From the dealer's first order through the warehouse, onto the van and onto the installer's job sheet. One system, not five spreadsheets and a WhatsApp group.
A dealer places an order. Someone checks stock. Someone books a delivery date. Someone builds a route. A crew turns up and installs it. Every one of those steps usually lives in a different place, a different inbox, a different spreadsheet tab, and the office spends half the week just keeping them in sync.
Dealer orders arrive as PDFs, emails and phone calls, re-typed into a system by hand.
Warehouse staff know what's arrived because they physically saw it come off the lorry.
Crews get a printed sheet and a postcode. Nobody in the office can see progress until they call.
Whether a job actually made money gets worked out weeks after it shipped, if at all.
Every dealer gets their own view of the orders they've placed, from approval through to delivery. Order status, product lines, delivery documents and a shared comment thread all sit on the one record, visible to both sides.
Warehouse staff log deliveries against a PO number as they arrive, then pick each route's orders ahead of the install day. Every line is tracked, so partial deliveries and shortfalls are visible before a crew is standing on a driveway short a chair.
Installers get build sheets, floor plans and stage checklists on the phone they already carry. As each stop is completed, the office sees it happen, snags and all, without picking up the phone.
Vehicles and crew are managed as part of the same system that runs the jobs, not a separate spreadsheet someone updates when they remember to.
Assign vans and lorries to routes, track which vehicle is where, and keep load capacity in view when a route is being built, before it's a problem on the morning of the job.
Installers, warehouse staff and office admin each get a role built for how they actually work, not one generic login everyone has to adapt to. Allocate crews to jobs and see availability at a glance.
Every order carries its own costs, postcode zone pricing and product line detail, so the office can see the real margin on a job as it moves through the system rather than reconstructing it at month end from three spreadsheets.

"We've built this for installation crews before, at WG Installations, and the job looks nothing like generic delivery software. Dealer orders, warehouse picks, routes and margins all need to talk to each other, or someone in the office ends up doing it by hand."
