Also serving Alleppey
Alappuzha was built as a trading port with canals for roads, and its wholesalers still supply shops, resorts and Kuttanad's farms; ERPNext gives them control of stock, credit and routes.

Trade made Alappuzha. The canals and godowns of the old town were laid out to move coir, copra and spices to the sea, and wholesale is still a way of life. Coir yarn and fibre merchants supply manufacturers. Distributors of FMCG, provisions, fertiliser, feed and hardware serve shops from Cherthala to Kayamkulam, and reach parts of Kuttanad where the last stretch is by boat. Suppliers to houseboats and resorts deliver every morning in season.
ERPNext for wholesale and distribution manages multi-godown stock with batches and expiry, the flow from quotation to order, delivery and GST invoice, route and van sales with field order capture, customer price lists and schemes, credit limits with invoice blocking, purchase planning with landed cost, and margin by item, customer and route. For an Alleppey distributor the biggest gains usually come from two places: credit control and van reconciliation.
Shops and resorts buy on credit, and in a small town it is awkward to refuse. When the system shows each customer's limit, ageing and last payment at the moment an order is taken, and can block the invoice, the salesman has a reason that is not personal.
A van sent out with stock comes back with cash, credit bills, returns and a shortage that someone must explain. Van loading and settlement in ERPNext reconciles stock out, sales, collections and stock returned on the same evening, route by route.
Fertiliser before sowing, provisions before the tourist peak and school goods before June all have short selling windows. Purchase planning from past seasons' sales and present stock reduces both the dead stock left after the season and the stock-outs during it.
Coir yarn, fibre and raw material trade
Purchase from fibre suppliers within and outside Kerala, grade-wise stock, sales to manufacturing units on credit, rate changes tracked by date, weight-based billing, and customer ageing reports for a trade that runs on long relationships.
Agricultural inputs for Kuttanad paddy farming
Seed, fertiliser, lime and pesticide stock with batch and expiry, sales to farmers and padasekharam committees, season-end settlement of credit, licence and regulatory records, and delivery planning that includes water transport. Subsidised and non-subsidised items are kept apart.
Hospitality and houseboat supplies
Daily order capture from resorts and boat operators by phone or app, early morning picking lists, route-wise delivery of provisions, beverages and housekeeping goods, and consolidated weekly or monthly billing with statements. Accounts of seasonal customers are reviewed before each season opens.
We spend time in your godown and ride along on a route, since distribution problems hide in the handovers. Item masters, price lists and customer credit terms are cleaned before loading. Salesmen are trained on the mobile order screen and the billing staff on invoicing and van settlement, at your premises in Alappuzha. Remote support comes from Kochi, with a review visit after the first full month.

Yes. Field staff can record orders on a phone against the customer, see stock, price and outstanding balance, and the order arrives in the godown for picking. In areas of weak signal, orders can be saved and sent once the connection returns.
Pricing rules in ERPNext apply quantity slabs, customer-group discounts and promotional schemes automatically on the invoice, within the dates you set. This stops unauthorised discounts in the field and makes it easier to claim scheme reimbursements from the principal company.
Batch and expiry tracking is standard. The system proposes the earliest-expiring batch first, reports on stock nearing expiry so that it can be sold or returned in time, and keeps the batch history needed for feed, food and agricultural input regulations.
