Distributor Management

Distributor management for FMCG

Bring distributor stock, orders, secondary sales and performance into one view, with B2B ordering and ERP integration.

The challenge

From factory to shelf, in the dark

Manufacturers see primary sales to distributors clearly, but secondary sales and distributor stock often arrive weeks later in different formats. Campaign execution, stock build-up and lost outlets are spotted too late.

  • Secondary sales data is late and inconsistent
  • Distributor targets tracked manually
  • Retailers depend on phone or reps to order

Frequently asked questions

What is a distributor management system?

A DMS gives manufacturers one place to collect and manage stock, orders, secondary sales and performance across their distributor network, bridging field SFA and central ERP.

Our distributors use different ERPs. Is that a problem?

No. We map data from Logo, Mikro, Netsis, SAP and others into a common model, and offer file templates or a portal for distributors without integration.

Is the B2B portal mandatory?

No. It is an optional module for companies that want retailers to order directly.
