A spreadsheet alternative for your delivery route
Excel is free and you know it by heart. The problem isn't the program, it's that it wasn't built for delivery routes. Here's what changes with a system that was.
What each one actually does
When it makes sense to switch
You don't need 500 customers to think about it. The clearest sign is this: if you've already lost an order, if a driver has already called asking for an address that "was written down somewhere," or if the route falls behind the one day you're not around, you're already paying the cost of not having a system. You're just paying it in time and frustrated customers, not in a monthly subscription.
Frequently asked questions
Why not just keep using Excel if I already have it set up?
You can keep using it as long as it works for you. The signal to switch isn't the file itself, it's when it starts failing: a lost order, a route built by hand every morning, a customer calling because you never wrote their order down.
Is it hard to migrate data from Excel to Sodapp?
No. The initial load of your customers and products is included in setup, and we help you move the information over.
Does Sodapp fully replace the spreadsheet?
Yes, for everything a delivery spreadsheet does: orders, routes, history, and the status of each delivery.
