The Challenges Distributors Face

Most distributors don’t struggle because they lack data — they struggle because their routing data is fragmented, reactive, or disconnected from warehouse and order realities. Common challenges include:

• Routes built without full visibility into order readiness or stop-level constraints
• Last-minute changes that disrupt drivers, warehouses, and customers
• Limited ability to test or compare routing scenarios without impacting live operations
• Little insight into why routes perform the way they do — or how to improve them

BizStride was designed to bring structure, visibility, and flexibility to routing — without overcomplicating the day.

Who BizStride Is For

BizStride is built for beverage distributors who live in the reality between planning and execution — where routes change, volumes fluctuate, and service expectations stay high. It supports teams that need structure without rigidity and insight without complexity.

BizStride is especially valuable for:

Operations and Logistics Leaders
Teams responsible for daily routing, warehouse coordination, and delivery execution rely on BizStride to create achievable routes, manage change without disruption, and keep operations moving smoothly throughout the day.

Distribution Management and Leadership
Leaders focused on cost control, service consistency, and scalable growth use BizStride to understand route performance, evaluate strategic changes, and make confident decisions backed by data.

Organizations Outgrowing Manual or Static Routing
Distributors who have moved beyond spreadsheets, static route templates, or reactive processes find BizStride provides the flexibility and visibility needed to support growth without adding operational strain.

Teams Seeking Better Alignment Across Departments
BizStride helps bridge gaps between warehouse operations, routing teams, and delivery execution by ensuring everyone is working from the same operational reality.

Whether managing a regional footprint or preparing for expansion, BizStride supports distributors who want routing that reflects how their business actually operates — today and tomorrow.

Daily Routing

Execute Every Day with Confidence

Daily routing is where planning meets execution. BizStride’s Daily Routing tools help teams build, adjust, and finalize routes that reflect what’s actually happening — not what was planned days ago.

With BizStride, distributors can:

• Build routes using current order data and warehouse readiness
• Make controlled adjustments without disrupting the entire routing plan
• Respond quickly to late orders, cancellations, or delivery changes
• Maintain consistency for drivers while adapting to real-world conditions

The result is a daily routing process that feels less reactive and more deliberate — giving teams confidence that routes are achievable, efficient, and aligned with operational realities.

Daily Routing: Common Questions

How does BizStride support last-minute changes during the day?
BizStride allows routing teams to make targeted adjustments without rebuilding entire routes. This flexibility helps teams respond to real-world disruptions — like late orders or customer changes — while minimizing downstream impact on drivers and warehouse operations.

Will daily routing changes confuse drivers or disrupt consistency?
BizStride is designed to balance flexibility with stability. Adjustments are intentional and controlled, helping maintain predictable routes while still allowing teams to adapt when necessary.

Who typically manages daily routing in BizStride?
Daily routing is commonly handled by operations or logistics teams who need real-time visibility into orders, readiness, and delivery constraints to confidently finalize routes.

Route Planning

Plan Ahead Without Risk

Effective routing doesn’t stop at today. BizStride’s Route Planning capabilities allow distributors to evaluate future scenarios, test changes, and compare outcomes — all without impacting live routes.

Distributors use Route Planning to:

• Model new routes or territory changes
• Compare proposed routing against current performance
• Evaluate the impact of volume shifts, new customers, or operational changes
• Identify opportunities to reduce miles, rebalance workloads, or improve service

By separating planning from execution, BizStride empowers teams to make informed decisions with confidence — turning route planning into a proactive, strategic function instead of a guessing game.

Route Planning: Common Questions

Can route planning be done without affecting current operations?
Yes. BizStride separates planning from execution, allowing teams to model and evaluate changes without disrupting live routes or daily delivery schedules.

What types of scenarios can distributors test?
Teams commonly evaluate territory adjustments, customer growth, seasonal volume shifts, delivery frequency changes, and route rebalancing opportunities.

How does route planning support long-term growth?
By understanding how routes perform today and how changes may impact tomorrow, distributors can scale more confidently without introducing unnecessary inefficiencies.

Route Analytics

Understand Performance. Improve Continuously.

Knowing how routes perform — and why — is essential for long-term improvement. BizStride’s Route Analytics provide clear, actionable insights into routing performance over time.

With Route Analytics, teams can:

• Analyze route efficiency, stop density, and mileage trends
• Identify patterns that impact service, cost, or driver workload
• Compare planned routes to actual execution
• Use data to support operational decisions and continuous improvement

These insights help distributors move beyond assumptions and make routing decisions grounded in measurable performance — supporting smarter planning and stronger execution.

Route Analytics: Common Questions

What types of performance metrics does BizStride analyze?
BizStride focuses on operationally meaningful metrics such as mileage, stop density, route efficiency, and execution trends over time — helping teams understand what’s working and where improvement opportunities exist.

How do analytics support better decision-making?
Instead of relying on anecdotal feedback, teams can use performance data to justify changes, validate improvements, and prioritize initiatives with measurable impact.

Can analytics be used for continuous improvement, not just reporting?
Yes. Route Analytics are designed to inform planning, refine daily execution, and support ongoing optimization — not just static reporting.
