Direct-Store-Delivery companies juggle razor-thin margins, tight delivery windows, and ever-changing order volumes. Yet 62% of companies report only partial supply chain visibility—leading to stockouts, overstocking, and frustrated retailers (Supply Chain Statistics You Must Know, FinancesOnline). Root Mobile brings end-to-end clarity and control to DSD workflows.
Critical DSD Pain Points
Blind-Spot Inventory: Without real-time tracking, teams can’t proactively replenish stock—resulting in lost sales or wasted shelf space.
Manual Route Planning: Static, spreadsheet-based routes can’t adapt to last-minute order changes or traffic incidents, driving up costs and missed windows.
Proof-of-Delivery Gaps: Paper tickets and fragmented mobile apps leave you exposed to disputes and slow billing.
