Tenace Incubation: Scaling a Fast-Moving Beverage Incubator with SimplyDepo’s Mobile Order Management

Company Overview

Tenace Incubation is a fast-growing beverage incubator focused on launching new products into local retail. The company acts as a launchpad for early-stage beverage brands, getting energy drinks, protein drinks, and functional beverages into stores before they hit mainstream distribution.

Working with a hands-on sales approach, their field reps visit stores, place orders, print invoices, and track sales performance directly from the field. But as the company scaled rapidly, its internal tools and workflows couldn’t keep up.

The Challenge

Manual order handling was slowing down the team. Sales reps needed to print invoices on-site, apply discounts on the fly, and make changes when customers updated their requests—all without returning to the office or juggling spreadsheets.

“Before SimplyDepo, I couldn’t even delete an order. If something changed, I had to redo everything manually and remember not to count that order in the final reports.”

 

— Laura Mendez, Tenace Incubation

Key limitations before SimplyDepo:

❌ No ability to edit or delete orders after submission

❌ Frequent mismatches between invoices and what was delivered

❌ Manual report cleaning and reconciliation

❌ Hard-to-track discount logic and rep performance

❌ No centralized tool for reps in the field

This was especially painful for a business handling dozens of small-batch beverage orders daily, where agility and accuracy are critical

The Solution

Tenace Incubation implemented SimplyDepo’s all-in-one mobile solution for field sales and order management. The transition allowed their growing team to:

✅ No ability to edit or delete orders after submission

✅ Frequent mismatches between invoices and what was delivered

✅ Manual report cleaning and reconciliation

✅ Hard-to-track discount logic and rep performance

✅ No centralized tool for reps in the field

This was especially painful for a business handling dozens of small-batch beverage orders daily, where agility and accuracy are critical.

“Now, when something changes mid-order—which happens a lot—we just update and resend. Everything is clean and synced.”

The Results

Since adopting SimplyDepo, Tenace Incubation has improved both rep productivity and operational efficiency. Key performance improvements include:

• 70%

  Reduction in order corrections

• 100%

  Invoice accuracy achieved

• 3x

  Faster rep workflows

Why It Works

Tenace Incubation thrives on agility. With SimplyDepo, the team can now handle complex field workflows without friction. Whether reps are updating invoices, onboarding new stores, or reviewing their own sales history, — it all happens in one place.

“Our team is growing fast. SimplyDepo helped us keep the process clean without slowing anyone down. It’s like having the structure of a big distributor, but built for how we actually work.”

What’s Next

As Tenace Incubation brings more early-stage beverage brands into the market, the team plans to expand coverage across Southern California. With SimplyDepo powering the field sales experience, they’re confident in their ability to scale without losing control or speed.
