Retail & Modern Trade Distributor Management

Retail & Modern Trade Distributor Management Cloud Software for Philippine National Accounts

Give national accounts at chains such as SM, Robinsons, Puregold, 7-Eleven, and Alfamart chain-level order and replenishment visibility, hold batch and SKU control tight enough for large-format retail, and settle collections in pesos through GCash, Maya, InstaPay, and PESONet, on one cloud DMS built for distribution across the islands.

How It Works

Three Pillars for Philippine Modern Trade Distribution

A national account buyer placing a replenishment order, a warehouse team releasing FDA-tracked batches, and a finance team reconciling peso collections across chains all need something different from the same DMS. These three pillars keep chain-level visibility, product-level control, and collection accuracy working together on one cloud stack, across provinces and island distribution centres.

Chain Order and Replenishment Visibility

Purchase orders from national-account buying teams, whether placed through an EDI feed, a buyer portal, or a field rep visiting the category manager, route straight into order management. The platform checks each SKU against the chain's current listing, flags branches approaching a stock-out, and keeps replenishment cycles aligned to each account's ordering calendar so shelf availability holds at chains such as SM, Robinsons, and Puregold.

Batch and SKU Control for National Accounts

Modern-trade buyers expect consistent batch quality and full traceability on every case. Stock is reserved by batch as soon as it is booked in, FEFO dispatch pushes the nearest-expiry lot out first, and near-expiry alerts fire ahead of a write-off. Lot-level search supports Food and Drug Administration Philippines traceability for FMCG and pharma lines moving through the warehouse.

Peso Collections and Delivery Across the Islands

Chain-specific trade terms and ageing sit against each account, and receipts through GCash, Maya, InstaPay, and PESONet knock off open invoices automatically instead of waiting on a month-end reconciliation. Delivery routing accounts for combined road and inter-island freight, so orders bound for distribution centres in Metro Manila, Cebu, or Davao keep moving through typhoon season rather than stalling at the depot.

Complete Platform

Chain Orders, Batch Control, and Peso Settlement in One Stack

One cloud runs the full modern-trade loop, from chain-aware order capture and FDA-ready batch control through to returns and peso ageing, with each national account's terms kept distinct on the same platform.

Chain-Aware Order Processing

Order automation checks each purchase order against the chain's live listing, applies the matching scheme, runs credit checks, and raises a peso invoice. Bookings from an EDI feed, a buyer portal, or a field rep flow straight to dispatch with no rekeying.

Batch, Expiry, and Warehouse Control

GRN captures the batch as stock is booked in, and FEFO dispatch with near-expiry alerts keeps FMCG and pharma lines moving ahead of a write-off. The warehouse reserves stock per chain order across distribution centres in Metro Manila, Cebu, and Davao.

Peso Pricing and Chain-Specific Trade Terms

Peso price lists are built per chain and per format. Slab and free-goods schemes apply at the point of order, and each account's promotional terms stay ring-fenced from every other chain's pricing.

Peso Collections, Ageing, and Returns

Collections through GCash, Maya, InstaPay, and PESONet knock off invoices automatically, and ageing auto-blocks new orders on a limit breach. Returns reconcile damaged, short-dated, and rejected stock against the original invoice with credit notes.
