Run beats, load vans, collect retailer dues and file company claims from one record.
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.
Margins are thin and volume is high. A distributor handling three companies may serve six hundred outlets across a dozen beats, with each company running its own schemes and claim rules.
Manage beat plans, order booking, van loading, delivery, collections, returns and company claims in one system. Each company’s business stays separate where it needs to.
Salesmen leave in the morning on the day’s beat, visit each outlet, check what is on the shelf and book an order on the phone or in an order book. By evening the orders are billed, and the godown prepares a loading sheet route by route for the vans.
Delivery staff hand over goods, collect cash, UPI or a cheque against old bills, and bring back damaged or expired stock the retailer wants to return. At day end each salesman and driver settles cash and pending bills with the cashier.
Companies announce new schemes every month. Claims follow with their own paperwork.

Read the case studyQuestions fMCG distributors ask before they call.
Can retailers place orders without a salesman visiting?
Yes. Our wholesale ordering product gives a retailer his own login with his rates, running schemes and ledger, and a salesman can still book on the retailer’s behalf.
Will this replace the DMS our company has given us?
No. Where a company requires its own DMS, primary purchases and the secondary sales it asks for stay there. A data exchange with that system is scoped only where the company allows it.
Can one system handle several companies we distribute for?
Yes. Stock, schemes, claims and reports are kept company by company, while a retailer sees one ledger with you.
Will it link to Tally?
Not built in. We can add an export for Tally during implementation, and it is quoted on its own. The ledger names follow your accountant’s setup.
What happens in the free technology audit?
We look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough to start. You get a report ordered by priority, and there is no obligation to hire us afterwards.
How much will the software cost?
We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. The audit settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
