# How To: The Distribution App (Delivery)

_By Brandon Munn · Mar 4, 2025_

Once the **Distribution App** has received the order information, it can be used offline without an internet connection until orders have been distributed, at which point it requires a connection to update BrewMan. If the app is used with an internet connection, it will automatically update BrewMan with any changes recorded in the **App**. 

In order to access **Deliveries** , click on **Distribution App** at the bottom of the main menu in **BrewMan**.

This will open the delivery app in a new window, the app is designed to be used on a mobile device or a device that has a camera so that QR codes can be scanned for traceability. Once on the app, click on **Delivery**.

Now, select your **Journey** by clicking the **Vehicle** you will be using.

The next screen displays a map of the **Journey** with a list of every stop. This will be in the order that was optimised in the **Delivery Planning** screen. 

Click **Start Journey** , then complete the **Vehicle Checks**.

**Vehicle Checks:**

-   Vehicle Registration is shown to make sure you are on the correct Journey.
    
-   Enter your **Start Odometer Reading** to record in the system.
    
-   Confirm whether you have **Performed Weekly Checks, Performed Monthly Checks** and that the **Vehicle is Fit For Purpose.**
    
-   Then either toggle the laoding list check to yes (if done prior to using distribution app) or click on **view loading list** and it will automatically toggle this.
