Intervolve Route Accounting System
Is your route accounting system built on aging technology?  Does your route accounting software add value to your business?

Beverage wholesalers today are faced with significant challenges such as an increasing number of SKU's, quickly changing consumer preferences, and outdated technology tools.

To be competitive, wholesalers need a sales and distribution technology platform that will allow them to increase operational efficiencies, increase margins, and comply with supplier/retailer needs.  More than ever, wholesalers need an agile platform that can grow with their business, and a technology partner that will grow with the market.

Most other route accounting systems are built on twenty-year old technology.  These systems are not designed for today's hardware or operating systems.  They are difficult to use, expensive to maintain, and are not built for scalability.

Intervolve Route Accounting System (RAS) is an easy-to-use sales and distribution solution designed for beverage distributors.  Intervolve RAS seamlessly integrates sales order management, inventory management, financial accounting, reconciliations and route management into a real-time platform for office and mobile users.

Built on a modern Java technology platform, Intervolve RAS provides a friendly and intuitive user experience, while delivering exceptional performance, reliability, and scalability.  The modern architecture ensures that as market needs change, your software will easily grow with you.

Mobile

Intervolve RAS offers a wide range of mobile applications to automate your sales and delivery teams.

Our full screen presell and driver-sell application automates the sales process, with integrated sales history, pricing, discounting, messaging, and user friendly interface.  Integrated barcode collection is optional.  Sales reps can see how much inventory is available - on their truck, or in the warehouse.  Orders can be synced throughout  the day for real-time integration with the warehouse.

Automate your delivery operation with Intervolve RAS Mobile Delivery.  Available for Windows or Windows Pocket PC, RAS Mobile Delivery reduces delivery and invoicing errors,  while streamlining the flow of inventory from the warehouse to the customer.
