For many trade suppliers, delivery is no longer a simple “load it on the truck and send it out” process. Customers want updates. Staff need to know what has been picked, loaded and dispatched. Drivers need clear instructions. Accounts and sales teams need proof that the delivery was completed.
That is why Foresiight is introducing a new integration between ProfiitPlus and Detrack, designed to help stock-focused businesses connect sales, dispatch and delivery management in a more practical way.
The integration is especially relevant for businesses such as landscape yards, hardware stores, auto parts suppliers, rural and trade suppliers, and other businesses that run their own delivery vehicles. These businesses often manage a busy mix of counter sales, account customers, urgent jobs, variable delivery instructions and customer expectations – all while trying to keep stock, staff and vehicles moving.
Delivery management for trade suppliers
Trade-supply deliveries can be complex. A landscape yard might need to deliver soil, mulch, sand or aggregates by truck, with delivery notes, site instructions and customer contact details. A hardware or building supplier may need to send timber, tools, fasteners or special-order items to a job site. An auto parts business may need to supply urgent parts to workshops, retail customers or trade account holders.
In these environments, the delivery process often starts inside the ERP or POS system. Staff create the sale, confirm the customer details, add items, apply delivery charges, record delivery instructions and prepare the order for dispatch.
Without connected systems, the next step can become manual: retyping details into another platform, calling drivers, updating spreadsheets, chasing paperwork, or waiting for someone to confirm whether the delivery was completed.
The goal of the ProfiitPlus and Detrack integration is to reduce that double handling and give teams a clearer delivery workflow from sale through to proof of delivery.
What is Detrack?
Detrack is a delivery management platform built to help businesses plan, dispatch, track and confirm deliveries. Its platform includes tools such as live driver tracking, route planning, customer notifications, fleet management and electronic proof of delivery.
For businesses running their own vehicles, this can be a strong fit. Instead of relying only on phone calls or paper delivery dockets, teams can use Detrack to allocate jobs to drivers, monitor progress, provide delivery updates and capture proof of delivery such as signatures, photos, timestamps and location data.
That makes Detrack particularly useful for businesses that want better control over the “last mile” – the point where a sale leaves the store, branch, yard or warehouse and becomes a customer delivery.
How the ProfiitPlus and Detrack integration helps
ProfiitPlus already brings together POS, sales orders, stock control, purchasing, customer management and accounting in one connected system. The new Detrack integration extends that connected approach into delivery management.
At a high level, the workflow is designed to support the practical delivery cycle:
- A sale or order is created in ProfiitPlus.
- Items, quantities, customer details, delivery details and delivery charges are captured.
- The order is marked as requiring delivery and prepared for dispatch.
- Delivery details can be sent to Detrack for driver allocation, route planning and delivery tracking.
- The delivery is picked, loaded and dispatched.
- The driver captures proof of delivery when the job is completed.
- Delivery confirmation can be reflected back against the business workflow, helping staff close the loop.
The benefit is not just technical integration. It is operational clarity. Sales staff, dispatch teams, drivers and managers can work from a more connected view of what has been sold, what needs to be delivered, what is already on the road and what has been completed.
Why this works well for landscape yards
Landscape and garden supply businesses deal with delivery complexity every day. Bulk materials may be sold by tonne, cubic metre, trailer, bucket or bag. Delivery instructions can vary from one site to the next. Customers may need updates when trucks are running behind, and staff need confidence that the right material has been loaded and delivered.
For a landscape yard, a connected ProfiitPlus and Detrack workflow can help keep the counter, yard and delivery vehicle aligned. The order begins in ProfiitPlus, where stock, pricing, customer details and delivery information are managed. Detrack then supports the delivery side, helping teams allocate jobs, optimise routes, keep customers informed and capture proof once the delivery is complete.
Why it suits hardware stores and building suppliers
Hardware stores, timber yards and building suppliers often run a mix of retail, trade counter and account sales. A single day might include small-item deliveries, timber drops, special orders, urgent trade requests and scheduled runs to building sites.
These businesses need delivery processes that are accurate but still fast enough for a busy counter. By connecting ProfiitPlus with Detrack, delivery details can move more smoothly from the sales workflow into dispatch. Staff can reduce re-keying, drivers can receive clearer job information, and customers can receive better visibility over their deliveries.
Why auto parts and other trade suppliers can benefit
Auto parts, motorcycle parts and marine suppliers often manage large inventories, fast-moving items and time-sensitive customer requests. When workshops, trade customers or branch locations are waiting on parts, delivery visibility matters.
A connected delivery workflow helps these businesses move from “has that left yet?” to a more confident answer. Orders can be prepared in ProfiitPlus, dispatched through Detrack, tracked while in progress and confirmed with delivery evidence once completed.
The same logic applies across many trade-supply sectors: irrigation and pumping, tools and industrial supplies, rural and farm supplies, safety and workwear, and wholesale distribution. Any business running its own vehicles can benefit from better handover between sales, stock, dispatch and delivery confirmation.
Key benefits for day-to-day operations
- Less double handling: Delivery details can move from the sales workflow into the delivery management process more efficiently.
- Better dispatch visibility: Staff can see which orders are awaiting delivery, allocation, loading, dispatch or completion.
- Clearer customer communication: Delivery tracking and notifications can help reduce “where is my order?” calls.
- Proof of delivery: Signatures, photos, timestamps and location details can support better accountability and fewer delivery disputes.
- Smarter fleet use: Route planning and driver allocation can help businesses make better use of their own vehicles.
- More connected records: Delivery completion can support cleaner follow-up, invoicing and customer service workflows.
A practical integration for stock-focused businesses
The best integrations are not just about connecting software. They are about removing friction from everyday work.
For trade suppliers, the delivery process touches multiple parts of the business: sales, stock, purchasing, accounts, customer service, dispatch and the driver on the road. When those steps are disconnected, small delays and mistakes can quickly become customer service issues.
The new ProfiitPlus and Detrack integration is designed to help close that gap. It supports a more connected path from order entry to delivery completion, giving teams better visibility and customers a more professional delivery experience.
Connect delivery management with your ERP workflow
If your business runs its own vehicles and wants better control over deliveries, this integration may be a strong fit. It brings together the operational strength of ProfiitPlus with Detrack’s delivery management tools, helping your team manage orders, dispatch, tracking and proof of delivery with less manual work.
