How It Works

Three Pillars for Saudi Retail & Modern Trade DMS

A modern-trade buyer, a wholesaler supplying baqala shops, and a mini-market off a side street all order differently. The DMS handles modern-trade listings, multi-tier baqala and traditional-trade flow, and SAR settlement through mada, STC Pay, and SADAD on one stack, and keeps working across the Kingdom's distances and summer heat.

Tier and Channel Order Flow

Orders arrive from a modern-trade buyer, a sub-distributor portal, or a field rep at the baqala counter and drop into the order queue. The platform tags the channel (distributor, sub-distributor, wholesaler, baqala, modern-trade chain), applies the right SAR price list, and routes dispatch while secondary sales stay in view.

Offline-First Coverage and Stock

Reps work baqala and modern-trade routes across Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam on an offline-first app, so orders and payments hold on the device across long inter-city stretches and sync when signal returns. Allocation respects batch age and stock on hand, and the warehouse view shows committed stock by channel.

SAR Credit, mada and SADAD Settlement

Per-channel pricing and schemes apply per tier, with modern-trade promotions ring-fenced from baqala and traditional-trade pricing. SAR credit gating blocks release on limit breach, and mada, STC Pay, SADAD, and bank-transfer receipts knock off invoices automatically.

Complete Platform

Multi-Tier Orders, Coverage, Pricing & Schemes, SAR Settlement in One Stack

One cloud runs the whole retail loop, from tier-aware order capture and offline coverage through to returns and SAR ageing, with modern-trade listings and baqala pricing on the same platform.

Tier-Based Order Processing

Order automation handles channel allocation, listing checks for modern trade, scheme matching, credit checks, and SAR invoicing aligned to ZATCA/Fatoora. Bookings flow from the rep, the sub-distributor portal, or a chain buyer straight to dispatch with no rekeying.

Offline Coverage, Batch and Warehouse

Beat visits, orders, and payments are logged offline-first across baqala and modern-trade routes and synced on reconnection. GRN captures the batch as goods are booked in, and FEFO dispatch with near-expiry alerts covers SFDA/RSD-regulated food, beverage, and personal-care lines. The warehouse reserves stock per order.

Channel Pricing and Ring-Fenced Schemes

SAR price trees by channel (distributor, sub-distributor, wholesaler, baqala, modern-trade chain). Slab and free-goods schemes are applied at the point of order, timed to Ramadan and Hajj-Umrah demand, and modern-trade promotions are ring-fenced so hypermarket deals never leak into baqala pricing.

SAR Credit, Collections and Returns

SAR credit gating with mada, STC Pay, SADAD, and bank-transfer receipt knock-off. Ageing auto-blocks orders on limit breach. Returns reconcile damage, short-dated, and reject stock against the original invoice with credit notes.
