Why Choose Cloud AI Distributor Analytics & Reporting Software in South Africa?

A single backend covers head office and every regional depot. Managers work the numbers in the web portal, while reps read their assigned reports in the mobile app.
8-Card KPI Dashboard – Total Sales in rand, Orders, Active Customers, Today's Sales, Visits, Strike Rate, Plan Adherence and Average Visit Duration, all on one screen.
Secondary KPI Strip – Inventory Turnover, DSO, Collection Efficiency and Scheme Utilisation, sitting beside the Top Products and Top Schemes panels.
24+ Reports, 8 Categories – Inventory, Order, Sales & Customer, Operational, Financial, Audit, Field Force & Beat and Master Data, live from day one.
Standard Filters – Warehouse, Brand, Category and Status. Narrow to a Gauteng depot, cash-and-carry stock in KwaZulu-Natal, or any province and route.
7-Day Export Cache – Finished CSVs stay in the Export queue for a week, so a colleague can re-download rather than re-run the report.
Portal + Mobile, One Data Layer – Managers work in the browser, while reps open their reports offline on entry-level Android or iOS handsets.
