Retail & Modern Trade Industry Software

Cloud Retail Software Purpose-Built for Vietnam's Modern Trade Sector

Key Account Managers negotiate chain listings while Sales Representatives, van crews, and promoters cover tạp hóa rows and traditional-market stalls, and merchandisers check the shelf, all from one cloud suite that spans Vietnam's modern-trade accounts and its deep general trade side by side. Planogram compliance and settlement by cash, VietQR, or bank transfer run through the same system end to end.

Where Things Break Today

Where Generic Tools Fall Short for Vietnamese Retail and Modern Trade

Structured listing agreements and planogram briefs govern how chains such as WinMart+, Bach Hoa Xanh, and Co.op Food operate, yet tạp hóa stores and traditional markets in every province still run largely on relationships and cash. Two very different rhythms, one dataset needed: sales, stock, and shelf information split apart the moment there is no single cloud system tying both sides together.

No Proof of Chain or Tạp Hóa Visits

A rep's day might run from a shelf check at a chain branch to a string of tạp hóa drops further down the road, spread across a territory that stretches through three regions. If nothing captures GPS, a photo, or a timestamp at each stop, an Area Sales Manager has no way to confirm which KAM calls and which tạp hóa visits genuinely took place.

Chain Listing Orders Stuck in Email

A listing renewal or a fresh purchase order from a modern-trade buyer typically lands as an email attachment, then gets typed a second time into a stock file by hand. That re-entry step is where mistakes creep in: allocations go wrong, shipments run short, and nobody on the supply side notices until the gap has already grown.

Late Secondary-Sales Data

By the time sell-out figures from distributors and chain partners reach the brand team, several days have usually slipped by, sometimes closer to two weeks. Replenishment decisions get made against numbers that are already stale, and often the next promotion is underway before anyone has finished reviewing how the last one performed.

Tết POSM Goes Unchecked

Secondary displays go out to the chains ahead of Tết, but once they're on the shelf, no one circles back with a photo to confirm they actually went up correctly. Facing and planogram compliance ends up recorded as a line in a spreadsheet rather than as a dated image tied to a specific store.

Retailer and Promoter Engagement Fades

For wholesalers, tạp hóa owners, and the promoters working the floor, loyalty today usually means informal credit terms and cash, not a points system with any structure behind it. Brand pull only builds when a payout actually reaches a bank account or an e-wallet, and that link is often missing.

Onboarding Runs on Guesswork

A voice note is often how a new SKU launch, a planogram change, or an updated listing gets passed down the line. There's no quiz behind it, no certification, and no way to tell whether a given rep is actually prepared to run a WinMart+ KAM call or take on a tạp hóa beat in a province the company has only just entered.

Apps that Run the System

Field Apps Built for KAMs, Reps, and Merchandisers

Every day's field-to-channel activity flows through two 1Channel apps. Android and iOS are both supported, with everything syncing back to one cloud admin portal.

Retail Solutions in Detail

A Closer Look at Every Retail Module

Each product page below covers one module in depth, shaped for Vietnam's modern-trade chain accounts, wholesale and distribution, tạp hóa and traditional-market general trade, and the back-office teams tying it together.

Core Module

SFA for KAMs, Reps, and Van Crews

Vietnamese retail field teams run on one cloud sales force automation platform, and one app underneath it. A KAM logging a call at Bach Hoa Xanh, a rep working a tạp hóa or traditional-market beat, and a van-sales run pushing into freshly opened minimart territory all feed into the same stream, visits verified by GPS, orders captured live, everything routed straight back to head office.

  • Geo-Fenced Attendance, an AI liveness check on a selfie confirms the rep is actually standing at the chain, tạp hóa, or minimart
  • Beat Plans for Trade and Chain, AI orders the route across a long north-south territory and maps each outlet to a day, rural minimart routes included
  • Order Capture, history suggests the order at SKU level, the scheme applies itself, and the VND total updates live
  • Van Sales Mode, stock rides on the truck while invoicing is instant and settlement, cash, VietQR, or bank transfer, happens right at the outlet
  • 1Voice AI Assistant, ask it "orders pending KAM approval" or "outlets not visited this week" and it answers on the spot

DMS for Distributors, Sub-Distributors, and Wholesalers

One portal carries Vietnam's modern-trade chain accounts and general trade through order booking, batch-level stock, VND pricing, trade schemes, GRN, and payment reconciliation, on a cloud distributor management system built for exactly that chain: distributor to sub-distributor to wholesaler, feeding tạp hóa stores, traditional markets, and a minimart network that keeps pushing further into rural provinces. When sell-out figures come back from chain partners, they reconcile against DMS invoices so replenishment is based on what actually moved.

  • Order to Invoice, allocation runs FIFO or FEFO, schemes apply automatically, and a VND credit limit blocks the sub-distributor ledger before it goes over
  • Batch and Expiry Control, stock is tracked warehouse by warehouse, with near-expiry alerts on regulated food, beverage, and pharmacy lines
  • Channel Pricing, a modern-trade chain account, a wholesaler, and a tạp hóa or traditional-market trader each work off their own price list
  • VND Invoicing & E-Invoicing, VietQR, e-wallet, and bank-transfer payments are captured and allocated automatically, ageing is tracked, and orders block themselves once credit is breached
  • GRN & Returns, credit notes and configurable workflow triggers sit behind multi-level approvals

Channel Loyalty

Loyalty for Retailers, Wholesalers, and Promoters

A cloud loyalty platform built for the Vietnamese trade keeps tạp hóa owners, wholesalers, and in-store promoters engaged rather than passive. Points come in through pack QR, DMS sales feeds, or an uploaded invoice, and go back out to a bank account, an e-wallet such as MoMo, ZaloPay, or VNPAY, a voucher, or a catalogue reward, whichever the programme is set up to pay.

  • Pack QR & Invoice Earning, scans are fraud-checked and invoices carry multi-level approval
  • Instant VND Payouts, a retailer's bank account or an e-wallet such as MoMo, ZaloPay, or VNPAY gets paid directly, with no cheque cycle to manage
  • Gamification, Silver/Gold/Platinum tiers sit alongside leaderboards, spin-the-wheel, and scratch cards
  • WhatsApp & SMS Automation, alerts cover balance, expiry, and campaign updates

Retail Execution

Merchandising for Chain and Supermarket Audits

An AI retail execution platform for Vietnam turns shelf presence into something a chain actually pays for. Store lists and picture-of-success references track secondary displays at WinMart+, Bach Hoa Xanh, and Co.op Food, while L1/L2/L3 audits catch the mismatches. No one needs to count facings by hand: cloud image recognition scores eye-level placement, brand blocking, and competitor share straight from a shelf photo.

  • Secondary Display & Tết Campaigns, budgeted or ad hoc, deployment covers both Tết and Mid-Autumn Festival
  • L1/L2/L3 Audits, scoring runs through multi-tier workflows that flag mismatches automatically
  • Visibility Index, facings, hot-zone coverage, and brand-blocking show up per chain account, broken out brand by brand
  • AI Image Recognition, one shelf photo yields planogram compliance, share-of-shelf, and competitor share

Training & Learning

LMS for KAMs, Reps, and Merchandisers

On a cloud sales team LMS, KAMs, Sales Representatives, van crews, in-store promoters, and merchandisers each follow a structured learning track through four session types, classroom sessions with photo attendance, virtual sessions over Meet, Teams, or Zoom, geo-tagged in-store coaching, and e-learning, with new modules gated behind level-based unlocks.

  • Four Session Types, attendance logs itself across classroom, virtual, in-store, and e-learning sessions
  • Gamified Quizzes, standard and image-based formats support configurable pass marks and negative marking
  • Level Unlocks, promotion gates run on tenure, certification, and productivity, not seniority alone
  • Certificates & Analytics, badges issue automatically, with progress reports available to both trainer and rep

How 1Channel Helps

What Makes 1Channel a Fit for Vietnamese Retail and Modern Trade

From WinMart+, Bach Hoa Xanh, and Co.op Food through wholesale and distribution, tạp hóa and traditional-market general trade, and modern-trade back-office teams, here is where the 1Channel cloud platform earns its place in a Vietnamese retail operation.

One Connected Suite

SFA, DMS, CRM, loyalty, merchandising, and LMS all sit inside a single cloud platform, so field activity, chain data, and training records travel together instead of living apart across modern and general trade.

Fully Configurable

Nothing about the shape is fixed. Workflows, dashboards, schemes, and reports all configure around how the business actually runs, chain listing terms, the distributor-to-wholesaler flow, tạp hóa pricing, whatever the setup calls for.

AI Where It Helps

Across a long, three-region territory, AI optimises the beat, checks shelf images, screens QR scans for fraud, and powers a natural-language assistant sitting on top of the analytics layer.

Mobile App for Field Teams

Whether a Sales Representative is on a chain, tạp hóa, or minimart route in any province, visits, orders, and photos get captured on the spot and sync straight to the cloud.

Enterprise Security

Chain and store data stays behind role-based access and encryption, both in transit and at rest, aligned with the Law on Personal Data Protection, with an audit trail running across every module.

ERP & DMS Integration

SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage, and whatever DMS or warehouse tools are already in place connect through REST APIs and SFTP.

Quick Go-Live

Rollout happens module by module. A brand can start with just SFA or DMS in one region, then bring in loyalty, merchandising, and LMS later without disrupting the workflow already running.

White-Labelled Apps

Rep and partner apps go out under your own brand, published to Google Play and the App Store, with secure authentication built in.
