SALES REP APP

Sell, invoice, and collect from one app on iOS or Android

  • Full iOS + Android parity

  • Customer pricing loads automatically

    Each account opens with the correct price list, product catalog, and credit terms already applied. Discounts stay tied to the account, not to a rep’s memory.

  • Offline field capture

    Orders, notes, and photos keep flowing when store connectivity drops, then sync back as soon as the signal returns.

    SimplyDepo is a strong LaceUp DSD alternative for growing food, beverage, and CPG distributors. It combines mobile order taking, route planning, invoicing, delivery, payments, retail execution, and QuickBooks Online sync in one platform for iOS, Android, and the web.
    SimplyDepo combines orders, routes, deliveries, retail execution, a B2B buyer portal, and QuickBooks Online sync in one field platform. LaceUp DSD organizes more functions across separate modules. SimplyDepo is designed for distributors that want one connected workflow with fewer systems to manage.
    LaceUp DSD does not publish standard pricing on its website, so distributors need a vendor quote for current licensing and implementation costs. SimplyDepo publishes pricing at $89 per rep monthly or $69 per rep monthly when billed annually, including a 30-day free trial, onboarding, data import, and team training.
    Most teams can go live with SimplyDepo in 3 to 5 business days. The process includes importing customers, products, pricing, and rep data; configuring routes, forms, and order rules; and training the team before launch.
