Best DSD Software for Distributors in 2026

An honest comparison of the top Direct Store Delivery platforms. We built Sanji because we saw what was broken — here's how everyone stacks up.

Why distributors choose Sanji

Modern Mobile UI

Driver-proof design with big buttons, one-handed use. Not a desktop app crammed into a phone.

Flexible Pricing Engine

Volume discounts, BOGO, mix-match, customer tiers, and stacking rules that actually work at point of sale.

Delivery Windows

Per-customer windows by day of week. Routes auto-sequence to hit every window on time.

Real-Time Dispatch

Pipeline view of every order from creation to delivery. See your entire operation on one screen.

QuickBooks Sync

Bi-directional sync — invoices, payments, credits, customers, and products flow automatically.

Offline-First

Full functionality without internet. Orders, payments, signatures — everything works offline and syncs when connected.

Spanish-First

Built for bilingual teams from day one. Not an afterthought translation.

Transparent Pricing

$25/mo per driver, $45/mo per manager. No hidden fees, no enterprise sales calls.
