Also serving Kasargod
A Kasaragod distributor buys in Mangaluru, sells on credit to small shops from the coast to the hill panchayats, and carries it all in his head. Distribution software carries it instead.

Wholesale in Kasaragod works along two axes. One is the highway, where consumer goods, building materials, hardware and farm inputs come down from Mangaluru and up from Kozhikode to stockists in Kasaragod town, Kanhangad and Nileshwaram. The other runs inland, where those stockists supply small shops in Badiadka, Mulleria, Rajapuram and Vellarikundu on weekly van routes and running credit. In the opposite direction, traders gather arecanut, copra and cashew from the villages and sell in bulk outward.
Wholesale and distribution software on ERPNext manages that flow: purchase with scheme and rate tracking, multi-godown stock, customer-wise price lists and credit limits, salesman order taking, route-wise dispatch, collections and outstanding follow-up, and GST on both intrastate and interstate transactions. The result is a distributor who knows each morning what to deliver, what to collect and what to reorder.
Small retailers buy on a running account and pay when the van next comes. Without limits, some balances only grow. Customer-wise credit limits and overdue days stop a fresh invoice, or send it for approval, once the threshold is crossed, and the salesman sees the balance before taking the order.
Principal companies run quantity schemes, free goods and rate differences that are claimed later. If they are not recorded at purchase, the claim is forgotten or disputed. Scheme-aware purchase entries and claim tracking turn what the principal owes into a ledger balance.
The salesman visits shops on the Uppala or Cheruvathur route, writes orders in a book and reads them out in the evening. A mobile order app shows stock and price on the spot, sends the order straight to the godown and has the van loaded before he is back.
FMCG and consumer goods distribution
Principal-wise purchase and scheme tracking, batch and expiry control, beat-wise salesman orders, van loading sheets, daily collection reports and retailer outstanding by route for stockists serving the district's retail and trading network.
Arecanut, copra and cashew trading
Bulk buying from growers and village agents, lot-wise stock with grade, sales to upcountry and Karnataka buyers with interstate GST, brokerage and freight recorded per deal, and a daily position of stock held against prevailing rates.
Building materials and hardware
Supply to the district's busy house-building market: contractor and site-wise credit accounts, delivery challans converted to invoices, heavy items tracked by godown, and transport charges recovered correctly on each bill.
We begin with your masters: items with HSN and units, customers by route with opening balances, price lists and schemes. This is prepared remotely from Kochi with your accountant. We then come to Kasaragod for the godown count, dispatch and billing training, and the first days of live invoicing. Salesmen are trained on the order app on their own routes. Support afterwards is by phone and remote access.

Yes. Price lists can be assigned by customer or customer group, with quantity-based pricing rules and time-bound schemes on top. A Kasargod distributor supplying both town supermarkets and small village shops can keep separate rate structures without the billing clerk needing to remember any of them.
The salesman records cash, cheque or UPI collections against specific invoices in the mobile app, and the customer can be sent an acknowledgement. The office sees collections by salesman and route the same day and reconciles cash handed over against what the app shows.
Not for the system. Supplier state determines IGST on purchase automatically, input credit is tracked, and e-way bills inward can be recorded against the purchase. Sales inside Kerala carry CGST and SGST, and sales back across the border carry IGST, all from the same masters.
