DSD Software
DSD Software for Distributors
Route Accounting, Delivery, and Mobile Ordering - Offline First
Orderwerks DSD software gives distributors everything they need to manage direct store delivery operations from a single platform. Route accounting, invoicing, proof of delivery, and real-time inventory - all working offline on iOS and Android.
Most DSD operations stitch together 3-4 disconnected tools. Orderwerks gives your sales reps, warehouse staff, and drivers one platform that works offline and syncs when connected.
Sound Familiar?
The reality of running pre-sell DSD routes
Sales reps take orders in the field but the data doesn't flow cleanly to the warehouse for picking and loading
Drivers on routes lose connectivity and can't confirm deliveries or update order status in real time
No single system connects the sales rep, the warehouse, and the driver - so reconciliation is manual
Paper-based route sheets and delivery confirmations create data entry backlogs at the end of every day
Disconnected systems mean the office doesn't know what's been delivered until the driver returns
Re-keying orders into QuickBooks for invoicing wastes hours and introduces errors
What is DSD Software?
DSD software (Direct Store Delivery software) is a platform that manages the entire process of delivering products from a distributor's warehouse directly to retail store shelves - bypassing third-party distribution centers. It covers order entry, warehouse fulfillment, route planning, delivery confirmation, and back-office reconciliation in one connected system.
DSD software is widely used by beverage, snack, tobacco, and wholesale distributors who run pre-sell or van-sell routes. Orderwerks is built specifically for pre-sell DSD operations where reps take orders ahead of delivery, and every step works offline on native iOS and Android apps.

How Orderwerks Solves DSD Route Accounting
Offline-First Order Entry
Sales reps enter orders in the field using our native iOS/Android app - even without cell service. Orders sync automatically when connectivity returns. No lost orders, no double entry.
Large Catalog Support
Handle 50,000+ SKUs on device without lag. Your full product catalog lives on the app, not in the cloud. Reps browse, search, and order against the complete catalog at every stop.
Delivery Confirmation & Proof of Delivery
Drivers confirm deliveries, capture signatures, and note discrepancies from the Enroute mobile app. Data flows back to the office in real time or syncs when back in range.
Order-to-Delivery Visibility
Track every order from entry through fulfillment to delivery confirmation. The office sees order status across all active routes without waiting for drivers to return.
QuickBooks Integration
Orders flow directly into QuickBooks Desktop or Online for invoicing. No re-keying, no reconciliation spreadsheets, no end-of-day data entry marathons.
Customer-Specific Pricing & Terms
Set pricing tiers, payment terms, and product availability by account. Reps see the right prices for each stop automatically - on device, even offline.
One Connected Platform
The Full DSD Workflow
From the sales rep's first stop to the office's final reconciliation - every step connected
Rep Takes the Order
Sales App
Sales reps visit customer locations and enter orders using the native iOS or Android app - even without cell service. Full catalog on device with customer-specific pricing.
Order Hits the Office
Web Portal
Orders sync to the web portal automatically. The office reviews, approves, and queues orders for fulfillment. QuickBooks invoices generate without re-keying.
Warehouse Picks and Loads
Fulfillment
Pick lists generate by route. Warehouse staff pick, pack, and stage orders for each truck. Orders move through fulfillment connected to the original order.
Driver Delivers the Route
Enroute App
Drivers view their daily route in the Enroute app. They navigate to each stop, confirm deliveries, capture signatures, and note any discrepancies.
Office Reconciles
Reporting
Delivery data flows back to the office. Compare what was ordered vs. delivered. Identify returns, shortages, and exceptions - all connected to the original order and invoice.

Frequently Asked Questions
DSD software (Direct Store Delivery software) manages the full cycle of getting products from your warehouse to retail shelves. It connects order entry, warehouse fulfillment, route delivery, and office reconciliation in one system. Route accounting, invoicing, proof of delivery, and inventory tracking all flow together so distributors can run their entire DSD operation from a single platform.
Orderwerks supports the pre-sell distribution model. Sales reps take orders ahead of time using our offline-capable mobile app, the warehouse fulfills and loads trucks, and drivers deliver confirmed orders using the Enroute delivery app. We do not currently support van-sell (selling off the truck against onboard inventory).
Yes. Our native iOS and Android app stores the full product catalog on the device. Reps can browse products, look up customer pricing, and create orders with zero connectivity. Orders queue locally and sync automatically when the device reconnects.
The app is built to handle large catalogs - 50,000+ SKUs on device. The full catalog downloads during initial setup and syncs incrementally after that. On-device search uses full-text indexing so lookups are fast regardless of catalog size.
Drivers use the Enroute app (iOS or Android) to view their daily route, navigate to each stop, and confirm deliveries. They can capture signatures, note discrepancies, and update stop status. Data syncs back to the office in real time or queues for sync when connectivity returns.
Yes. Orderwerks integrates with both QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online. Orders sync to QuickBooks for invoicing automatically - no re-keying or end-of-day data entry. Customers, products, and pricing stay in sync between systems.
Our Delivery Management page focuses on the Enroute driver app - route planning, driver tracking, and proof of delivery. This page is about the full DSD workflow from start to finish: order entry by the sales rep, warehouse fulfillment, truck loading, route delivery, and office reconciliation. Enroute is one piece of the DSD puzzle. This page shows how all the pieces connect.
Pricing starts at $60/user/month for the Sales App. Contact us for a quote based on your number of sales reps, drivers, and warehouse users. No long-term contracts required.
Yes. Orderwerks supports pre-sell workflows where reps take orders in advance for later delivery. Sales reps visit accounts, enter orders on the mobile app (even offline), and the warehouse picks and loads route trucks for scheduled delivery.
Yes. The Orderwerks Enroute delivery app captures electronic signatures, photos, timestamps, and GPS coordinates as proof of delivery. All data syncs back to your dashboard in real time.
Yes. Orderwerks is offline-first, meaning drivers and reps can take orders, process deliveries, and capture proof of delivery without internet access. Everything syncs automatically when they reconnect.
Look for offline-first mobile apps (reps and drivers lose connectivity constantly), built-in invoicing and proof of delivery, QuickBooks or ERP integration, customer-specific pricing, large catalog support, and route optimization. The best DSD software connects order entry, warehouse fulfillment, and delivery in one platform so you avoid re-keying data between disconnected tools.
