Smart FDS - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Smart FDS is an all-in-one farm delivery management software and eCommerce platform built for dairy farms, creameries, food hubs, herdshare programs, meat farms, and produce farms across the United States. The platform automates delivery routes, subscriptions, billing, inventory, and payments in one place so farm businesses spend less time on admin and more time on the farm.

Dairy Farms and Creameries

Smart FDS handles route-optimized milk delivery with bottle deposit tracking, automatic return credits, and recurring customer subscriptions. Sell by unit, gallon, weight, or pack. Set delivery cut-off times, manage customer skip requests, and run automated billing every week without manual follow-up.

Food Hubs

Smart FDS gives food hubs multi-producer management, aggregated ordering, route planning, and driver manifests in one dashboard. Coordinate multiple producers, consolidate orders across farms, and run optimized delivery routes without managing separate tools for each part of the workflow.

Herdshare Programs

Smart FDS includes a dedicated herdshare module built for the specific requirements of herdshare operations. Manage agistment fees, one-time buy-ins, vacation holds, and membership contracts. Members get a private portal to view their account, manage their share, and track delivery schedules. Automated SMS reminders go out before every delivery. Recurring billing runs on its own schedule without manual intervention.

Meat and Specialty Farms

Pre-order meat shares, bulk weight selling, seasonal inventory tracking, and home delivery or pickup management are all supported. Smart FDS handles pricing by unit or by weight (lbs/kgs) and seasonal product management for farms with variable inventory.

Built-in Route Optimization

Smart FDS builds optimized multi-stop routes the moment orders are ready, with no third-party routing subscription needed. Drivers see every stop on the Smart FDS Driver App on iOS and Android, with proof of delivery confirmation. Native routing is included in every plan at no additional cost.

Orders, Subscriptions, and Billing

Recurring billing aligns automatically with each delivery schedule. Customers manage their own skips, edits, and payment updates through a self-service portal. Cards are auto-charged once routes close. Payment methods include Stripe, ACH, and PayPal. For in-person sales, the POS accepts credit card, cash, check, and store credit.

Point of Sale

Run POS at your farm store or farmers market on any phone or tablet. Walk-in sales, phone orders, and home delivery all run through the same system and the same ledger.
