The platform

Seven parts of one platform, receiving to oversight. You get all of it.
Every order priced above your real cost.
AI-integratedPaste a texted order and Vona reads it, matches it to your catalog, and anchors every line to the oldest lot's true landed cost, with live margin as you price. Anything below cost is flagged for a reason before it books. Pricing stops being a guess made at 5 a.m. and becomes a decision made with the number in front of you.
Replaces: pricing from memory · month-end margin surprises
Wrong pallets stop leaving the dock.
Pickers claim orders on a phone and scan the actual pallet and lot, so the right product is verified before it moves. Substitutions and shortages are flagged to the sales desk in a tap instead of discovered at the customer's door. The count in the system stays the count on the floor.
Replaces: printed pick sheets · mystery shrink
Arguments end with a timestamped photo.
The driver's phone captures item-by-item confirmation, photos, and an on-glass signature at every stop, and door payments are recorded against the invoice on the spot. When a customer says it never arrived, you settle it with evidence, not a credit.
Replaces: he-said-she-said credits · lost paper PODs
Invoices leave with the truck.
Bill straight from the order the moment it delivers, record payments with proof attached, and watch receivables age in real time: what's outstanding, who pays slow, how long money takes to arrive. Your accountant gets clean, complete numbers instead of a shoebox.
Replaces: invoice batching nights · surprises in the aging report
More volume. Same office.
Nothing is re-keyed between the dock, the desk, and the books, so growth stops meaning another hire to shuffle paper. Proven by replacing our own 98,000-line first build in live production, without stopping the floor it ran.
Replaces: another back-office hire per growth spurt

60 capabilities, live in production today, in plain language. If it isn't listed here, we don't claim it.
Receiving
11 capabilities- Purchase orders
Create and track supplier orders from draft through received, with every status change logged.
- Supplier directory
Vendors, references, and purchase history kept in one place.
- Receiving QR codes
Every purchase order prints a QR code; scanning it at the gate links the arriving truck to the right order instantly.
- Truck check-in & yard
Check trucks in, assign dock doors, and see the whole yard at a glance; double-booking a dock is blocked automatically.
- Appointment calendar
Inbound deliveries scheduled, rescheduled, flagged, and documented in one calendar.
- Receiving & QC inspection
Every inbound line is inspected, pass or fail with photos and notes, before a supervisor signs off.
- QC-gated inventory
Product becomes sellable inventory only after quality sign-off, never automatically.
- SQF truck inspections
Food-safety inspection of each arriving truck, recorded with a downloadable report.
- Back-dock fast lane
Trucks that skip the yard check in at the dock with driver and safety details and a one-tap confirm.
- Short-ship tracking
Lines that never arrived are flagged as not received, so counts and QC stay honest.
- Post-QC corrections
Received quantities can be corrected after sign-off with a visible “was X” trail. No silent edits.
Warehouse & Inventory
10 capabilities- Lot-based inventory
Every pallet gets a lot with barcode, expiration, origin, and cost, traceable from dock to door.
- Guided stocking
Warehouse staff stock from a phone at the rack: pallets, layers, zone, and printed pallet labels.
- FIFO pick queue
Picks are recommended oldest-first by expiration, so product rotates the way it should.
- Scan-verified picking
Pickers claim orders on a phone and scan each lot barcode, so the right lot leaves the building.
- Substitution flags
When a picker has to substitute, it's flagged to the office instead of silently swapped.
- Multi-lot order lines
One order line can pull from several lots and stays traceable per lot.
- Voice pick codes
Four-digit check codes printed on labels, for warehouses that run voice picking.
- Barcode & GTIN labels
GS1-128 case labels and GTIN support for PTI-style traceability.
- Inventory adjustments
On-hand quantities corrected with a reason, and the change lands in the audit trail.
- Margin-aware lots
Lots carry landed cost, so margin health and below-cost warnings follow the product wherever it's sold.
Sales Orders
8 capabilities- Smart order captureAI-integrated
Paste a texted or emailed order and VonaAI binds it to the real catalog: quantities, prices, and margins filled in for review.
- Build-an-order mode
Take an order live in three steps (items, prices, lots) while the buyer is still on the phone.
- Live margin guard
Every line shows its margin from real landed cost and flags anything priced below cost before confirming.
- Order lifecycle tracking
Orders move draft → confirmed → picking → picked → loading → shipped → delivered, with the full history kept.
- Review & release
Confirmed orders are reviewed and released to the pick queue, so nothing ships unchecked.
- Multi-store customers
One customer, many ship-to stores; each order carries the right store automatically.
- Forgiving catalog search
Type-ahead product search that tolerates typos and partial names.
- Returns to resale
Approved returns restock as tracked return lots that salespeople can sell the same day.
Shipping
3 capabilities- Load planning
Build outbound loads and assign a company driver; the truck and carrier details ride on all the paperwork.
- Pick tickets
Printed singly or in bulk, straight from the queue.
- BOL revision tracking
If orders change after a bill of lading prints, the change is flagged, so sent paper never silently drifts.
Delivery
6 capabilities- Driver delivery view
Drivers see today's load, every stop, and every item on their phone. No printed manifest.
- Proof of delivery
Item-by-item review, delivery photos, and an on-glass signature captured at the door.
- Payment at the door
Checks or cash collected at delivery are photographed on the spot; the office reconciles them into payments.
- Returns at the door
Rejected product is recorded at the stop and rides back into the returns flow instead of getting lost.
- Live delivery monitor
The office watches stop-by-stop progress while drivers work the route.
- Signed-paperwork archive
Proof-of-delivery documents, photos, and signatures stored with each delivery and retrievable later.
Billing & Money
9 capabilities- Automatic invoicing
Invoices generate from shipped orders with sequential numbering, ready to print or hand off.

Seven built-in roles with per-user permission grants, managed by the owner from the team page.

Owners decide which modules each role can even see, from a single matrix.

Deletes and resets demand a reason and leave a full snapshot in the audit log.
- Document identity
Every invoice, BOL, purchase order, and pallet number is permanent; traceability never reshuffles.
- FSMA-aligned receiving
Check-in → inspection → QC → supervisor approval, in that order, before anything reaches inventory.
