About this project

Food and drink distributors live with short shelf lives and tight delivery windows. Spreadsheets and disconnected depot systems make it hard to know what can actually be promised to a customer.

Tallyhouse brings stock, purchasing and customer orders into one system across every depot. Allocation follows date rules automatically, and the warehouse works from a live picking board.
