BlueCart vs inSitu Sales

BlueCart is wholesale business software connecting food and beverage distributors with restaurants, cafes, hotels, and other foodservice buyers. It combines a digital storefront, buyer-specific catalogs and pricing, order management, inventory tracking, delivery routes, invoicing, payment collection, and buyer CRM. Buyers and suppliers can create, track, and fulfill purchase orders, including recurring orders and invoice-to-PO matching. Endless Aisle shows vendor catalogs to buyers in their delivery areas, while Pricing Insights groups products as Great Value, Good Value, or Fair Value. BlueCart Pay supports credit card, bank transfer, and ACH payments, with invoice and payment status tracking. A sales rep app lets field teams view catalogs, manage buyer accounts, place orders, review order history, and check delivery status. BlueCart documents a REST API using AWS Signature authentication v4 and JSON responses; it handles one object per request and does not support bulk updates. The BlueCart for Buyers iPhone app requires iOS 15.6 or later. Pricing varies with selected features and is available on request.

inSitu Sales connects wholesale and DSD field sales with order management, warehouse work, delivery, B2B ordering, and ERP data. Reps can take orders and update customer information offline, then sync when connectivity returns. The field sales app handles orders, invoices, field payments, customer-specific pricing, and route planning. Warehouse tools cover picklists, barcode scanning, picking, packing, staging, inventory transfers, and cycle counts. Delivery functions include route optimization, driver tracking, delivery photos and signatures, proof of delivery, returns, and exceptions. A B2B portal provides assigned catalogs and price lists, self-service ordering and reordering, online payment options, and a branded web and mobile experience. Listed connections include QuickBooks, NetSuite, Dynamics 365 Business Central, SAP Business One, Odoo, Xero, Epicor, Siigo, Zoho Inventory, Fishbowl, and ShipStation; REST API, webhooks, and developer tools support approved custom projects.
