A closer look at our Mobile Distribution Software
Explore the key features of Vision’s mobile distribution software, designed to enhance your distribution operations with real-time tracking, seamless order management, and more.
Vision ePod
Vision ePOD brings a whole new dimension to your distribution and logistics operation. No longer do your delivery drivers need to carry around scrappy bits of paper on which customers must scribble their name - ePOD replaces paper with an electronic handheld device.
ePOD is an electronic proof of delivery system which integrates directly into your Vision Distribution application to provide real-time data feeds between your drivers and central office.
How it Works
Delivery plans are set within Vision Distribution by your office staff and transferred in real time to your drivers.
As the driver makes deliveries, you will receive updates as to your driver's location and deliveries they have made, as well as any problems they may encounter, such as delays due to traffic.
These updates are fed directly into Vision Distribution which automatically recalculates the ETA for the driver's remaining deliveries, updating your customers on when they can expect their packages.
Features
Here’s how Vision Distribution streamlines delivery operations and enhances real-time communication:
- Drivers' daily manifests are transferred automatically to their handheld device
- Vision Distribution is updated in real time for deliveries completed
- Remaining delivery times are re-calculated automatically based on calculated time between postcodes
- Electronic transfer for customers signature and acknowledgement

Vision Flex
Vision Flex takes the strength of Vision Warehousing onto the warehouse floor. Whether in the form of a handheld device or fork truck mounted tablet, the solution is flexible to meet your needs.
Flex comes in two flavours: the standard version is designed for full management and operates on a tablet, and the lite version is designed for smaller mobile devices, providing a picking interface for the warehouse operators.
The design of Flex takes into account the fact that warehouse environments may not make it possible or viable to use Wi-Fi in all locations. The design is such that the unit stores the information until it can establish a Wi-Fi connection again and the service communicates between the handheld and the server.
Standard Version
The standard version is designed to perform daily routines for stock management, goods in, and goods out, without the need for a fixed base. It provides many features tailored for the target businesses and presents them in an optimised format for a mobile device such as a tablet.
Standard features are:
- Goods inwards/receipting
- Booking overview
- Pre-advice
- Location put-away
- Confirm arrival & departure
- Stock management
- Location changes
- Record losses & damages
- Stock check creation & reconciliation
- Stock enquiry
- Location enquiry
- Order management and picking
- Order overview Single order pick allocation
- Bulk pick allocation & confirmation
- Despatching / Goods outwards
- Single pick confirmation
- Bulk pick re-pick confirmation
- Collections from warehouse
- Signature capture for collections
Lite Version
This version is designed specifically with the order picker in mind, where the task is to ensure that the correct goods are located, picked, labeled, and removed from stock. The process is designed to be managed centrally with the order picker being allocated orders or bulk orders to be picked.
How it works
Because we realise that not all warehouses are alike and this do not necessarily follow the same processes, the software can be configured to meet your requirements - for example, you may use location check digits or you may not use barcode stock labels.
Vision Flex is flexible enough to provide you with the solution you need whilst not requiring specialist hardware to do so.
- Order picker checks device for allocated tasks
- The user then chooses the start location (not all warehouses are straight lines)
- Scan of location confirms picker is in the right place
- Handheld displays items to be picked, which are then confirmed by scanning the stock label
- Quantity is then displayed
- Picker then confirms stock quantity & number of labels required
- Goods are then taken to consolidation area
- Final order pick confirmation carried out
Flex Voice
Flex Voice is an add-on module allowing you to integrate voice pick technologies within your warehouse.
