How It Works

Three Pillars of a Cloud DMS for Nigerian FMCG

Order booking at the provision store, FEFO stock allocation at the warehouse, and Naira collection sync across POS and bank transfer. One platform runs the distributor to sub-distributor to open-market retailer chain, and keeps working when the network and grid do not.

Order Booking and FEFO Allocation

Beat orders from provision stores, kiosks, and open-market traders flow into distributor order management, even offline. Credit-limit gating, scheme rules, and FEFO dispatch by expiry run automatically. Naira invoices print at the warehouse and sync when the signal returns.

Warehouse, Batch, and Expiry Control

Multi-warehouse stock tracking with batch and expiry control across Lagos, Kano, and Onitsha depots. GRN posts consignment receipts against purchase orders. The warehouse module traces food, beverage, and personal-care batches by lot for NAFDAC recall.

Naira Collections and Trade Schemes

POS, bank transfer, and fintech collections through Opay, Moniepoint, and PalmPay auto-allocate to Naira invoices. Channel pricing and trade schemes apply by general trade, modern trade, or product hierarchy.
