Your truck day takes five hours.
It should take two.
TruckDay turns delivery morning into a checklist your whole crew works at once. Import the order, check off every case from your phones, and walk away with the shorts already written up.
Set it up in a few minutes, on the phones your crew already carries. No card, no hardware, no contract.

Delivery morning, as it actually goes
The pallet lands. Someone has the invoice on a clipboard. Someone else is counting out loud. Half the crew is standing around waiting to be told what to do, and the driver wants a signature.
Four hours later the truck is gone and nobody is quite sure what was short. The credit claim gets filed from memory, or late, or not at all — and the cases you paid for and never received quietly become a cost of doing business.
None of that is a counting problem. It's a coordination problem. Eight people can't share one clipboard, so seven of them wait.
Do the arithmetic on your own store
Don't take our word for the saving — put your crew, your hours and your wage in and watch what comes out. We've stacked every assumption against ourselves.
We assume your delivery drops to 2½ hours — the longest one we measured, not the average — and that you keep the same crew. Shorts you recover aren't counted at all.
That's $49,362 a year of payroll, on one store, that currently walks off the dock.
Three steps, and the last one is already done
- 01
Import the order
Paste or upload the manifest from your wholesaler's portal — AG, McLane, Core-Mark, J. Polep, Pine State, Sysco and the rest. Columns are detected for you. Out-of-stock lines are dropped before anyone counts them.
- 02
Put the whole crew on it
Everyone opens the same delivery on their own phone. Type the last few digits off the box, or point the camera at the case label and let it read the number. Counts sync live, so two people scanning the same case can't double it.
- 03
Walk away with the paperwork done
Shorts, overs and anything not on the invoice are already listed. Copy the exceptions report, send it for credit, and the whole delivery stays in the store's history.
It reads the case label
On-device OCR finds the printed item number on the box and checks it off — buzz, green flash, next case. Nothing is uploaded; the engine runs on the phone in your hand.
Everyone counts at once
Six people on one pallet, six phones, one running total. A chip shows how many are on the delivery, and when anyone finishes, every phone moves to the review screen.
Backroom Wi-Fi can drop
Every count is applied instantly and queued. Crash the browser, lose the signal, drop the phone — nothing is lost, and it syncs the moment the network comes back.
The shorts report writes itself
The thing you actually need from delivery morning: a plain list of what didn't arrive, ready to paste into a credit claim, instead of a memory and a clipboard.
Not just the grocery truck
Beer, soda, snacks, bread and dairy all show up on their own trucks with their own invoices. Case barcodes are unpacked to the number your invoice actually lists, so DSD checks in like anything else.
Phones you already own
No scanner guns to buy, no hardware to install, no back-office PC. If you'd rather use a Bluetooth scanner you already have, pair it and it just works.
The questions we always get
- My crew isn't technical. Will they actually use it?
- It is one screen with big targets: type three digits, tap the card, or point the camera. It was built to be used one-handed at six in the morning in a cold backroom by someone whose other hand is holding a case — that is the entire design brief, and everything else was cut to serve it.
- Do I need to buy anything?
- No. It runs in the browser on the phones your crew already carries, and installs to the home screen like an app. A Bluetooth barcode scanner works if you have one, but nothing needs it.
- What about beer, soda and bread?
- Those check in the same way. DSD cases carry a manufacturer barcode rather than a wholesaler item number, so TruckDay unpacks the case code down to the number your invoice actually lists and matches on that.
- What does it cost?
- Nothing today. We're working directly with our first stores rather than selling a plan off a page, so getting set up is a conversation — tell us about your deliveries and we'll take it from there.
- Is my invoice data safe?
- Every workspace is isolated at the database level, not just in the interface — each company's data is fenced off by row-level security policies, and staff only see the stores you grant them.
Your next delivery is the one to try it on
Import the manifest, put the crew on it, and let the shorts write themselves up. One delivery is enough to know.
