GBC Advanced Routing is the most powerful Route Management Software on the market for route distribution. We began by designing our system specifically for the ice and bottled water industry so we were able to put in features other distribution companies only dream about. Our customers needs and desires have been key in the development of the functions available.

Payments for Multiple CustomersHave you ever received a check from a company that pays other companies even though they are not related? Send statements to the individual customers, but code them so that you can pay off invoices from many customers from one payment screen with one check number.
AR MessageThe AR Message allows you to enter a message from the Customer Support Screen which will 'pop up' when Accounts Receivable enters the customer number in the Payment Entry Screen. This allows Customer Support personnel to relay a message to the person entering payments, either as information only or to indicate some action should be taken
Activity CalendarThe Activity Calendar allows you to view a graphical calendar of deliveries, payments, no takes, call ins and future scheduled delivery days.
Future Delivery CalendarThe Future Delivery Calendar allows you to view a graphical calendar of future delivery dates for any customer.  This calendar can be sent directly to the customer or merely used as a visual aid by your staff.
Analysis ChartsVisualize your data with our Charting Module. A few simple clicks produce bar charts, line graphs, and pie charts. Include any date range and you can even things out with the Weighted Averages function. Even the most computer illiterate will be able to click and produce charts that will give a better understanding of the business.
Custom ReportsAny special report you need can be created with the Custom Reports module. Create the report using easy point and click functions for both tables and columns, which can be saved for future use. Custom Reports even allows you to do cross tabs to analyze your data more easily.
Use Cust ListUse Custom Reports to create a report from any data chosen. Once created you can use a feature called 'Use Cust List' to automatically bring you to the Customer Support Screen with the specified list so you can scroll through each customer. This is ideal for calling customers on routes before delivery or targeting a special promotion to a certain area.  Check the COMPLETED box on the list as you go, save the list, and when you come back you can pick up right where you left off.
Mailing LabelsExpanded mailing label functions to include the ability to create mail merges for various label sizes and letters.  You can now print route cards, letters, or other documents that require a mail merge or document generated from the Customer Support Screen.  From the Label module, you can choose a standard Avery numbered label, or create your own size.
Scanned DocumentsYou can drag and drop documents into FileStorage for easy access to contracts, copies of checks, correspondence, spreadsheets, or almost any type document you can think of.  Open File Explorer in Windows and drag the document in for File Storage.  You can add a reference number (contract or work order number, etc) and a reference date for information and retrieval purposes.  Just double click on the item to view it in the same manner you would any document.
Data Entry FeaturesEasy access to most information from one Customer Support Screen. Unlimited number of telephone numbers for each customer. Customize views so you only see the data that you enter most of the time. Almost total access using a keyboard or a mouse Enter new data from a form, spreadsheet, or card view.
Route ManagementView all routes showing number of customers, last delivery quantities, dates as well as handheld, driver and truck information. Graphically manipulate delivery dates for all routes, or just one route. Set up delivery cycles by any number of days from 1 to 100, weekly cycles (one, two, three, four week cycle), Fixed Monthly such as 'every first Tuesday' cycle Slide holidays to ease the burden of delivery during holidays. Move customers or groups of customers between routes with drag and drop; see routes next to each other and move customers from one to the other; re-sequence by dragging customers to the right spot. View on screen whether routes have been sent to the handhelds and received or whether tickets have been printed.
Customer Map CoordinatesSend routes to Microsoft Mappoint to locate the longitude and latitude of each customer. Once complete, store those coordinates for instant recall.
Optimize RoutesCreate routes and send them to Mappoint before you run the route.  GBC Advanced Routing takes only the current customers on the route, plus any Call Ins for that route and optimizes them in Mappoint.

Get a call in history including a detail list in the Customer Support Screen. Assign the call in as incomplete, give it a driver number and delivery date and it automatically goes with the rout. Instantly see all outstanding or completed call ins.
Work OrdersCreate/schedule work orders from the Customer Support screen.  From Route Management you can create and print those scheduled work orders by a range of dates.  Print or send to the handheld for service personnel.
