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. You get all of it.

Every order priced above your real cost.

AI-integrated

Paste 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.

Oversight & Compliance

13 capabilities
  • Audit trail explorer

  • Activity timelines

    Purchase orders, sales orders, and invoices each keep a human-readable log of every action taken on them.

  • FSMA-aligned receiving

    Check-in → inspection → QC → supervisor approval, in that order, before anything reaches inventory.
