Zendera

One system, full chain

From order intake to proof of delivery — Zendera covers every step of the food & beverage delivery chain, so information never disappears between systems, people or paper.

One system, your way
  1. Planning

    Plan routes that respect delivery windows, capacity, driver knowledge and customer needs.

  2. Terminal

    Help the warehouse get the right goods onto the right truck.

  3. Driver

    Give drivers route order, delivery notes, access instructions and proof of delivery on one screen.

  4. Receiver

    Keep customers informed with live updates, self-service details and digital confirmation.

  5. Analysis

    Use every delivery to understand what happened and improve the next one.

  6. Reporting

    Bring together delivery performance, deviations, emissions and customer-level data when you need to report or improve.

Route Planning & Optimisation

Continuous, automatic optimisation that adapts as clients, seasons, and patterns change. Built in collaboration with leading universities to close the well-known gap between route optimisation in theory and what works in practice.

  • Master route plan management: keeps your plan alive as conditions change
  • Holistic optimisation: balances km, driver workloads, time windows, and capacity
  • Driver interaction: drivers contribute knowledge, creating buy-in not resistance
  • Continuous monitoring: the system proves its own ROI with real data

Terminal Operations

The terminal is where the plan meets reality. Orders change, volumes shift, and your warehouse team needs to handle it without calling the transport office every ten minutes. The terminal module gives them that control, right on the warehouse floor.

  • Route sequencing that matches delivery order
  • Move orders between routes on the warehouse floor
  • Scan-based colli management: pallets, trolleys, green/red boxes
  • Vehicle loading confirmation before departure

Full warehouse-to-vehicle tracking:  every pallet, trolley, and box accounted for before the truck leaves.

Driver App

Every driver arrives prepared. The Zendera driver app gives them everything they need: turn-by-turn navigation, delivery instructions with photos, access codes, and real-time communication with dispatch.

  • Turn-by-turn navigation optimised for delivery vehicles
  • Delivery instructions, photos, and access details per receiver
  • Driver can update routes and share local knowledge
  • Real-time communication with dispatch

Receiver Experience

Your delivery experience is your brand experience. Zendera gives your receivers (retail stores, restaurants, institutions) a professional, modern delivery process that builds trust and reduces disputes.

  • Live ETA updates: receivers know exactly when the driver arrives
  • Receiver self-service: check and update delivery details before arrival
  • Digital freight bill: everything confirmed digitally, with damage reports and photos
  • 100% paperless: eliminates paper freight bills entirely

The competitive advantage most won't expect:  While other TMS vendors focus on what happens behind the scenes, Zendera improves the experience your customers actually see.

Analytics & Reporting

Every delivery generates data. Zendera turns that into actionable insights: CO₂ emissions tracking, on-time performance, cost analysis, and continuous improvement recommendations.

  • CO₂ emissions data: real measurements, not estimates
  • On-time delivery performance tracking and trends
  • Cost analysis and savings quantification
  • Driver performance and workload balance insights

Common questions

How is Zendera different from a generic TMS?

Zendera is purpose-built for food & beverage wholesale, not adapted from a generic platform. We understand temperature requirements, tight delivery windows, receiver-specific workflows, and cargo carrier management. Our team has spent 2,000+ hours in delivery vehicles, warehouses, and transport offices understanding these exact challenges.

Do we have to switch to full optimisation immediately?

No. Zendera offers a full spectrum, from completely static routes to fully dynamic optimisation. Start with what you're comfortable with and move at your own pace. Many customers begin with their existing routes and gradually increase automation as trust grows.

How does Zendera prove its ROI?

The system continuously monitors and measures its own impact. Real results from our customers include delivery precision lifted from 78% to ~97% (BC Catering Skanderborg), daily planning time cut from 2 hours to 30 minutes (Vectura), and overtime reduced by 50% across an equivalent half-year period including the Christmas peak (Vectura).

What happens after we sign up?

We don't sell software and disappear. You get hands-on onboarding that extends beyond training, proactive performance reviews, and continuous improvement support. Our team stays close through the critical first months and beyond. This is why we have 0% customer churn.

What size fleet does Zendera work for?

Zendera serves food & beverage wholesalers with 10 to 100+ vehicles. From growing regional players to national distributors. We currently operate across Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Iceland, and are expanding into new European markets.

How long does implementation take?

Typically 4–8 weeks from kickoff. Our onboarding is hands-on; we work alongside your planners, dispatchers, and drivers until the system is fully adopted. This is a partnership, not a login-and-good-luck handover.

Does Zendera handle temperature-controlled deliveries?

Yes. Zendera is built for food & beverage wholesale, where temperature management is fundamental. The system considers vehicle types, product categories, and temperature requirements when planning routes. This isn't a bolt-on feature; it's wired into how routes get built.

How does the emissions reporting work?

The system automatically calculates CO₂ per delivery, per customer, and per route, from actual operational data, not estimates. When a retail chain asks for an emissions report or you need data for ESG reporting, it's available in a few clicks.

Every step feeds the next

Planning data flows into terminal operations. Driver execution feeds back into optimisation. Receiver confirmations close the loop. Analytics prove the value. One source of truth, no integration headaches.

Book a reference meeting

See Zendera in action at a real food & beverage operation. We'll arrange an on-site reference meeting where you can ask their team how it handles daily routes and temperature zones. No pressure, no pitch decks. Just an honest look at how it works.
