Industry category · Wholesale and B2B distribution

Hold each buyer’s rate, credit, part supply, scheme and return against the bill that created it.

Dealers and distributors buy from brands and sell to contractors, factories, hospitals, chemists, retailers and painters. Billing is usually in place already. This software covers what surrounds the bill: credit by buyer or site, part supplies, challans, schemes, returns and the claims owed by the brand.

At a glance

Distributors and dealers buy from brands and companies and sell to contractors, factories, hospitals, chemists, retailers and painters. Margin per item is thin. What decides the month is whether the right rate, scheme and batch were on the bill, and whether the money came in. Orders arrive by phone, by WhatsApp, in a salesman’s diary or as a formal purchase order from a factory purchase department, each with its own terms.

Most of these businesses already bill in Tally. That part works. The gap is everything around the bill. That means the part load still owed, the signed challan, credit by contractor or site, the scheme slab, the expiry claim and the commission promised to a plumber.

Each trade counts stock in its own way, whether by size and grade, by batch and expiry, by date code and reel, or by tint and shade. Buyers differ too. A walk-in at the counter is nothing like a hospital. The thread running through all of them is credit with a person or a site attached, and a brand that owes scheme credit.

The trades

Software for each kind of wholesale and B2B distribution business.

Building material suppliers

Building material suppliers sell cement, steel, sand, blocks and aggregates to contractors on credit, take orders by phone, send loads by lorry and collect payment weekly. The system ties each order to its delivery challan, its site and the contractor’s ledger, so outstanding amounts are visible against every site. Freight and lorry hire are recorded against the trip.

Electrical goods dealers

Electrical goods dealers sell wire, modular switches, MCBs, RCCBs and conduit to electricians and contractors. Billing packages handle the invoice, while rates, brand schemes and electrician loyalty sit in Excel and memory. The wholesale ordering software holds the item master, rates by kind of buyer and contractor credit. A ledger for electricians and a brand scheme tracker are added to it as custom work while it goes in.

Plumbing material dealers

Plumbing material dealers sell CPVC, uPVC, GI and SWR pipes, fittings, valves, tanks and CP fittings to plumbers, contractors and builders. One job can need sixty fitting codes across three sizes, and unused pieces come back after it is done. The software keeps sizes, brands and pressure classes in the item master, links returns to the original bill, and tracks plumber commission and brand schemes.

Industrial tools distributors

Industrial tools distributors supply power tools, cutting tools, abrasives, measuring instruments and safety items to factories, workshops and hardware dealers. Enquiries arrive as email lists, orders arrive as purchase orders, and payment follows bill submission weeks later. The software keeps the item master, quotations, PO-wise supply, tool repairs and brand targets in one place, so the counter, the sales engineer and accounts read the same record.

Electronic components distributors

Electronic components distributors supply ICs, passives, connectors and modules to OEMs, EMS lines, labs and repair trade. A customer sends a BOM in Excel, and each line needs a part number match, stock, lead time and a rate. The software keeps parts by manufacturer part number, date code and packing, turns BOMs into quotations, and follows import orders from the supplier to the customer’s dispatch.

Surgical and medical supplies distributors

Surgical and medical supplies distributors carry gloves, syringes, IV cannulas, sutures, dressings and implants for hospitals, nursing homes, labs and clinics. Rate contracts, hospital purchase orders, consignment stock in operation theatres and bills awaiting payment are usually tracked in Excel and on calls. The system keeps lot and expiry on every line, prices each hospital at its contract rate, and shows which bills are submitted, approved or still unpaid.

Pharmaceutical distributors

Pharma distributors buy from many companies, hold thousands of batches and sell on credit to chemists, nursing homes and sub-stockists. Billing software prints the invoice, but near-expiry stock, expiry returns, scheme credit notes and salesman collections usually sit in separate registers. The system follows each batch from purchase to sale and return, keeps every retailer’s outstanding beside his next order, and shows what the companies still owe you.

FMCG distributors

FMCG distributors carry soaps, biscuits, beverages and packaged foods for one or more companies to hundreds of kirana and general stores. Salesmen book orders on a beat, vans deliver the next day, and cash comes back in the evening. The software follows beat-wise orders, batch and expiry stock, salesman settlement, retailer outstanding and company claims, so the godown, the field team and accounts agree on the figures.

Plywood and timber dealers

Plywood and timber dealers sell to carpenters, contractors and interior designers from Tally, a stock register and a rate list that circulates on WhatsApp. MR, BWR and BWP go into one heap on the screen while the yard knows better. One system counts each brand, grade and thickness, holds rates by kind of buyer, and tracks contractor credit by site. Carpenter points and depot claims are extra pieces GullySystem adds beside those products.

Paint dealers

Paint dealers mix colours on a tinting machine and sell to painters on credit, but the shade formula, the painter and the site are rarely saved with the bill. Then the touch-up call comes. The paint dealer software keeps each tint against its customer and site and holds the painter ledger. Scheme claims are followed to the credit note. Painter points and a site-wise statement are custom additions, made while the system is configured.

Office and cleaning supply dealers

Office and cleaning supply dealers live on monthly indents from admin teams and housekeeping contractors, each with its own annual rate contract and PO number. Customers send the same list again every month. The ordering system is set up around those contracts and repeat indents, so lists are not retyped from email or WhatsApp.

What they share

Where these businesses lose time and money.

Old rates reach the bill

A brand or depot revises its price, and the billing screen still carries last week’s rate. Margin comes off quietly.

Credit grows where nobody can see it

A buyer who already owes a large sum receives another load, because the balance sits in the accounts room. Exposure builds.

Scheme and expiry claims go uncollected

Slabs, points, returns and breakage claims are raised late or without proof. The credit note shrinks.

Part supplies and returns lose their trail

Half an order goes today and the balance lives in one person’s notebook. A return reaches the wrong bill.

Commission is argued from memory

Electricians, plumbers, painters and carpenters are promised points or a share that is never written against a bill. Both sides remember differently.

What the software does

What we build across wholesale and B2B distribution.

Check credit when the order is taken

Show the buyer’s limit and outstanding on the order screen, hold any order that crosses it, and save who released it and for what reason.

Price from dated rate lists

Hold brand, depot and contract rates by date and by kind of buyer, so each bill carries the rate that applied on the day it was raised.

Keep part supplies open on the order

Record what actually left on each challan, leave the balance open on the order, and show it on a pending list until the next trip clears it.

Tie returns and claims to the original bill

Link each return, expiry claim and scheme credit to the bill and to the brand or company that owes it, and show its status until the credit note arrives.

Run ledgers by site, painter or outlet

Keep the outstanding by site, contractor, retailer or painter rather than as one running balance, so each collection round starts from a list.

Let buyers order for themselves

Give each dealer, contractor or chemist a login with their own rates and saved lists, and let a salesman key in the order for any buyer who prefers to phone.

Common questions

Questions wholesale and B2B distribution businesses ask.

Does one ready product cover every trade in this group?

No. The ordering product covers buyer logins, rates, credit, dispatch and returns, and the building material product adds challans and site ledgers. Lot and expiry tracking for pharma and medical supplies, and date codes for electronic components, are built to order.

Do we have to stop using Tally?

No. Billing and accounts can stay in Tally. Sales invoices, receipts and notes go to the accountant as an export. A closer link is scoped separately.

Can it raise e-way bills or file claims with the brand?

No. It prepares the data from the challan and tracks what each brand or company owes. The e-way bill is generated through the portal or your provider, and your team lodges the claim.

Is it worth it for a small counter or yard?

Maybe not yet. With a few steady customers and one person who reliably holds the limits and challans, a register can serve. Software earns its place later.
