Context

FMCG distribution operates at high speed with constant movement across warehouses, vans, distributors, and retailers. Managing primary and secondary sales, stock transfers, promotions, and returns requires tight coordination and real-time visibility. However, many distributors still rely on spreadsheets or disconnected tools, resulting in inefficiencies, stockouts, and missed sales opportunities. An Odoo-based ERP centralizes distribution workflows, enabling faster operations and better control across the supply chain.

Who this is for

We work best with teams who treat software as an operating system for the business, not a one-off project.

Good fit

  • FMCG distributors and wholesalers
  • Companies managing van sales and field sales teams
  • Brands with multi-level distribution networks
  • Businesses handling high-volume, fast-moving inventory

Not a fit

  • Businesses without distribution or retail channels
  • Low-volume or non-fast-moving product companies
  • Companies not requiring route or van sales tracking
  • Small operations without multi-location inventory

The operating reality

Lack of real-time visibility leads to stockouts, lost sales, and inefficient distribution.

FMCG businesses often struggle with tracking stock across distributors and retailers, managing van sales operations, and applying schemes accurately. Manual processes make it difficult to coordinate routes, monitor sales performance, and maintain optimal inventory levels. This results in lost sales, poor planning, inefficient field operations, and reduced profitability.

How this is usually solved (and why it breaks)

Common approaches

  • Managing orders and stock through spreadsheets or WhatsApp
  • Manual route planning for sales teams
  • Separate systems for sales, inventory, and claims
  • Limited tracking of distributor and retailer performance

Where it falls short

  • Frequent stockouts and lost sales opportunities
  • Inefficient van routes and lower field productivity
  • Errors in scheme and discount application
  • Poor visibility into sales and inventory performance
