📱
Salesman ordering app
Order booking at the counter with live stock, correct scheme-applied rates and the outlet's outstanding on screen — plus visit tracking and offline working.
Where distribution leaks
The gaps that cost distributors the most
You cannot see outlet or dealer stock
Primary sales you know. What is actually sitting at the dealer, and what is selling through, is guesswork — so you push stock blindly.
Schemes are calculated by hand
Slab discounts, free-goods offers and quarterly targets worked out in Excel. Disputes with dealers are routine and usually end in you conceding.
Salesman activity is invisible
You know the orders that came in. Which outlets were actually visited, what was discussed, and which were skipped is unknown.
Credit limits exist on paper
An outlet goes well past its limit because the person taking the order had no live view of the outstanding.
Collections drift
Payment chasing depends on whoever remembers. Ageing quietly worsens month over month.
Expiry and slow movers pile up
Near-expiry and non-moving stock surfaces when it is already a write-off rather than when it could still be pushed.
What we build
Systems for retail and distribution businesses
🏢
Multi-location stock
Warehouse, outlets, vans and in-transit stock all visible in one place, with transfers recorded properly rather than by phone call.
Details →🏷
Scheme & discount engine
Slab schemes, free goods, quarterly targets and dealer-specific rates calculated by the system. Statements dealers can verify themselves — disputes largely disappear.
💳
Credit control
Limits enforced at order entry, not discovered at month end. Orders above limit route for approval instead of being blocked or quietly allowed.
💰
Collection tracking
Receipts entered in the field the moment they are collected, with automatic reminders and ageing that everyone can see.
WhatsApp reminders →📊
Secondary sales visibility
Where dealers will share it, capture sell-through so you plan on actual demand rather than on how much you managed to push.
FAQ
Retail and distribution questions
Can the salesman app work without internet?
Yes — that is essential in this business. Orders, visit notes and collections are saved on the phone and sync when the connection returns. A salesman in a basement market or a rural route keeps working normally.
Our scheme structure is complicated. Can it be automated?
Usually yes, and it is often the highest-value part. We have modelled slab schemes, combination offers, free-goods ratios, quarterly target incentives and dealer-specific rate structures.
The bigger benefit is that dealers can see their own scheme calculation, which removes most of the monthly argument.
We have outlets on different billing software. Can they be connected?
Often yes, depending on the software. Where a direct connection is not possible, a scheduled data import still gives you consolidated visibility, which is usually most of the value.
We check what each outlet runs before committing to an approach.
Do we need to replace our billing software?
Not necessarily. If your billing works, we frequently build around it — adding the ordering, scheme, credit and visibility layer while billing continues where it is. That is cheaper and far less disruptive.
Do you know what is sitting at your dealers right now?
If not, you are planning production and purchase on incomplete information. The audit will show you what visibility is achievable.
