouse stock and van stock stay in step.

Yes — FIFO/FEFO is enforced on scan, and batches and expiry are tracked from receipt to delivery for traceability and short-dated stock control.

Yes — returnables are issued and reclaimed against each customer, so the empties come back with the round instead of being written off.

Yes — count warehouse and van inventory with expected quantities hidden, then post the variance.

Picking, packing and loading are verified by scan against the confirmed order, so mismatches are caught before the van leaves.

It carries the WMS functions a wholesaler actually uses — bin-level put-away, scan-verified pick and pack, batch and expiry tracking, blind counts — inside the same system that plans the round and raises the invoice. A standalone WMS for wholesalers stops at the loading bay; this one follows the stock onto the van, so warehousing and distribution run on one system instead of two.

Yes — lot traceability from goods-in to the customer who received it, with batch and expiry tracking on every movement, so a recall is a search rather than a stocktake.

The same day. Clean delivered orders auto-advance to invoiced and raise a VAT invoice automatically, so order-to-cash runs as one flow instead of a re-keying exercise at month-end.

RouteMagic raises and records the VAT invoice, then syncs it two-way to Sage, Xero, QuickBooks or Dynamics 365 — the MTD-compatible package that files your VAT return. One system of record, not two.

Shorts, substitutions and refusals captured at the door flow into billing, so you invoice what was delivered, not what was ordered.

Yes — bulk invoice runs and consolidated per-customer invoicing, priced from your price lists and promotions.

No — it feeds it. RouteMagic syncs two-way with Sage, Xero, QuickBooks and Dynamics 365, so finance keeps the system it trusts.
