How One Food Distributor Reduced Delivery Delays from 3 Weeks to 48 Hours with DealerPlus
When Delays Become the Norm, You Lose More Than Time
A regional food distribution business in India was battling a growing crisis.
They supplied perishable goods to hundreds of outlets across multiple cities, relying on 20+ depots to fulfill time-sensitive deliveries. But their operations were fragmented. Orders were taken via WhatsApp, inventory was updated on spreadsheets, and dispatches were coordinated manually over phone calls. Drivers didn’t follow optimized routes, stock mismatches were common, and nobody had real-time visibility.
What started as a few delays soon snowballed into a 3-week backlog in customer deliveries.
Distributors were frustrated. Clients were switching to competitors. And sales reps, despite their best efforts, had no control or insights.
The business needed more than just a better tracker—it needed a smarter system.
The Switch That Changed Everything: DealerPlus
They implemented DealerPlus, a mobile-first dealership and distribution management platform that connects sales, dispatch, and inventory on a single screen.
Within just 48 hours, things started turning around.
Here’s what changed:
✅ Orders synced instantly from POS to depot
As soon as a customer placed an order at an outlet, DealerPlus pushed the request to the appropriate depot without delay. No more missed orders or dependency on manual relays.
✅ Dispatches were auto-assigned with route optimization
DealerPlus used real-time maps to auto-assign delivery vehicles based on location, stock availability, and route efficiency—cutting travel time and reducing fuel costs.
✅ Full visibility from any device
Sales managers and depot staff could monitor inventory levels, view dispatch status, and track live delivery ETAs—all from their phones or tablets. This eliminated reliance on calls and reduced coordination chaos.
