⚠️Your distributor says stock isn't moving. Three nearby kirana outlets stocked out this morning — same SKU, different zone.
⚠️One godown is overstocked. Another runs dry on the same SKU. No cross-transfer alert reached anyone.
⚠️Batch expiring in 18 days. ₹82,000 locked. Nobody flagged it — because nobody was watching secondary movement.

⚠ Three Back-Office Blind Spots

Three Gaps Draining Your Distribution Margins

Shipment ≠ Offtake. Most Indian FMCG distributors can't see all three — until it's too late.

📉
Gap #1 — Visibility
The Primary vs Secondary Gap
Primary dispatch to stockistKnown ✓
Secondary sales to kirana / chemistUnknown ✗
Retail shelf movementBlind spot

Brands make supply decisions on dispatch data — not actual retail demand. Overstocked distributors and invisible kirana stock-outs happen simultaneously.

Gap #2 — Inventory
Dead Stock & Expiry Loss
Expired batch — Cream 50gEXPIRED
Shampoo 200ml — near expiry21 days left
Dead stock value this month₹84,000

Without batch-level visibility, FIFO isn't enforced and oldest inventory doesn't move first. The loss is locked in before anyone is alerted.

Gap #3 — Channel Trust

Delayed claims and manual errors damage trust with your best stockists. Distributors who can't trust your margin math quietly push competitors instead.

Quick Answers

Distribution Questions
Decision-Makers Ask First

What is a Distributor Management System (DMS)?

A distributor management system is back-office software that gives manufacturers visibility into secondary sales — how inventory moves from distributor godowns to kirana stores and retail shelves. It manages multi-godown stock, scheme settlements, stockist credit limits, and expiry control across a distribution network.

Primary Sales vs Secondary Sales

Primary sales = manufacturer ships to distributor. Secondary sales = distributor sells to kirana / chemist / retailer. Most FMCG brands track primary dispatch only — so godowns overstock while retail shelves run empty. SalesOn makes secondary movement visible by region, SKU, and stockist.

How Does SalesOn Control Multi-Godown Inventory?

SalesOn DMS shows stock levels across every godown with FIFO enforcement, so stock imbalances are caught before they become retail stock-outs.

Who Is SalesOn DMS Built For?

Built for FMCG, Pharma, and Telecom distributors and manufacturers with multi-city stockist networks. Works from 2 users to enterprise scale, goes live in 1–2 days, and costs ₹333/user/month billed yearly with zero setup fee.

Start Small. Scale Freely. No Commitment Risk.
✓ ₹0 setup cost ✓ Start with 2 users ✓ Live in 1–2 days ✓ Works field-ready on any Android ✓ Dedicated onboarding manager ✓ Salesman training included ✓ 5-day money-back guarantee ✓ No minimum commitment

🤝 Distributor & Channel Trust

When Distributors Stop
Trusting You, Your Channel Breaks.

❝ Schemes are live but only two distributors used them. Nobody knows if retail demand actually went up. ❞

SalesOn DMS gives every channel interaction a paper trail — scheme claims auto-calculated, credit balances visible to both sides, and outstanding collections tracked by stockist. Disputes stop. Channel trust holds.

  • Instant Claim Settlement: Scheme claims auto-calculated and settled digitally — no month-end disputes, no manual math errors.
  • Dealer Credit Visibility: Every stockist's outstanding, credit limit, and payment history visible in real time.
  • Scheme Compliance Tracking: Utilisation tracked by outlet — so every rupee of incentive earns measurable return.
💡Distributors using SalesOn typically report major reductions in scheme-related billing disputes within the first quarter.

Why Existing Tools Fail

Why Traditional Distributor Software
Fails Indian Distribution

Excel, ERP, legacy DMS — none gave real-time secondary sales visibility and godown control from a single back-office system.

📋
Excel + WhatsApp
No Godown Visibility

Secondary sales shared days late. Stock reconciliation is manual. By the time data is compiled, retail stock-outs have already cost shelf space.

🏦
ERP-Only Systems
Blind to Channel Movement

ERPs track distributor billing — not what moved to kirana shelves. Strong for accounting, completely blind to secondary sales and godown stock movement.

💾
Legacy DMS
EOD Lag & High Cost

Server-dependent sync causes End-of-Day lag on budget Android devices. Enterprise-level pricing is unviable for mid-market Indian distributors.

🌐
Global SaaS Tools
Not Built for India

Designed for Western distribution networks — no kirana billing, no stockist beat planning, no secondary sales visibility for Indian channels.

Common Questions

Distributor Management
Questions — Answered

A distributor management system (DMS) gives manufacturers operational visibility into secondary sales — how products move from warehouses to kirana stores, chemists, and retail outlets. It covers offtake tracking, stock-out prevention, dead stock alerts, multi-godown sync, scheme management, and channel performance analytics.
SalesOn DMS is among the leading distributor management systems in India, trusted by 1,100+ FMCG, Pharma and Telecom distributors. It captures secondary sales automatically from field ordering, provides multi-godown inventory control, and connects to your existing billing tools — with setup in under 1 day.
Primary sales is shipment from manufacturer to distributor. Secondary sales is actual movement from distributor to kirana stores, chemists, and retailers. Most FMCG brands track primary dispatch but remain blind to secondary offtake — causing retail stock-outs while distributor warehouses are overstocked.
Rep places order at kirana → distributor invoice auto-generated → secondary sale synced to DMS → SKU movement updates → godown inventory adjusts → dashboard reflects current market. No Excel, no manual uploads.
Yes. SalesOn DMS tracks distributor inventory at batch level across multiple godowns — with FIFO enforcement, expiry alerts, cross-godown balancing, and dead stock warnings — making it a complete distributor inventory tracking solution for FMCG, Pharma and Telecom.
Most distributors go live within 1–2 days. SalesOn includes a dedicated onboarding manager, salesman training, and WhatsApp support. There is no setup fee, no minimum user commitment, and a 5-day money-back guarantee after guided onboarding.
