Get a project estimateCoordinating suppliers, plants and distributors
Supply chain problems are rarely about moving a single truck; they are about information arriving too late. A buyer does not know a supplier will miss a delivery, a plant runs short of one component, and a distributor overstocks slow SKUs while fast movers run out in the market.
We build supply chain software that shares the right data with the right partner: supplier portals for purchase orders and dispatch notices, inventory views across plants, warehouses and distributors, and distributor management systems that capture secondary sales. Planning then rests on what is happening now, not last month's spreadsheet.
Challenges
Supply chain coordination failures
Supplier visibility
PO confirmations, delivery dates and quality issues are tracked over email.
Inventory spread across nodes
Stock in plants, warehouses and with distributors is not visible to planners in one place.
Secondary sales blind spots
Brands cannot see what distributors sell to retailers, so production plans lag demand.
Traceability gaps
Recalls and quality issues cannot be traced quickly to batches and suppliers.
Solutions
Solutions across the supply chain
Across 3 areas
Custom ERP software connecting purchase, inventory, production, sales and GST compliance, alongside your existing accounting system.

Batch traceability
Supplier lot to finished batch to shipment, searchable for recalls and audits.
How it works
How a purchase order flows from supplier to distributor shelf
What distributors sell feeds the next round of orders, so the cycle keeps correcting itself.
- Procurement team
Step 1: Buyer issues a purchase order
POs are raised from reorder alerts or the production plan and published to the supplier portal instead of an email thread.
- Supplier portal
Step 2: Supplier confirms and sends an ASN
The supplier acknowledges the PO, commits a delivery date and sends an advance shipping notice before dispatch.
- Plant or warehouse
Step 3: Goods received and matched
The goods receipt, PO and supplier invoice are matched three ways, and quantity or price differences are held for review.
- Inventory view
Step 4: Stock visible at every location
Plant, warehouse and distributor stock appear in one view, with transfers suggested where one location runs short.
- Salesforce app
Step 5: Distributor sells to retailers
Sales reps capture retailer orders, and secondary sales and scheme claims flow into the distributor management system.
- Planning team
Step 6: Planners adjust the next cycle
Actual secondary sales and supplier performance feed the next forecast and production plan, which planners approve.
Then it starts again at step 1: Buyer issues a purchase order

Plain-English glossary
Supply chain terms, in plain English
- ASN
- Advance shipping notice: a supplier's message saying what has been dispatched and when it will arrive. Your receiving team can plan ahead and spot short shipments before the truck reaches the gate.
- Three-way matching
- Checking that the purchase order, goods receipt and supplier invoice agree before payment. It stops you paying for goods that never arrived or were billed at the wrong price.
- Secondary sales
- Sales from your distributors to retailers, as opposed to your own sales to distributors. They show real market demand, which is what production plans should follow.
- DMS
- Distributor management system: software that records distributor stock, retailer orders, schemes and claims. It gives a brand the market view its ERP alone cannot provide.
Product preview
Portals for suppliers, the field salesforce and planners
Supplier portal. Suppliers acknowledge POs, commit delivery dates and send dispatch notices in one place, so buyers stop chasing them by email. 
Salesforce app. Field reps take retailer orders on their phones, and each order becomes secondary sales data the brand can see the same day. 
Planning dashboard. Planners see how many days of stock each location holds, so transfers and production changes happen before shelves run empty.

Cost drivers
Factors behind a supply chain software estimate
Partner types
Suppliers, plants, distributors and retailers each need portals, roles and onboarding.
ERP integration
Syncing masters, orders and stock with SAP, Oracle, Tally or a legacy ERP often dominates effort.
Planning features
Forecasting and replenishment logic needs clean history and several rounds of tuning.
Estimates are written from your scope, with the effort and assumptions behind each line item.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How is a distributor management system different from an ERP?
An ERP runs your own company's transactions: procurement, production, primary sales to distributors and accounts. A DMS captures what happens after goods leave you — distributor stock, their sales to retailers, scheme claims and salesforce visits. Brands need both views to plan production against real market demand. We usually integrate the DMS with your ERP so primary invoices create distributor stock automatically, rather than duplicating ERP functions.
Can you forecast demand with AI?
We can build forecasting models from sales history, seasonality, promotions and festival calendars, and they often improve on a spreadsheet average. Accuracy depends heavily on data quality and history length, and new SKUs or disrupted periods are hard for any model. We start with a baseline to compare against, report forecast error openly, and keep planners in control: the model suggests, and people approve replenishment and production plans.
Will our suppliers actually use a portal?
Adoption improves when the portal saves suppliers work: POs in one place, faster payment when invoices match, and fewer chasing calls from your buyers. We keep onboarding simple, with mobile-friendly screens, WhatsApp or email alerts for new POs, and bulk uploads for larger suppliers. For suppliers who will not log in, your buyers can update on their behalf, so the data stays complete while adoption grows.
