Simplifying Route Execution and Inventory Tracking for High-Volume Fleets

Streamlined last-mile delivery with an intelligent mobile solution, driving 100% accuracy and zero paper use

Context

Grocery Supply Company (GSC) is a Texas-based wholesale distributor serving convenience stores and independent retailers across nine states. The client operates its own fleet and handles a high volume of deliveries each day. However, the delivery process relied entirely on handwritten paperwork for tracking product counts, returns, and signatures. This made it difficult to ensure accuracy, slowed down updates to internal systems, and limited visibility for back-office teams.

Challenges

  • 100% reduction in paper use, eliminating manual records

  • 30% faster delivery processing, improving daily route efficiency

  • 100% accuracy in inventory tracking during deliveries and returns

  • Digital proof of delivery improved traceability and accountability

Results

Closeloop developed a custom mobile application specific to GSC’s delivery operations. The app provided drivers with a guided workflow based on product types, built-in offline support, route mapping, and digital proof of delivery—all within an interface designed for simplicity and speed. It eliminated manual paperwork and made every step of the delivery process easier to manage, track, and verify.

Solution

  • Drivers logged deliveries, returns, and counts using handwritten notes

  • No structured way to handle different product categories like tobacco, bulk goods, and low-value items

  • Paper-based signatures made proof of delivery hard to verify

  • Returns and discrepancies were difficult to track and reconcile

  • Drivers manually tallied item counts, leading to frequent errors

  • Delivery routes often had limited or no connectivity

  • No map-based view of delivery routes or stops
