Food Distribution

Deliver fresh.
Not delays.

Cold chain logistics, route delivery, merchandising, produce quality — one platform for temperature monitoring, proof of delivery, and compliance.

Sound familiar?

Temperature excursions caught after the fact

A load arrives warm and nobody noticed during transit. By then the product is wasted and the customer is furious. Real-time temp alerts prevent this.

Driver merchandising not tracked

Drivers stock shelves and rotate product but there's no proof of work. Customers dispute charges and your team can't verify what was done.

FSMA compliance documentation scattered

Temperature logs in one system, delivery receipts in another, training records in a binder. An FDA audit means days of document hunting.

Everything a food distribution operation needs

Designed around food distribution workflows — not generic field service bolted together.

Cold Chain Monitoring

Log temperature readings at pickup, in transit, and at delivery. Configure thresholds per product category with automatic excursion alerts.

Temperature Alert System

Real-time notifications when readings exceed thresholds. Dispatch is alerted immediately so corrective action can be taken before product is lost.

Proof of Delivery

Capture photos and collect digital signatures at every delivery stop. Records are linked to orders and available instantly — no more disputed deliveries.

Route Merchandising Tracking

Drivers log shelf stocking, product rotation, and display setup with photos. Prove the work was done and bill accurately for merchandising services.

FSMA Compliance

Digital records for temperature monitoring, delivery receipts, driver training, and vehicle sanitation. Generate audit-ready reports for FDA inspections.

HOS/DOT Tracking

Track hours of service per driver with automatic limit warnings. DOT inspection records, vehicle maintenance, and certifications in one place.

Frequently asked questions

How does temperature monitoring work in RouteForge?

Drivers log temperature readings at pickup and delivery from the mobile app. Configure alert thresholds per product category — if a reading exceeds the limit, the system flags it immediately and notifies dispatch. Full temperature chain history is stored for FSMA compliance.

Does RouteForge help with FSMA compliance?

Yes. RouteForge maintains digital records for temperature monitoring, proof of delivery, driver training, and vehicle sanitation. Generate audit-ready compliance reports for FDA inspections with timestamps, photos, and digital signatures.

How does proof of delivery work?

Drivers capture photos and collect digital signatures at every delivery stop from the mobile app. Proof of delivery records are linked to the order and available instantly in the dashboard — no more lost paper receipts or disputed deliveries.

Does RouteForge track driver HOS and DOT compliance?

Yes. The HOS module tracks hours of service per driver with automatic warnings before limits are reached. DOT inspection records, vehicle maintenance logs, and driver certifications are all managed in one place with expiry alerts.

Does RouteForge work on mobile without downloading an app?

Yes. RouteForge is a progressive web app (PWA) that works in any mobile browser. Drivers open it on their phone to see their route, log temperatures, capture proof of delivery photos, and collect signatures — no app store download needed.
