  • The buyer portal and delivery are priced as separate add-ons
  • Portal pricing and onboarding depend on configuration

  • Field activity surfaces after orders reach the back office

RETAIL EXECUTION & PHOTO REPORTING

Prove merchandising at every store visit

  • Photos and audits on the store record

    Capture shelf photos, forms, and audits during the sales visit, with every result stored on the customer record.

  • Camera-only compliance mode

    Require live photos and block gallery uploads when a retail partner needs documented proof, then share a link without building a report.

  • GPS-verified store check-ins

    Each visit is timestamped and location-stamped at check-in, giving managers coverage without continuous tracking.

ROUTE MANAGEMENT

Sequence paid orders and prove each drop

  • Routes built from paid orders

    Turn confirmed orders into sequenced stops and track signatures, photos, and GPS proof through delivery.

  • Signed proof at the drop

    Capture signature, photo, and GPS at delivery and keep it on the account, so proof of delivery rides with the order.

  • Delivery bundled, not billed apart

    Route planning, van restock, and delivery confirmation come with the per-rep plan, not a separate delivery product priced by driver.

B2B WHOLESALE PORTAL

Give buyers a 24/7 portal with customer-specific pricing

  • Self-service reordering

    Give buyers a branded self-service portal with account pricing, order history, and live invoice status.

  • Portal bundled, not quote-only

    The buyer portal comes with the per-rep subscription, so there is no separate configuration quote before customers can order online.

  • Shared catalog across rep and portal

    The catalog, pricing, and promotions reps use match buyers online, so orders stay correct across channels.

    SimplyDepo is a strong OrderWerks alternative for CPG and distribution teams that need more than mobile order entry. It combines offline ordering, route planning, delivery, retail execution, a B2B buyer portal, and native QuickBooks Online sync in one platform for field reps and managers.
    Both platforms support mobile ordering and QuickBooks workflows. SimplyDepo adds retail execution, delivery routes, proof of delivery, payments, and a branded B2B portal within the same operating platform. OrderWerks may be a better fit for teams that require its specialized industry compliance or QuickBooks Desktop workflows.
    Yes. Reps can build multi-line orders, use customer-specific catalogs and pricing, scan products, add notes, and capture photos without a connection. The mobile app stores the work on the device and synchronizes it automatically when service returns.
    SimplyDepo provides a native two-way integration with QuickBooks Online for customers, products, orders, invoices, and payments. It does not provide a native QuickBooks Desktop integration. Teams that must remain on Desktop should review API or Zapier options before switching.
    Yes. Reps can capture shelf photos, complete surveys and audits, record GPS-verified check-ins, and create follow-up tasks during the order visit. The merchandising record remains attached to the customer instead of being managed in a separate tool.
    Yes. Managers can plan routes, reps can take orders, drivers can capture proof of delivery and payments, and buyers can reorder through a branded portal. All channels feed the same customer, product, order, and accounting records.
    OrderWerks lists base pricing at $60 per user monthly, with onboarding starting at $2,500 and delivery and B2B portal capabilities priced separately. SimplyDepo starts at $89 per rep monthly or $69 per rep monthly when billed annually, including routes, delivery, a B2B portal, onboarding, data import, training, and a 30-day free trial.
    Most SimplyDepo implementations take 3 to 5 business days. Customers, products, price lists, routes, users, and historical information are imported before workflows are configured and the team receives guided training.
    Yes. Growing CPG and distribution teams are a core fit for SimplyDepo. Published per-rep tiers decrease as the team grows, while ordering, delivery, retail execution, the buyer portal, data import, onboarding, and training remain part of the platform.
    Review offline ordering, QuickBooks connectivity, the B2B portal and Enroute add-ons, implementation, support, and total cost. CPG distributors should also confirm whether retail execution, shelf audits, GPS check-ins, and photo reporting require another system.
