Not A RepZio Alternative: Chefs Reorder By Voice

Get each reorder after the sale straight from the chef, who says it into our app from that restaurant's order guide and looks over every item before it goes. RepZio stays your reps' tool for presentations and showroom orders, and B2B Direct stays your storefront.

Selling And Reordering

RepZio plus VoiceOrder Solutions.
The rep sells it once. The chef reorders it.

After the first sale, a restaurant's reorder is often the same handful of items, and it can still reach the rep by phone or by text. RepZio's tools win that first sale, and our app is for every repeat after it. Keeping both is the point: this is not a RepZio alternative, and the two run separately with no link between them.

After The First Sale

Why food distributors weigh a RepZio competitor

RepZio covers the whole sale: presentations, showrooms and trade-show orders, plus a storefront for approved buyers. A RepZio alternative with more selling tools would not change how a chef who still calls the rep reorders what the kitchen bought last week. If our app emails that reorder to you, it is entered by someone on your team, from items the chef confirmed one at a time.

Made for trade-show selling

RepZio comes from the company behind the Atlanta, Las Vegas and High Point trade-show markets, and its support pages help reps get ready for "market season". That is the selling it was built around. A restaurant, though, reorders from you every few days, all year round.
Integration icon

A weekly reorder needs no pitch

Presentations, flipbooks, bestseller lists and barcode-scanned showrooms help a rep make the sale. When a chef needs the same cases as last Tuesday, none of that gets used. Unless the restaurant reorders in B2B Direct, that reorder still reaches the rep as a call or a text.
Integration icon

RepZio's app is in the rep's pocket, not the chef's

RepZio's own app is made for reps, on iPad and iPhone: presentations, live stock and order writing, even offline. For customers, RepZio offers B2B Direct, a storefront the chef signs in to from a browser.
What You Get

Not a RepZio alternative: what it adds to the routine reorder

Dashboard mockup
Voice Ordering

No rep to reach, no call to return

From the walk-in or the office, the chef names what the kitchen needs. Our app matches each item to that restaurant's guide and lists them, so the chef can fix an item or an amount before sending. The chef never waits for a rep to call back.
Nothing goes out until the chef has looked at each item
A reorder can go in at 2am or on a holiday
Saves 20 to 30 minutes compared with the same order by phone
An interrupted order waits where the chef stopped
Order Guides

Each restaurant's regular items, in one guide

Send us the items each restaurant usually buys, and we load them as its own guide under your item numbers, so the chef picks from a short list, not everything you stock. Guides and their prices are yours to update in our admin, the same place you manage each account. Whether price changes can come over from RepZio or your ERP in bulk is a question for the demo.
Each restaurant sees its usual items, not every product you carry
Once a rep sells a new product, you can add it to that account's guide
Edit any restaurant's guide yourself, in our admin
Setup works from an export, not a RepZio login

Delivery Formats

Reorders reach you in a format your office already takes

A sent order reaches you by email as a PDF, Excel or Word file, or through EDI, our API or QuickBooks. It does not pass through RepZio, so it will not sit in a rep's order list or in B2B Direct's order history. Through EDI or the API, your ERP may take it in with no typing if it is set up for that, and the demo shows whether yours is. A QuickBooks order goes to your books only.
Emailed to a rep, or to the inbox your desk reads
Over EDI or the API, when your setup takes it, nobody retypes it
The file holds only what was approved in the app
Picking and delivery run the way they do today
Inventory Visibility

Stock in view beside each day's reorders

VoiceOrder Solutions gives you real-time inventory visibility tied to order activity. It does not replace your stock system: that stays in charge, and a demo shows how the levels connect.
Stock numbers come from the system you count with today
Fewer stockout surprises for your order desk
Reps still see RepZio's live stock on visits
Buying from your own suppliers stays with your team

Getting Started

From a guide export to the first spoken reorder

Your team sends the products each restaurant buys from you. We build the accounts, and every chef puts our app on their phone.
1

Export each account's regular items

A spreadsheet from your ERP or from RepZio is usually all we need, listing every account's regular products and prices.
2

Restaurant accounts go live

We load the restaurant's guide into our admin and open its account. For most restaurants, the first order comes the same day.
3

Reorders arrive just as the chef sent them

Each order from the app has its own number and the time it was sent. A reorder still phoned to a rep gets no number from us.

"I used to spend hours every week ordering food. Now it's simple, super easy, and I have free time to spend on other aspects of my restaurant."

Orders go out in the formats distributors already use

Each order leaves VOS as an email with a PDF, Excel or Word file, an EDI or API feed, or a QuickBooks entry. No one has to switch software to receive it.

Sell With One, Reorder With The Other

RepZio for the sale, our app for the repeat order

This is not an alternative to RepZio: every tool your reps use to win an order stays put, and we only handle the reorders that follow.
Integration icon

Reps keep presentations, scanning and payments

Flipbooks, showroom barcodes, card capture and the rest stay in RepZio, and so does any ShopZio listing you run. Nothing in your reps' app changes.
Integration icon

Storefront buyers can stay on B2B Direct

B2B Direct lets an approved customer sign in, open favorites and reorder at any hour, and restaurants happy doing that should stay on it. The app is for chefs who still reach for the phone to tell the rep each order.
Integration icon

Rep orders keep their own way to your ERP

Orders taken by your reps at a trade show or on the road keep going to your ERP through RepZio's own integrations, just as they do now. Nothing we add sits in that path.

See a routine reorder come in with no rep on the phone

In a 20-minute walkthrough we say a sample weekly reorder, fix one product on the review screen, send it, then show you the PDF your office would receive. Then we look at where it would land beside RepZio and your ERP.
FAQ

What sales teams on RepZio ask us

Do I need a RepZio alternative for spoken reorders?
No. RepZio stays in your reps' hands for presentations, showroom selling and the storefront. What changes is the reorder a chef phones or messages to the rep today: now it is spoken in our app, checked by the chef and sent.
Is VoiceOrder Solutions better than RepZio?
At one job: letting a chef send the usual restaurant order unaided, spoken and then looked over, with no rep in between. Winning the account, showing new products and selling at trade events are RepZio's work, so we stay alongside it and are not a RepZio alternative.
A rep just sold a restaurant something new. How does it get on their list?
Your team adds it to the guide for that restaurant in our admin. Once it is there, the chef can say it along with the rest of the reorder and see it listed before sending. The rep still makes the sale in RepZio, as now; our app only handles what the kitchen orders again.
Is it linked to RepZio, and does my desk end up typing these reorders?
They are not linked. RepZio and VoiceOrder Solutions are made by separate firms with no connection between them, and each one supports only its own product. Your ERP keeps your accounts, stock and billing, and RepZio keeps the orders your reps write; we hold every restaurant's guide with its prices, plus the reorders sent through our app. By email, your desk gets a file of the approved items and keys it in from that. What it saves is the call itself: nobody answers the phone, notes every item and repeats the list back, because the chef reviewed the order before it was sent. Sent by EDI or API, it can land in your ERP untouched by your desk, provided your ERP is configured for it, and the demo is where we find out.
Will our reps lose sight of their accounts?
They need not. Emailed orders can be sent to a rep, and whether each account's orders can reach its own rep, as well as the desk, is something to confirm in the demo. App orders will not appear in the rep's RepZio order list, since they do not go through RepZio.
RepZio works offline. Does your app?
RepZio's rep app can write orders without a signal, which matters on a show floor or out in a territory. We can't promise that for our app, so ask about it in the demo. What it does do is save an order if the chef gets pulled away, so they can pick up where they stopped.
How quickly can we start, and what will it cost?
Setup takes 24 to 48 hours for most distributors, and RepZio is left exactly as it is. You pass us the products each account normally orders, often exported to a spreadsheet; we put them into our admin, create every account, and the restaurants download our app, most of them ordering that same day. RepZio lists no prices on its site; its support site describes a free Basic rep license for browsing and a paid monthly Standard license for sending orders. We quote per distributor. A RepZio replacement would mean new tools for every rep before the next trade show; with us, every rep keeps the tools they have.
Where do the RepZio details on this page come from?
We read repzio.com and the RepZio support site on 9 November 2026: the home, solutions, sales rep app, B2B Direct, ShopZio, integrations and price pages, and support guides for the iOS app, the web app and market prep. The example of a rep keying in an order taken by phone comes from a partner's blog post about RepZio. We searched for a voice tool sold for RepZio and came up empty. If any of it is no longer right, tell us and we will fix this page.

Keep RepZio for the sale. Hand the reorders to the chef.
