Visakhapatnam is the wholesale gateway for the north coastal districts. Pharma stockists supply medical shops up to the Odisha border. Steel and cement dealers feed construction across the region. FMCG and consumer durable distributors send vans to small towns daily. Ship chandlers near the harbour serve vessels on short turnarounds. Margins are thin, credit is long, and everything rests on knowing stock and outstandings exactly.
Our distribution software on ERPNext covers purchase from principals, scheme and discount structures, price lists by customer class, order taking on a phone, picking and dispatch, batch and expiry, GST invoicing with e-way bills, credit limits, collections and salesperson performance. Warehouse, van and branch stock sit in one system with receivables and the accounts.

Salesmen book orders for retailers already three months behind. A credit limit and an overdue check at the order stage hold the sale for approval, and the owner decides with the customer's ageing in front of him, not at the month end.
Manufacturers' schemes, free goods and rate differences produce claims that distributors routinely fail to recover. Recording scheme terms on the purchase and on the sale builds the claim statement from the transactions themselves, and that protects a real part of the margin.
A salesman touring the towns inland telephones his orders through, and they are typed again at the office, with the errors and delay that follow. A mobile order screen showing live stock and the retailer's outstanding sends the order straight to picking.
An example
A general goods distributor keeps its godown off the highway in Pendurthi mandal. On Wednesday morning the van for the upcountry route is loaded against a picking list, and the stock moves onto the van as a warehouse in its own right. The salesman travelling with it opens each retailer on his phone: the price list for that class of customer, what is on the van, and what the shop still owes. Two shops are past their limit, so the order is held for the office, and the manager releases one after a call. By evening the van is back, the balance stock is taken in and the cash collected is reconciled against the invoices raised on the route.
We implement for Visakhapatnam distributors remotely from Kochi, in the order that protects cash first: customer and item masters, opening outstandings, then billing, then purchase schemes and the sales app. Training runs over video in short daily sessions that do not stop the billing desk. We plan a visit for go live week, when the godown, the billing desk and the salesmen all switch together.

Yes. A mobile app or a browser screen shows items, prices, available stock and the retailer's outstanding. The order reaches the office at once for approval and picking, and where the signal is weak it is saved and sent when the phone reconnects.
Yes. The van is treated as a warehouse. Stock transfers to it in the morning, invoices are raised from it along the route, and the balance comes back in the evening to be reconciled with the cash collected.
Yes. Items are grouped by brand or by principal, and sales, margin, schemes received and claims pending are reported for each. A distributor can then judge which agencies deserve more working capital and which are tying it up.
After a first conversation about your customers, price lists, warehouses and how orders are taken today, we agree the scope and send you a written quotation. The price, the deliverables and the timeline are fixed against that scope before any work starts, so nothing grows without your sign-off.
You speak to someone who does this work, not a call centre. They ask about how orders come in, how you price and how collections are followed up. If it looks like a fit, we agree the scope and put it in writing, with the timeline, before any work starts. If it does not, we tell you.
