    SimplyDepo is a strong VIP beverage software alternative for growing beverage and CPG distributors that need orders, routes, deliveries, retail execution, and QuickBooks Online sync in one mobile platform. It is especially suited to teams that want a faster rollout and broader CPG support without a large enterprise suite.
    SimplyDepo focuses on the complete field workflow: mobile ordering, route management, proof of delivery, payments, merchandising, a B2B portal, and accounting sync. VIP provides a broader beverage-industry ecosystem. The right choice depends on whether the team needs specialized enterprise data exchange or a unified field-first platform.
    VIP does not publish standard software pricing, setup fees, or contract terms on its website. Request a current quote based on the products and services required. SimplyDepo starts at $89 per rep monthly or $69 per rep monthly when billed annually, with a 30-day free trial, onboarding, data import, and training included.
    Most SimplyDepo implementations are completed in 3 to 5 business days. Customers, products, pricing, routes, users, and workflows are imported and configured before guided team training. Distributors with specialized supplier feeds should review those integration requirements before setting the migration date.
    Yes. SimplyDepo supports order entry, customer-specific pricing, route dispatch, signed proof of delivery, payment collection, credits, returns, and accounting sync. Beverage reps and drivers can also capture shelf photos, surveys, and store-visit activity from the same mobile app.
    SimplyDepo supports integrations through its Open API and Zapier. Teams that rely on VIP-specific supplier feeds, three-tier reporting, or specialized compliance workflows should document those requirements during evaluation. SimplyDepo can then confirm which workflows are supported directly or through an integration.
    Yes. Beverage reps can take shelf photos, complete display and placement audits, record GPS-verified check-ins, and assign follow-up tasks during the order visit. Managers receive a documented store record instead of managing merchandising in a separate system.
    Yes. Orders, credits, notes, photos, and delivery information save on the device when service drops in receiving bays, cellars, coolers, or rural routes. The mobile app syncs the work automatically after the phone reconnects.
    Yes. SimplyDepo provides a native two-way QuickBooks Online integration for customers, products, orders, invoices, and payments. This helps beverage distributors keep field activity and accounting records aligned without relying on CSV exports or manual re-entry.
    Look for feedback on beverage-specific workflows, supplier and compliance integrations, implementation, mobile usability, support, and total cost. Distributors serving other CPG categories should also confirm that the selected VIP products fit their broader operation.
