In short
SalesPort van sales handles vehicle load-out, on-van stock, direct billing at the retailer's door, returns, and end-of-day reconciliation on one offline-first app. Closing stock matches sales without a manual count, and head office sees every van's throughput and cash in real time.
Why van sales leaks money
In direct van-sales (ready-stock) distribution, stock leaves the depot on a vehicle and gets sold across a route. Without a system, nobody can tie what was loaded to what was sold, returned, and deposited — so shrinkage hides in the gap, reconciliation is a manual end-of-day argument, and a van doing 8 productive calls when the route supports 25 looks the same as one running at full potential.
The result is lost throughput, untracked returns, and cash that spends too long in too many hands before it reaches a bank.

The specific workflows and screens that solve it.
2
Direct sales + instant invoice
Reps sell and invoice at the retailer's door, print a thermal receipt or share a PDF over WhatsApp, and the on-van stock decrements in real time.
3
Returns at the door
Damaged, expired, or rejected stock is captured with reason codes and photos, feeding straight into reconciliation.
4
End-of-day reconciliation
Closing stock, sales, returns, and cash reconcile automatically — the van ties out without a manual count, and mismatches surface immediately.
5
Cash deposit with OTP
Collections are deposited with OTP confirmation and reconciled against bank credits, cutting cash-in-transit exposure.
What tighter van sales is worth
Lifting each van from single-digit productive calls toward the route's real potential, plus recovering 2–3% of throughput lost to shrinkage, typically pays for the platform several times over. Use the van-sales calculator to model your own fleet.

Van Sales — FAQs
Does it support pre-sales and van-sales both?
Yes — pre-sales (book now, deliver later) and direct van-sales (sell from on-vehicle stock) run on the same platform.
How does van stock reconcile?
Load-out, sales, and returns decrement on-van stock in real time, so closing stock equals opening minus sales plus returns — no manual count needed.
Can reps print invoices in the field?
Yes — Sunmi thermal receipts at the door, or a PDF invoice shared over WhatsApp.
Does it work without network?
Yes, it's offline-first; transactions sync when the device reconnects.
How does it reduce cash risk?
Collections are deposited with OTP verification and reconciled against bank credits, shrinking cash-in-transit time.
