Route sales and invoicing for wholesale distributors.
Safar puts your routes, invoices, payments and van stock in one place. Your reps work from their phones. You see the whole business from the office.
If you run routes on paper, you know these three.
Paper invoices
Written by hand at the store, typed up again at night. One smudged line and the total is wrong.
The spreadsheet
What each store owes lives in a file one person understands. When a customer calls, nobody else can answer.
The vans
Stock leaves the warehouse in the morning. What is still on each van by the afternoon is a guess.
One day on a route, start to finish.
An example day. Each step is something Safar does today.

Plan the routes and assign reps
Pick the stops for each rep, put them in driving order on a map, and the day is on their phone before they start the van.

Load the vans
Move stock from the warehouse to each van. Safar keeps a count for the warehouse and for every van, so you know what left the building.

Invoice on the phone, with or without signal
The rep builds the invoice at the counter. In a back room with no signal it is saved on the phone and uploads by itself when the signal returns.

Send it before leaving
Invoices and estimates go out as a PDF by email, under your business name.

Built with a distributor in Denver.
Safar was built with a wholesale distributor in Denver, on their routes and in their warehouse. It is the system they run their business on.
Safar means journey in Urdu.
Every route is one. Out in the morning with a full van, back in the evening with the invoices sent and the payments counted.
