Behind Bengaluru's malls and delivery apps is a wholesale trade that moves quietly. K. R. Market at Kalasipalya has sold flowers, vegetables and dry goods since 1928, with tools and machine-tool accessories on its upper floor. Chickpet distributes cloth across Karnataka, and the Yeshwanthpur APMC yard takes in produce for the whole city. Distributors on the outskirts serve thousands of kirana stores. Margins are slim, credit runs long, and one missed price revision can take a week's profit.
ERPNext for wholesale and distribution handles price lists by customer group, scheme and quantity discounts, credit limits and overdue blocks, orders booked by salesmen in the market, batch-wise stock across godowns, purchase planning, delivery routes and GST invoicing with e-way bills. Receivables are visible by customer, salesman and age, so a distributor knows before dispatch whether an order should go at all.

Orders are accepted from dealers already beyond their terms, because the salesman in the lane does not know. Credit limits and overdue days checked at order entry hold the order for approval, and the conversation happens before the goods leave the godown.
Principals announce slabs, free goods and cash discounts that overlap and change monthly. Pricing rules apply the right scheme on each invoice, and claims are compiled from actual sales, so the principal's auditor finds a claim that matches the books.
With thousands of items, slow stock is noticed only when the godown runs out of space. Item-wise ageing and movement reports separate what sells from what sits, and clearance can then be offered to the dealers who bought those lines before.
An example
A dry-goods wholesaler near Kalasipalya opens the godown before dawn. Last night's orders, booked on phones by three salesmen working the lanes, are already queued for billing. Two are held: one dealer is past his credit days and the other has crossed his limit, so the owner rings both before anything is loaded. The rest print as invoices with the month's scheme applied automatically and e-way bills raised for the two loads going out of the city. The loading sheet follows the delivery route, so the last drop is packed first. By the time the market fills, the lorries have gone and the owner is looking at a collection report by salesman rather than a diary.
Distribution businesses in Bengaluru are implemented remote-first. Item and customer masters, price lists and scheme rules are cleaned up and loaded with your team on calls. We travel from Kochi for the process workshop and again for go-live, when billing staff, godown staff and salesmen are trained in their own roles. The first scheme cycle and month-end are supported daily.
Discovery. Your customers, price lists, routes, warehouses and how orders are taken.
Blueprint and fixed scope. A clear plan, the deliverables and the timeline, agreed in writing before configuration starts.
Configuration. Price lists, schemes, sales orders, delivery, credit limits and collections.
Data migration. Customers, items, price lists, opening stock and outstanding balances.
Training, go-live and support. Your team tests on real data, we stand beside you at launch, then support continues under a plan.
The scope and timeline are agreed in writing before work starts.
Electronic component distribution
Manufacturer part numbers, reel and pack quantities, customer-specific pricing, batch or serial tracking and fast quotations for dealers serving assemblers and repair shops. Counter staff answer price and availability in one search instead of walking to the rack.
FMCG and grocery distribution
Beat-wise order booking on a phone, scheme application, batch and expiry control, van loading sheets and collection tracking for distributors feeding kirana stores across the district. Near-expiry stock is pushed first, and collections are seen by beat each evening.
Textiles and garments wholesale
Item variants by design, colour and size, customer-group price lists, broker commission and transport details on the invoice for the Chickpet cloth trade. Season-end stock by design is visible before the next buying trip to the mills.
Yes. Orders can be entered on a phone with the customer's outstanding, credit limit and last prices on screen, and they reach the billing desk immediately. Schemes apply on the phone exactly as they do at the desk.
Yes. Both are produced from the sales invoice through the India Compliance app, with vehicle and transporter details. Regular routes and vehicles can be saved, which removes a separate portal step for a house issuing many invoices a day.
Scheme discounts and free goods given to retailers are recorded on each invoice under the scheme. Reports total them by principal and period, giving a claim statement backed by invoice-level detail, and pending claims stay tracked until the credit note arrives.
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.
