Cash on delivery: how to keep track of it without the headache

19.10.2026

When shops pay cash on delivery, a distributor often struggles to track payments and what is still owed. A few simple rules.

Why this is a distributor's main puzzle

In Georgia many shops pay cash when the goods arrive. The cash is in the driver's hands, so tracking it depends on the driver's attention and discipline.

The most common problems

The driver takes the money but does not note who paid how much.
A shop pays part now and leaves the rest "for later".
The order changed but the final amount was not updated.
At the end of the day the cash the driver hands in does not match the delivered orders.

How to put it in order

Record the amount at each delivery, not in the evening.
The driver should see the final amount, and it should match the shop's order.
If a shop paid part, the balance should show on the shop's account.
At the end of the day, compare the cash the driver hands in with that day's deliveries.

An important note

Strelf does not handle order money: the shop settles with the company directly at delivery. The software only helps you keep track of orders and deliveries.
