Trading & Distribution
Distributors, stockists and wholesale traders moving thousands of SKUs across branches with thin margins and long credit.
A trading business wins on two things: having the right stock in the right branch and collecting the money on time. Foundepth keeps stock by branch and bin, prices by customer and slab, and puts the receivable position in front of the order desk before a new order is accepted.
What pushes on this building.
Dead stock in one branch
An item can be out of stock in one city and sitting unmoved in another. Transfers happen only after a lost order.
Credit stretches quietly
Average collection days rise one week at a time. By the time it shows in the bank, the money is already 90 days out.
Price lists multiply
Dealer, retailer, institutional and scheme prices, each with slabs and validity. Wrong rates leak margin on every invoice.
Schemes and discounts
Principal schemes, quantity discounts and claims have to be tracked until the credit note actually arrives.
One order, floor by floor.
