Why buyers care now

FMCG teams need intelligence, not another form app

A DMS alone cannot make retailers engage with schemes or guide salesmen to the next best action.

Excel + WhatsApp

Orders, proof, schemes and payout status get scattered across people and chats.

Basic SFA

Visits and GPS are captured, but the app does not guide the next best action.

DMS-only

Distributor transactions are visible, but retailer demand and scheme engagement stay weak.

Manual payouts

Visibility proof, approval, service value and withdrawal tracking become hard to reconcile.

Product proof

Six connected modules buyers can pilot immediately

Route Salesman AI Route Coach

Guides the field user to the next outlet, program work, retailer self-order follow-up and best scheme pitch.

Retailer Retailer Ordering PWA

Retailers can browse trade schemes, add SKUs to cart, place orders and track rewards without waiting for a visit.

Scheme Trade Scheme Studio

Create product, family, category, brand and company achievement schemes with slab pricing and retailer-facing cards.

Distributor Distributor Portal

Orders, invoices, inventory, GRN, company orders and reports stay connected to retailer and salesman demand.

Payout Visibility Proof To Payout

Photo albums, GPS, review queues, final payout approval, marketplace earnings ledger and withdrawal tracking.

KPI Monthly KPI Board

Company-published KPIs, daily mission cards, rank, achievement, incentive readiness and manager rollups.
