Vendors update their item and price information constantly to meet market conditions, changing seasons and promotional pressures.  When a delivery ticket contains unauthorized items or incorrect costs, both the customer and the seller suffer.

Not to mention the hassle that both accounting teams encounter when costs don’t match, and items aren’t correct.  Utilizing a single data source has been shown to reduce invoice discrepancies by 70% and nearly eliminate cost discrepancies.

And that’s not all.  Time spent by DSD suppliers making deliveries is slashed making their stops faster and their overall routes more efficient.  Receivers spend less time, too. Customers using this method have reported fresher product, fewer out-of-stocks and happier customers.  It also provides an opportunity to discuss transitioning to a scan-based trading program to achieve even more value.
