Quick answer

What is a distributor management system (DMS)?

A distributor management system is software that lets an FMCG distributor manage stock, secondary sales, retailer orders, schemes, claims and outstanding in one place. Stack18 builds it on Supply Chain OS or as custom software, with mobile apps for salesmen and van sales.

FAQ

FMCG Distributor DMS questions.

Ask us anything
Can salesmen work without internet in the market?

Yes. We design the mobile app to capture orders offline and sync when connectivity returns. We confirm the offline scope for your routes during discovery.

Do you integrate with the company's DMS or SFA?

Where the principal exposes an API or file format, we build the feed. This is scoped during discovery because every company differs.

Is this a separate product from your ERP?

It runs on Supply Chain OS, so stock, billing, accounts and DMS views share one record instead of being separate tools.

Is pricing per user?

Ready-made solutions carry no per-user fees. Pricing is a one-time edition price, with custom additions quoted at a fixed price.

Can we start with one godown or one company?

Yes. Many distributors start with one godown and add routes, companies and van sales in later phases.
