For FMCG distribution houses

Your counter and your salesmen,
on the same books.

Billing on Windows at the counter. An Android app for the field. Both keep working when the internet does not.

The Distro counter's home screen: today's sales and collections, receivables ageing, stock expiring soon and customers over their credit limit.
Today's beat on the field app: the shops to visit, how many are left, and what each one owes.
Today's beat

For the owner

You open it and the day is already answered

The first screen is not a menu. It is the morning's three questions — no report to run.

Today's sales, today's cash collected, and a chart of sales against collections.

What we sold, and the cash that came in

Today's sales and collections, and the trend behind them.

Receivables ageing: how much is owed, split into current, 31-60, 61-90 and over 90 days.

Who owes us, and for how long

Every rupee outstanding, split by how old it is.

Eight field orders waiting to be billed, an item running low, and batches expiring soon.

What needs attention now

Field orders to bill, stock running low, batches about to expire.

Where the money goes

Three places a distribution house loses money quietly

None of them shows up as an error. Each one has a fix built in.

Ordered, never billed

Stock was short, so part of an order was left out. Nobody remembered it when the stock came in.

The order stays open until every item is billed. One click bills just what is left.

Stock that expires in the godown

The newer carton goes out first. The older batch runs out its date at the back.

Earliest expiry is sold first, the home screen warns before a batch expires, and damaged returns stay off the shelf.

The scheme nobody mentioned

The shop would have taken a bigger order for the bonus. Nobody told them it was there.

The rep sees “+13 Box → 2% bonus” on the line, while the order is being taken.

What it does

Everything the counter does in a day

GST billing

Tax invoices, credit and debit notes. GSTR-1 and 3B ready.

Batch & expiry

Sold first-expiry-first. Damaged returns kept off the shelf.

Field orders

Taken on the beat, billed at the counter. Never typed twice.

Van delivery

What each shop took. What came back becomes a credit note in one click.

Collections

Receipt with a photo of the payment. Matched when the cash is handed in.

Rates & schemes

The rate on the rep's phone is the rate on the bill.

Beat plan

Which rep covers which shops, on which day.

24 reports

Stock, sales, dues, field work. Every one out to Excel.

How it works

Built for a connection that comes and goes

Every device keeps a full copy of your books. Nobody presses Sync.

A tax invoice part-raised for Rahim Medical Store: four lines with batch numbers, quantities in cases and cartons, rates and per-line discounts; a note that the customer has 1,975 rupees on account; a scheme stacking 10 percent on top of a 9 percent tier discount; and CGST, SGST and the grand total building at the foot.
A bill being raised — batches, schemes, GST
A van loading sheet: bills that came back undelivered, the route and driver, and the deliveries still to carry.
Loading a van, and what came back
The stock ledger: every item broken down by batch, with expiry date, quantity, MRP and valuation.
Stock by batch, with expiry in view
The GST summary: a period selector, a button that saves the GSTR-1 filing workbook, an HSN-wise table of taxable value with CGST, SGST and IGST, and a reconciliation showing business turnover less sales memos to give the turnover that appears in GST returns.
GSTR-1, and why filed turnover differs
Taking an order: live stock per item, the customer's rate, scheme offers, and a warning that some stock is already committed to other orders.
Taking an order

In the field

The same books, in the rep's pocket

The phone updates itself overnight. The rep opens it at seven and today's prices, stock and dues are already there.

  • Opens on today's beat
  • Dues shown before walking in
  • This shop's usual order first
  • “+13 Box → 2% bonus”
  • Warns when stock is already promised
  • No signal? Orders still saved

Rates and schemes

One rate, and both of you can see how it got there

The rep's phone and the counter work the rate out the same way. The bill shows the working.

The quote is the bill

The rep cannot promise a rate the counter will not honour.

Rebate on every bill

Earned as the target is reached. No month-end settling.

Working on the line

Offer, tier and total printed where the rate is typed.

Where it fits

It does not replace your accountant

Distro runs the counter, the van and the salesmen. Your accounts stay where they are.

Distro does

  • Billing, returns and GST invoices
  • Salesmen, orders and collections
  • Van delivery — billed vs delivered
  • Stock by batch and expiry
  • GSTR-1 workbook and 3B worksheet

Your accountant keeps

  • Balance sheet
  • Profit and loss
  • Journal entries
  • Filing your GST return

Distro prepares the GST files your accountant uploads. It does not file on your behalf, and it is not tax advice.

What you are buying

Counters and salesmen — not devices

You pay for billing counters and field salesmen. You feel the difference the day something breaks.

A rep drops their phone

They sign in on the new one. Nothing to re-license.

A counter PC dies

Swap in the new one yourself, from Settings.

The line is down for a week

The counter keeps billing for a month without us.
