Van Sales
Predictiv Van Sales powers the route-to-market operations that drive African commerce. From FMCG distribution to beverage delivery, our van sales solution enables salespeople to sell, deliver, and collect payment in a single visit—even in areas with no connectivity.
Built for the market in Africa realities, our van sales module handles cash, mobile money, and credit sales. Offline-first architecture means your team keeps working regardless of network availability. GPS tracking and route optimisation ensure efficient coverage of your territory.
Challenges We Solve
Real problems faced by van sales businesses—and how Predictiv addresses them.
Connectivity Gaps
Sales routes cover areas with poor or no mobile network; cloud-only solutions fail.
Offline-first architecture stores all data locally; syncs automatically when connectivity returns.
Cash Management Risk
Sales reps carry significant cash; reconciliation is error-prone; theft risk is real.
Real-time cash tracking, mandatory reconciliation, mobile money integration reduces cash handling.
Route Inefficiency
Unplanned routes waste fuel; coverage is inconsistent; some customers neglected.
Route planning, GPS tracking, and visit scheduling ensure systematic territory coverage.
Stock Visibility
Reps don't know what's in the van; stockouts and returns create customer frustration.
Real-time van inventory, load-out management, and return processing provide full visibility.

EcoCash, M-Pesa, and other mobile money platforms integrated natively. Reduce cash handling, improve security, and serve customers without bank accounts.
