For DSD & frozen-route F&B manufacturers

Agentic AI ERP, one module at a time.

Tanel runs ordering, route planning, pricing, production, and invoicing for DSD and frozen food & beverage makers. Adopt the modules you need, plug them into the systems you keep, and let AI run the busywork.

Modular by design — turn on ordering, routing, or pricing independently. No rip-and-replace.
Agentic automation — standing orders, route optimization, and churn detection run themselves, nightly.
Drops into your stack — integrate alongside QuickBooks and your tools, or replace them module by module.

Why DSD teams switch

Paper, spreadsheets, and 3 p.m. phone orders work… until they don't.

You stitched together NCR forms, Excel, QuickBooks, and a route whiteboard. Every new customer adds another tab, another phone call, another reconciliation at midnight. Tanel replaces the parts you choose with modules that run themselves.

NCR forms and clipboards on every truck

Digital route sheets, box labels, and proof of delivery

Customers phoning in orders before dawn

A self-serve portal with standing orders and cutoff times

Reconciling spreadsheets against QuickBooks at midnight

Invoices generated at delivery, settlements posted same day

The modules

Nine modules. Run the ones you need.

Every Tanel module works on its own and snaps together with the rest. Start with ordering and pricing, add routing and invoicing when you're ready, and replace your spreadsheets one module at a time.

Live

Customer ordering portal

Customers self-order at their negotiated prices with cutoffs enforced automatically. Standing orders auto-generate nightly.

Live

Pricing engine

Base price lists, per-customer negotiated pricing with approvals, named tiers, and volume breaks.

Live

CRM & accounts

Account lifecycle, lead queue, nightly auto-churn, and address geocoding for routing.

Roadmap

Route planning & optimization

Optimized stop sequences with time windows and one-tap nav deep-links. No per-stop fees.

Roadmap

Production planning

Orders aggregate into tonight's build, with AI demand forecasting, safety stock, and recipe scaling.

Roadmap

Warehouse pick & pack

Digital pick lists per route, thermal-printed box labels, and reverse-order loading manifests.

Roadmap

Driver app

Proof of delivery, returns with photos, signatures, and payment collection on the driver's phone.

Roadmap

Invoicing & AR

Invoices generated at delivery for actual quantities — statements, aging, credit holds, and payments.

Roadmap

Returns & waste analytics

Log stales at the door, auto-issue credit memos, and track waste by customer, product, and route.

Live modules are in customer accounts today. The rest are rolling out through 2026.

01Ordering

Kill the 3 p.m. phone call.

Customers place their own orders in a portal built around your delivery schedule. Recurring orders generate themselves overnight, so the truck is loaded before anyone picks up the phone.

  • Self-serve portal at each customer's negotiated prices
  • Cutoff times enforced automatically — no late-order scramble
  • Standing orders auto-generated nightly, idempotent per delivery day
  • Editable until cutoff, skippable for holidays, one-click reorder

02Routing & Delivery

See every route. Shorten it. Run it from a phone.

Every customer lands on a live map the moment they're added. One click proposes a shorter stop order — you preview the miles saved before applying. Drivers open their route on any phone, navigate with the maps app they already use, and mark each stop delivered as they go.

  • Every customer on a live map, color-coded and filterable by route
  • One-click stop-order optimization — no per-stop or per-route fees
  • Drag to resequence; drivers get the new order instantly
  • Runs on any phone — no app store, one-tap Google/Apple Maps navigation

03Pricing

Every customer's price, handled.

Stop hunting through spreadsheets for who pays what. Base lists, negotiated overrides, tiers, and volume breaks live in one place — with an approval trail and margin visibility on every change.

  • Effective-dated base price lists for scheduled changes
  • Per-customer negotiated pricing with an approval workflow
  • Named discount tiers and volume break pricing
  • AI pricing recommendations from your cost and market data

04Invoicing & analytics

Books that close themselves.

The moment a delivery is confirmed, Tanel invoices the actual quantity, applies return credits, and posts to AR. Statements, aging, and waste analytics are waiting for you in the morning — no midnight reconciliation.

  • Invoices generated at delivery on actual quantities, not ordered
  • Statements, AR aging, and automatic credit holds
  • Returns post as credit memos the same day
  • Waste and stale-rate analytics by customer, product, and route

How it works

Order to invoice, every night, without the scramble.

  1. 01

    Orders come in

    Customers order in the portal or standing orders auto-generate. Cutoff times lock the day's demand.

  2. 02

    Production plans itself

    Orders aggregate by product into tonight's production schedule — quantities, batches, and buffers.

  3. 03

    Pick, pack, label

    Per-route pick lists and printed box labels replace handwritten NCR sheets.

  4. 04

    Load in reverse

    Loading manifests put the last stop deepest in the truck. No rearranging at the curb.

  5. 05

    Drivers deliver

    Stop-by-stop on mobile: confirm deliveries, log returns, capture signatures and payments.

  6. 06

    Books close themselves

    Invoices reflect actual delivered quantities. Settlements, credits, and AR post automatically.
