How It Works

Three Pillars for Kenyan Modern Trade DMS

Naivas, Quickmart, Carrefour, Chandarana and wholesale buyers all order differently. The DMS handles JBP, consignment, and KES credit on one stack.

Chain PO, JBP, and Listing Check

Chain POs land via EDI or B2B portal into the order queue. Each line checks the active listing, JBP commitment, and chain pricing. Unlisted SKUs hold automatically.

Consignment and DC Dispatch

Allocation respects the chain DC, batch age, and stock on hand. Consignment stock at the chain DC stays on books until sale-out. The warehouse view shows committed stock by chain.

Listing Fees, Contributions, KES Credit

Listing fees and contractual trade contributions log to the chain ledger. Pricing and schemes apply per chain. KES credit gating blocks PO release on limit breach.

Complete Platform

JBP, Consignment, MTD Targets, eTIMS in One Stack

Chain listings, JBP commitments, MTD dashboards, KRA eTIMS posting, and returns and expiry reconciliation, all in one workflow.

Chain Listing and JBP Master

Active SKU list, JBP volume and value commitments, contractual contributions, and validity dates per chain. Orders validate the listing live. New SKUs push via integration.

Consignment Stock and DC Allocation

Consignment at chain DC stays on books until sale-out. Batch ageing tracked against the chain accept window. GRN handles DC rejections. Warehouse reserves stock per chain PO.

MTD and QTD Chain Target Dashboards

MTD and QTD volume by chain, store, category, SKU. Variance shows in KES and units. Pricing per chain and format. Promo schemes ring-fenced so supermarket promos do not leak to wholesale.

KES Credit, eTIMS, Returns and Expiry

KES credit gating with PesaLink knockoff. Invoices push to KRA eTIMS for CU validation. Returns reconcile DC rejection, store damage, and near-expiry against the original invoice.
