Van sales AI that answers from the vans, not from a guess
iotoms has an AI sales assistant built into the console. Ask it how a route did, which stores are over their credit limit, what stock won't last the week — in plain English, answered from your live workspace, with the data it checked stated on every answer.
What an AI sales assistant is for
Four questions a distributor asks every week. Each one used to mean a report, a phone call, or a spreadsheet at 9pm.
“How did Route 4 do yesterday?”
Route revenue, stops covered and day-close variance, from the van's own posted numbers.
“Which stores are over their credit limit?”
The list with balances, each one linked to the customer record.
“What are the top selling items today?”
A ranked table with units and revenue, live as the route runs.
“What stock won't last the week?”
Items whose current selling velocity outruns the stock on hand.
AI sales tracking, not an AI chat bubble
The assistant is part of the same system that posted the sale. It reads the live workspace through the business logic the console's own reports use — it does not re-derive your data model per question.
Ask in plain English
No report builder, no filter panel, no waiting on the office. Type the question the way you'd say it out loud and get figures, tables and links back.
Anomaly alerts
Unusual movement surfaces on its own — a register gone quiet mid-shift, a margin that jumped, a close variance off its normal pattern.
Reorder suggestions
Proposed purchase orders built from stock level, selling velocity and vendor lead time. You approve or edit — nothing orders itself.
Answers from the docs
“How do I set up a route?” is answered from the documentation, with deep links straight into the console screen you need.
Permission-scoped
The assistant sees exactly what the signed-in user sees. Role permissions and feature gating apply to answers like they apply to screens.
Shows its work
Every answer states which data it checked. Cross-check it against the report in ten seconds — that's what makes it usable on Monday.
Why most “AI for distributors” gets the number wrong
A chat box bolted onto a dashboard translates your question into a database query on the fly. It does not truly know your schema — it pattern-matches what a query like that usually looks like. When “late” is a derived calculation with grace periods and partial payments, or when catch-weight variance sits between the crate and the kilogram, the model picks a version that runs without erroring and returns a confident wrong number.
A wrong number that looks like a report gets acted on. That is the whole risk. The fix is not a smarter model — it is not letting the model guess at the data model in the first place.
The long version, with a depot that learned it the hard way →What makes an answer trustworthy
- Live workspace, not a nightly export.
- Defined business logic, not inferred schema.
- States which data it checked, every time.
- Scoped to what the signed-in user may see.
The AI is only as good as the system under it
iotoms is a full van sales platform first: routes and vehicles, catch-weight goods receipt, a multi-unit catalog, an offline-first Android field app, point of sale, procurement, accounting and 48 reports. One item master, one money engine, cents-precise from the van to the ledger. The assistant reads that — which is why its answers reconcile.
Van sales AI, asked and answered
What is van sales AI?
Van sales AI is an assistant that sits on top of your live van sales data — routes, stock on each van, payments and the ledger — and answers questions about it in plain English instead of making you build a report. In iotoms it lives in the console sidebar: you ask "how did Route 4 do yesterday?" and get route revenue, stops covered and close variance, with a note of which data it checked.
Is there an AI van sales app?
Yes. iotoms pairs an offline-first Android field app for reps on the route with a console whose AI assistant answers questions about what those vans did. The rep sells with no signal; the office asks the assistant what happened and gets figures from live workspace data.
What is AI sales tracking?
AI sales tracking means you do not go looking for the number — the system tells you when something moved. In iotoms that is anomaly alerts: a register gone quiet, a margin that jumped, a route whose close variance is off pattern. You still get the underlying figures so you can verify the alert rather than trust it.
Can AI tell me what stock to reorder?
Yes. The iotoms assistant proposes purchase orders from current stock level, selling velocity and vendor lead time, and will answer "what stock won't last the week?" with the items whose velocity outruns their stock. You approve or edit the proposed PO — nothing is ordered automatically.
How do I know the AI's answer is right?
Because it is not guessing at your database. The assistant reads the live workspace through the same defined business logic the console's own reports use, and every answer states which data it checked, with links into the screens the figures came from. A number you can cross-check in ten seconds is a number you can act on.
Can the AI see data a user is not allowed to see?
No. The assistant sees exactly what the signed-in user can see. Role permissions and feature gating apply to its answers the same way they apply to every screen in the console.
Do I need the AI to use iotoms?
No. Routes, catch weight, the offline field app, point of sale, procurement, accounting and all 48 reports work without ever opening the assistant. The AI is a faster way to ask the same system a question.
