What is DSD Software for Business Central?

Direct Store Delivery (DSD) is the process of delivering products directly from a manufacturer or distributor to a retail store, bypassing the traditional distribution center. For companies running Dynamics 365 Business Central, managing DSD operations requires a mobile solution that bridges the gap between your ERP and your field teams.

Dynamics Mobile's DSD software for Business Central is purpose-built for this challenge. It extends Business Central into the hands of your delivery drivers and sales reps, giving them everything they need to execute a full DSD route — from van loading to final proof of delivery — without needing a constant internet connection.

Core DSD Capabilities

  • Route Planning & Load Management: Pre-load van inventory from Business Central, confirm loads on mobile, and resolve discrepancies before the route begins.

  • Order Capture at the Point of Sale: Sales reps can take orders, check stock availability, apply customer pricing, and create invoices on the spot.

  • Direct Store Delivery Execution: Deliver pre-sold orders, capture delivery confirmations, and handle partial deliveries or returns in real time.

  • Proof of Delivery (POD): Capture digital signatures, photos, and GPS timestamps at the point of delivery. All POD data syncs back to Business Central automatically.

  • Van Sales & Route Accounting: End-of-day cash reconciliation, route settlements, and return-to-warehouse workflows — all managed within the mobile app.

  • Offline-First Reliability: Entire DSD workflow functions without connectivity. Data syncs automatically when the device reconnects.

Why Business Central Needs a Dedicated DSD Solution

Standard Business Central does not natively support DSD workflows. The ERP is designed for back-office operations — not for the speed and mobility demands of a DSD route. Delivery drivers need a simple, fast mobile interface. Sales reps need real-time pricing and inventory. Route managers need live visibility into what's happening on the road.

Without a purpose-built DSD solution, companies rely on paper-based processes, disconnected spreadsheets, or costly custom development. Dynamics Mobile eliminates this gap by extending Business Central's data and logic directly to field execution — with no middleware, no separate database, and no manual reconciliation.

DSD for FMCG, Beverage, and Pharma Distribution

Dynamics Mobile's DSD software is deployed across some of the most demanding distribution verticals:

  • Beverage Distribution: Manage keg deposits, empties returns, and mixed pallet deliveries with Business Central integration.

  • Food & FMCG: Handle short shelf-life products, variable weights, and high-frequency delivery routes with speed and accuracy.

  • Pharma Distribution: Maintain compliance with batch tracking, serialization, and delivery verification requirements — all logged in Business Central.

  • CPG Route Sales: Support presales and van sales models simultaneously, with full inventory visibility across all routes.

  • How It Integrates with Business Central

    Dynamics Mobile connects natively to Business Central via standard APIs and a certified AppSource extension — no third-party connectors or ETL pipelines required. All master data (customers, items, pricing, routes) flows from Business Central to the mobile app. All field transactions (orders, deliveries, PODs, returns) sync back in real time or on reconnect.

    The result is a single source of truth for your distribution operations — from warehouse to shelf.
