Sonepar teams with Innovo to provide real-time shipment tracking & Delivery. More than 4,000 Sonepar customers are receiving delivery notifications with the Innovo Deliver app. Charleston, SC-based electrical supplies distributor Sonepar announced it will offer real-time shipment tracking and delivery scheduling with Innovo's Deliver app throughout its U.S. network of more than 570 branches. Sonepar will also implement Innovo Route at all branches running routes with three or more trucks. In a Dec. 1 news release, Sonepar company stated that in 2025, it has onboarded more than 1,300 customers on the solutions for a total of more than 4,000 customers across 5,000 delivery locations receiving shipment notifications. "Electricians are in short supply, and labor contributes the highest costs to a contractor's bottom line. It's crucial to have skilled workers deployed to the right jobsite, with the material they need on hand so they can get the job done," explained Don Sarno, SVP Digital Enterprise Americas for Sonepar. "Our customers know the exact time their shipment will arrive and can plan resources accordingly." Innovo's Deliver and Route applications give Sonepar companies full traceability of material. Customers can choose a delivery window and receive GPS-driven notifications to see minute by minute where their shipment is and when it will arrive. Many branches also offer same-day delivery for orders placed by a certain time. "We complete 60,000 routes per month across the U.S.," shared Dana Mouritzen, Chief Operating Officer, Sonepar USA. "Our goal is for 10 out of 10 line items to arrive on time, every time, from the very first shipment. Delivery drivers have always been the face of our company to customers, and with the Deliver app, our drivers now have even more of the customer experience in the palm of their hand." Drivers receive an optimized route plan each day, capture signatures on their phone, and can easily close out their manifest at the end of their route. Sonepar said it has optimized 200,000 delivery routes since launching the app. Innovo's suite of mobile applications and web tools integrate with Epicor Eclipse Distribution Management system. Sonepar recently began beta testing of Stockroom Web, an Innova solution that allows customers to manage inventory. "We've been working with Sonepar companies for a decade, and their commitment to the best possible customer experience consistently pushes us to think how we can innovate to improve our products," said Robin Merrion, President of Innovo. "Having a tight feedback loop with Sonepar's customers helps us to build around their specific needs." Sonepar was No. 2 on MDM's 2025 Top Distributors List for Electrical/Data/Security with sales of $35.2 billion.
