When efficiency ends at the warehouse door
Since 2009, Vos Banket, a well-known Dutch producer of more than 350 artisanal pastry products, has relied on the Produmex Warehouse Management System from Boyum IT to keep its warehouse running efficiently. The impact was remarkable: tasks that once required a team of ten can now be handled by just three to four employees.
Yet while the warehouse was highly digitalized, the proof of delivery (P.O.D) process still relied heavily on paper. Drivers carried printed delivery notes, collected signatures manually, and recorded returns by hand. This led to delays in invoicing and inventory updates, sometimes stretching over several days.
Closing the gap with B1Fox
To eliminate these inefficiencies, Vos Banket turned to B1Fox, its long-term SAP Business One and Boyum IT partner. Together, they identified the missing link: a simple way to digitize the “last mile” of the process.
The result was the Vos Banket Delivery App, a mobile solution designed specifically for drivers to handle all their deliveries and returns digitally.

With the Deliver App, drivers can:
- Access their route list.
- Display delivery notes digitally and capture the customer’s signature directly on a mobile device.
- Record returned items and pick-up goods like pallets, and carriers on the spot.
- Instantly sync all data back into SAP Business One and Produmex WMS in real time.
In the back office, staff can monitor in real time whether a delivery address has been visited and track the driver’s progress along the route.
Seamless P.O.D. for faster cash flow
The Deliver App has closed the final gap between warehouse and delivery. With every step fully digitalized, proof of delivery is now captured in real time, along with any returns. This means late invoicing is a thing of the past: as soon as a customer signs for the delivery, returns are registered and the invoice can be created immediately.
Vos Banket now issues one consolidated invoice per delivery, including returns, eliminating the need for separate, negative delivery notes.
Additionally, employees no longer have to spend valuable time on manual returns, freeing up time for other important tasks.
Strong partnership, lasting results
“We’ve supported Vos Banket for many years, optimizing their warehouse with Produmex WMS. With the Deliver App, we bridged the gap between goods issue, delivery, and returns. Now the data flow is seamless, and efficiency has been taken to the next level”,
says Niels de Vos of B1Fox.
The Vos Banket delivery app is also the first step for B1Fox towards creating a generic Delivery App for Produmex WMS customers seeking to optimize both their warehousing and delivery processes.
Together, Produmex WMS and the Delivery App demonstrate how digital warehouse management and real-time delivery solutions form a perfect pair for end-to-end operational efficiency.
