bMobile Route Software LaceUp Solutions
Managing Inventory Multi-UOM with auto conversions across purchase, stock, sell, deliver Basic UOM support, but less seamless through the workflow

Running the Whole Operation One connected suite: inventory, orders, routes, CRM, time, warehouse — all in sync. Multiple modules, not always as unified.
Workflow Flexible and configurable for presales, van sales, or hybrid Fixed flow that expects your team to adapt

Key Competitive Advantages of bMobile

Superior Multi-UOM Support

bMobile doesn’t just support different units; it makes UOM foundational to every stage (purchase, stocking, picking, packing, selling, and delivery). This reduces errors (like case/each mismatches), improves stock accuracy, reduces wasted labor in conversions.

Time Tracking + Field Productivity Insights

The geofencing, stop timers, pick/pack/stop etc are especially helpful to drive operational efficiency. If your business is route-heavy or field rep heavy, knowing “where time is going” is very important.

Integrated End-to-End Workflow

The tighter coupling of order taking, returns, payments, routing, inventory, CRM, warehouse etc in bMobile seems more seamless. For example, a field rep can build a quote on-site, load the truck, fulfill, update inventory, all in one system.

Flexible Modularity with Unified Data Backbone

You can adopt modules gradually but have them share the same backend data and history. This reduces friction when scaling, reduces data silos, and reduces integration overhead.

Delivery Planner for Real-World Adjustments

Turns last-minute changes into a clean run.

  • Plan: Capture orders (rep, portal, shelf scan), build tonight's pick list, auto-sync to tomorrow's driver schedule.
  • Adjust: See live counts and smart suggestions, swap equivalents when short.
  • Deliver: Optimize route and load sequence, print invoices on-site, update inventory in real time.
