To remain competitive in the industry, it is essential to avoid stockouts.
- It is therefore important to make sure to place orders just in time with the right quantities to always offer well-filled shelves or vending machines.
- a full shelf is always more attractive to a customer than a shelf with empty spaces due to missing or insufficient products.
- To access all this information takes a lot of time and labor, which takes away from quality time with the client.
The advantage with a DSD software such as Companion® Route is that the points of sale (vending machines or stores) can easily and simply be serviced one to three times a week, or more as needed, for the distribution of snacks, sweets and varieties.

Since we implemented Companion Rep, we increased the number of store visits and achieved shorter visit times. The display is very simple to use for representatives, allowing us to be much more efficient in stores and obtain better information capture for our company. The CIS team is highly professional and supported us throughout the project to ensure the implementation went smoothly and on schedule.

One of our distributors had forgotten his computer at the back of his truck. The device fell in the street and a car crushed it: the glass was shattered, and the keyboard severely broken. A passerby picked it up and returned it to the police. Thanks to the CIS label affixed on the computer, they were able to communicate with you, and you managed to quickly find from the serial number that the computer was ours. We retrieved it at the police station and sent it for repair to the manufacturer, who then REPLACED IT WITHOUT CHARGE, thanks to your team and your “ALL RISKS” COVERAGE! A big Thank you!
