New: Customer Portal is here. See it live

The platform

Sketch of a produce operation drawn as connected stations: a receiving check on an open crate, tall racks of stacked produce, an order desk, a loaded pallet jack, a semi truck at the dock, and a doorway handoff, all linked by one continuous pencil line

Seven parts of one platform, receiving to oversight.

Every order line shows its margin.

Vona matches the orders you type or paste in to your catalog and prices them. Every line shows its margin against the oldest lot's landed cost. A line priced below cost needs a typed reason before the order saves. 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

Scan-verified picking.

Pickers scan the pallet they take, and Vona checks it's the right product. Substitutions and shortages are flagged to the sales desk in a tap instead of discovered at the customer's door.

Replaces: printed pick sheets · mystery shrink

Arguments end with a timestamped photo.

The driver's phone runs the stop: every item accounted for, full, short or returned, with photos and an on-glass signature captured as proof. 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

54 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 links the arriving truck to the right order.

  • Truck check-in & yard

    Check trucks in, assign dock doors, and see your docks' trucks on one live board; double-booking a dock is blocked automatically.

  • Appointment calendar

    Inbound deliveries scheduled, rescheduled, flagged, and documented in one calendar.

  • Receiving & QC inspection

    Every product on the truck is inspected at the dock, with photos when you take them, before it can become stock.

  • QC-gated inventory

    Nothing from a supplier becomes sellable stock until a supervisor signs off its inspection.

  • SQF truck inspections

    Each inbound truck can get an SQF inspection at the dock, with the inspector, the time, the photos and 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.

Warehouse & Inventory

9 capabilities
  • Lot-based inventory

    Approved lots land with cost and origin, and an expiration date where one is given.

  • 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 scan the pallet they take, and Vona checks it's the right product.

  • 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.

  • 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

    Every line shows its margin against the oldest lot's landed cost.

Sales Orders

8 capabilities
  • Order entry

    Vona matches the orders you type or paste in to your catalog and prices them.

  • 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

    A line priced below cost needs a typed reason before the order saves.

  • Order lifecycle tracking

    Orders move draft → confirmed → picking → picked → loading → shipped → delivered.

  • 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

    Returns come back as their own labeled lot, ready to price and resell once they're inspected.

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

5 capabilities
  • Driver delivery view

    Drivers see today's load, every stop, and every item on their phone. No printed manifest.

  • Proof of delivery

    Each item marked delivered, short or returned, with delivery photos and an on-glass signature captured at the door.

  • Returns at the door

    Rejected product is recorded at the stop and rides back into the returns flow.

  • 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.
