Stock / Dispatch / Deliveries
One order. Several packs.
An order’s packs may be stored in different places, but the customer needs them together. Link each pack to the order so stores and dispatch can check what’s ready and what’s still missing.
Stock and loading
Your deliveries on rails.
Tessera tells operators what to load first and where to find it on the shop floor. Follow the loading order, scan each pack onto the correct vehicle and check the scanned load against the order before it leaves.
- See the next packs to load and their locations
- Check each pack against the assigned vehicle
- Confirm every expected pack is on board
Deliveries
Plan the run, for one day or several.
Plan single-day and multi-day delivery runs across small or large fleets. Tessera’s optimiser allocates orders and sequences stops using travel times, vehicle capacity and driver hours. Review and adjust the plan before dispatch.
- Automatically allocate orders and sequence stops
- Keep multi-day runs together in one plan
- Give drivers the addresses and instructions for each stop
- Oakfield Joinery Day 1
- Westbrook Homes Day 1
- The Mill Workshop Day 2
Proof of delivery
Every stop recorded
Tessera shows drivers what to deliver next and which packs were loaded for that stop. They scan those packs off the vehicle to check nothing is missed, then capture photos and the customer’s signature.
Completed details return to the back office for record keeping. Once a run is loaded, driver tools work offline and send saved scans, photos and signatures when a connection is available.

Start with your existing kit.
Tessera is cloud hosted and runs in a browser on compatible computers, tablets and phones. There’s no on-premise server to buy or maintain, and you can import orders from your existing system.
Use compatible scanners or a supported device’s camera, and add inexpensive kit where you need it. A compatible Zebra printer is an optional addition for regular labels, with print software running on an existing computer. The print software works anywhere with an internet connection, so you can set up printers across different buildings or sites.
