For logistics & field service

Make the field as visible as the warehouse

Job cards with the evidence attached, van stock that reconciles nightly, and tools with names on them. Stock movement is captured with no signal and syncs on return; job cards and selling are not offline, and the scope section says exactly where that line sits. Fuel is an expense coded to a project rather than a consumption log.

Sound familiar?

If any of these ring true, you are exactly who this was built for.

The evening reconstruction

What happened out there arrives as crumpled paperwork, WhatsApp photos, and numbers that reconcile approximately.

The van that returns empty-ish

Loaded full, sold some, returned some — and the difference belongs to nobody.

Fuel with no arithmetic

The fleet is the second-biggest cost and the least accounted — liters never meet kilometers.

Apps that die with the signal

Field software that needs connectivity becomes head-office fiction the first bad-signal Tuesday.

How teams get started

1

Pick one route or crew

Van stock or job cards live on one team — two weeks of parallel running builds the proof.

2

Run the nightly loop

Sync, count, reconcile — variance attributed same-day, and it shrinks within a month.

3

Scale to the fleet

Routes, crews, and vehicles onboard one at a time; route contribution becomes a report.

Van Stock & Site Custody: Inventory That Travels

The van is a warehouse that drives away; the site is a store with no walls — load-out transfers, nightly variance, job-costed materials, and crew custody.

The Transfer That Arrived Short

Ninety-four cartons left Industrial Area and eighty-nine arrived in Eldoret. The system knows what went on the lorry and what came off it — and has no opinion about the person in between.

The Transport Invoice Nobody Can Check

Most Kenyan distributors do not own a fleet, they hire one. So transport is not a fuel problem but a rate problem: the arithmetic on the invoice is right, and nobody is checking the rate it was multiplied by.

Substance Is Real. Proving It Is a Records Problem.

Six things get assessed, and every one of them is evidenced by records a business already generates. The failure is almost never that the substance is missing — it is that nobody can produce it without reconstructing the year.

Questions we are asked here

Frequently asked questions

Does it really work with no signal at all?

Yes — capture is fully local (jobs, stock movements, photos, GPS stamps) and syncs when connectivity returns, whether that is an hour or three days later. Run the airplane-mode test in the demo: a complete field day with the network off.

What devices do field teams need?

Ordinary Android phones. Photo and GPS evidence needs nothing exotic; plan for charging discipline and screen-readable workflows rather than hardware budgets.

Can drivers sell from the van like a mobile POS?

They can sell with a connection, and this is the question to be exact about because the answer shapes the route. A van sale decrements van stock and rolls into the nightly reconciliation alongside deliveries, so stock and money close together per route — but selling requires a connection on both the web app and mobile, so a van going out of coverage cannot take a sale while it is out there. What does work with no signal is stock movement: transfers, check-out and check-in, and asset movements. If your routes run through genuine dead zones, plan selling around coverage rather than assuming the van carries a till.

How does this connect to the warehouse and the books?

Natively — van load-outs are transfers from depot stock, job materials post to job costs, field payments land on invoices, and fleet costs post per vehicle. The field is a set of locations in the same governed system, not a satellite app.
