Food Distribution Software That Cuts Spoilage
Solid Route Accounting™ runs your food distribution end to end — lot tracking, quality surveys, inventory management, route sales, and ERP sync — so fresh moves first and nothing leaks margin.
Where Food Distributors Lose Margin
Without purpose-built tools, fresh inventory, manual paperwork, and missed deductions silently drain profit every single week.
Spoilage & Shrink Eating Margins
Expired SKUs, broken cold chain, and weak inventory control turn fresh inventory into write-offs — silently destroying margin every week.
Manual Orders & End-of-Day Chaos
Paper invoices, phoned-in orders, and hand-keyed cash-outs cost drivers hours and create reconciliation nightmares for the office.
Deductions, Promos & Lost Revenue
Promotional pricing, returns, and chargebacks bleed profit when no system is tracking what was promised vs. what was paid.
No Recall Readiness or Lot Visibility
When a recall hits, scrambling through paper records puts your brand — and your retailer relationships — at serious risk.
One Platform. Every Food Route.
Snacks, Candy & Grocery
Shelf-stable DSD with promos, slotting, and store-door delivery for c-stores and grocers.

How Solid Route Accounting™ Solves It
Every feature is engineered for the realities of fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable distribution — from quality checks to flexible pricing to cash-out.
Organized Food Delivery Routes
Plan and organize every stop — grocery, c-store, restaurant, and foodservice — so trucks roll efficiently and every account is served on schedule.
Real-Time Food Inventory
Track SKUs across trucks and supply warehouses. Barcode scanning speeds up transaction creation, reduces waste, and keeps stock levels accurate.
Quality & Temperature Checks
Use Solid Survey™ to capture truck temperatures and quality logs at every stop, ensuring safety standards from warehouse to back door.
Mobile Tools for Route Staff
Equip your route team with Solid Sales Pro™ for instant invoicing, order entry, signature capture, and real-time sync from the truck.
ERP & Accounting Integration
Seamlessly sync with QuickBooks, Sage 100, SYSPRO, and more. Pricing, inventory, and AR stay accurate across systems — no double entry.
Route Sheets & Load Sheets
Speed up customer orders by using customer par levels. Route Sheets reduce manual entry and ensure reliable, predictable deliveries every week.
Stop the Quiet Bleed of Spoilage, Returns & Deductions
Food distribution margins live and die in the details. See exactly where product, money, and time leak — then plug every hole with route-level reporting built for fresh and frozen DSD.

Trusted by Food Distributors
What used to take hours now takes seconds. All accounts receivable statements are ready to go immediately, accounts payable became a snap, and I no longer enter invoices till 11:30 at night.
My route sales reps are each saving at least a half hour every day with Solid’s system. My staff think it’s great!
With manual invoices, our sales staff were doing $2500 - $3000 a day. With computer-generated invoices, they are writing $4000, $5000 or $6000 a day in my territory. There’s no way in the world they could have written that by doing manual invoices.
