Direct store delivery management software
Maximize your direct-to-store delivery for measurable results.
A device-independent software application designed to meet the complex needs of distributors of direct store delivery (DSD) products.
Your distributors deserve better tools.
Why direct-to-store delivery remains a headache for so many companies.
Field transactions often entered late or inaccurately.
Inventory losses related to breakage, loss, or theft that are difficult to control.
Manual price adjustments in the field that result in margin losses.
The difficulty of measuring the actual productivity of delivery routes and delivery drivers.
The proliferation of products and promotions complicates day-to-day management.
Time wasted in stores due to interfaces that are poorly adapted to the field context.
This is what managing direct store deliveries should look like.
Have full control over your field operations in real time.
Benefit from complete traceability, from the warehouse to the point of sale.
Increased profitability with more sales and fewer returns.
Plan, execute, and analyze every store visit.
A solution designed for your real-world situation.
Your distributors have to deal with tight schedules, demanding routes, collecting payments, tracking inventory, and quickly transmitting proof of delivery. CIS Companion Route supports your distributor every step of the way, from loading the truck to transmitting data to your offices.
Accelerate your mobile billing efficiently
Combine speed and flexibility when it comes to delivery. Whether it’s a planned order or a last-minute addition, your distributors can issue an invoice in seconds. Adjust on-site deliveries to meet real customer needs, while maintaining rigorous, centralized operations management.
Dynamic management of your prices and promotions
Adapt your price lists to the reality on the ground. Easily create and manage customized price lists by customer or customer group, and modify them at any time. Deploy targeted promotions to boost sales or clear inventory. Your distributors benefit from a clear and consistent framework for their distribution and sales activities.
Electronic signatures and centralized proof of delivery
Secure every transaction with a fully digitized distribution process. Distributors can collect the customer’s signature or proof of delivery on their device, print the final invoice via a mobile printer, and automatically forward the documents to your office. All proofs of delivery are archived and accessible at any time, speeding up administrative processing and reducing disputes.
Keep control of your inventory
Suivez l’état de vos stocks du dépôt jusqu’au camion de livraison. Chaque chargement, retour ou ajustement est automatiquement pris en compte, ce qui vous évite les erreurs coûteuses. Même les retours de produits (bons ou non) sont gérés de façon claire et structurée.
Lot traceability
Ensure accurate lot tracking from the warehouse to final delivery. With automatic lot number identification during loading and distribution, you maintain full control over the movement of your products. In case of a recall or issue, you can respond quickly and effectively. Your teams have complete visibility into each lot’s history, strengthening compliance, quality, and customer trust.

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!
