Ice Cream Distribution Software for Faster Sell-Through
Solid Route Accounting™ gives ice cream distributors lot-level traceability, route-by-route visibility, and freezer-side mobile tools — so every pallet is tracked and every route turns a profit.
Why Ice Cream Distributors Lose Margin
Frozen distribution is unforgiving. A few melted pints, a missed stop, or a lost lot record can wipe out a whole route's profit.
Spoilage & Untracked Returns
Melted pints, damaged novelties, and returns from freezers eat margin fast — and paper credit slips never tell you which SKUs or routes are bleeding.
Wild Seasonal Swings
Summer demand explodes, winter goes quiet. Without trip-level history, you over-order in the cold months and stock out in the heatwave.
Novelty SKU Sprawl
Cones, pints, bars, multipacks, sandwiches, premium tubs — managing hundreds of seasonal SKUs and limited drops on paper is a recipe for chaos.
Slow Paper-Based Routes
Hand-written route sheets and end-of-day reconciliation cost your route sales staff hours — time better spent at the next freezer.
How Solid Route Accounting™ Solves It
Every feature listed below ships in Solid Route Accounting™ today — built for the realities of ice cream distribution.
Route Sheets with Sales History
Route salespeople see each customer's sales history, returns, and on-hand quantities right on the mobile — Solid Sales Pro™ even suggests an order quantity based on historical data and quantities entered on the route sheet.
Lot Number Tracking
Track lot numbers on every product sold — full chain-of-custody for recall response and supplier disputes.
Truck Load Sheets
Build par levels for every freezer truck so route salespeople leave the warehouse with the right SKU mix for their route, every time.
Solid Sales Pro™ on the Truck
Invoices, credits, customer orders, payments, and proof-of-delivery with signature capture — all from an Android or iOS device, online or offline.
ERP & Accounting Integration
Native sync with QuickBooks Desktop, QuickBooks Online, Sage 100, Solid Business Central™, and SYSPRO keeps pricing, inventory, and AR accurate.
Trip & Stop Analysis Reports
See exactly where reps drove, which customers were visited (or missed), invoice values, and last-visit dates — route-level visibility on one map.
Lot Traceability, Returns & Depletion Insight
Lot-Level Traceability
Capture lot numbers at the time of sale — instant recall response and full chain-of-custody.
Return Goods Tracking
Route sales staff assign return codes to melted, damaged, or expired product — the system automatically makes the correct inventory adjustment.
Stock Depletion Reports
Daily or trip summaries show which novelties are flying off the truck and which to pull — no more guessing on restocks.
Track Every Pint, Lot, and Return
Frozen margins die in melt, damage, and untracked returns. Solid Route Accounting™ gives you lot-level traceability, multi-location inventory, and product return code workflows — so every pallet is accounted for from warehouse to freezer.
- Lot Number Tracking on every product sold — full chain-of-custody for recall response and audits
- Multi-location Inventory Control across warehouses and trucks, with mobile stock counts and stock transfers
- Return Goods Tracking with return codes — automatic inventory adjustments for melt, damage, and expiry
Win Summer. Survive Winter.
Ice cream lives and dies by the season. Trip Reports, Stop Analysis, Cash Out, and Stock Depletion reports surface what's selling on which routes — so you order, staff, and stock for peak heat without bleeding cash in winter.
- Trip Reports map every stop your reps made — see route performance month over month
- Stop Analysis shows which customers were visited, which were missed, and last-visit dates
- Stock Depletion and Cash Out reports reveal which novelties and pints sell hardest on each route
Turn Every Freezer into a Profit Center
Your freezers are your storefront. Capture planograms, take photos, run customer surveys, and let retail accounts reorder themselves — so reps spend their time selling, not transcribing.
- Picture Attachments let reps capture freezer placement, damages, and competitor activity from the truck
- Planograms and customer files in variouse formats load on every mobile for in-store reference
- Solid Survey™ runs custom freezer-check questions on every visit — and Solid Sales Pro™ lets reps manage customer orders
