Where AI Actually Touches the Distributor Portal, Not Where We Wish It Did
We'd rather show exactly what the AI does than oversell it. Here's what's real today, inside the AI-Powered DMS:
- 💬AI Assistant, conversational portal queriesType a question or browse help topics on web or mobile: "Show my pending orders", "How to place an order?" Available across the portal and the mobile app.
- 📍Location-based order lookupsAsk by area, not just by customer name: "Show orders for Civil Lines" surfaces every open order tied to that beat or territory.
- 🆘System help & support integrationBrowse help topics inline instead of leaving the portal, with the same assistant answering process questions like "How does credit limit validation work?"
Go Deeper Into Every Module
How a single retailer order actually moves through the self-service portal, from placement to dispatch, payment, and field execution. It connects directly to distributor order management, payment & credit management, GRN & inward management, and distributor analytics.
Self-Service Order Placement & Auto Validation
When a distributor logs in, all customer orders from the app appear here. The distributor can also create orders manually for retailers, with the system checking every order before it's placed, not after.
How It Works
- See all customer orders placed from the mobile app the moment a distributor logs in, with no manual sync step
- Create orders manually for retailers by selecting customer, warehouse, payment type, and adding products with quantities
- Check stock availability, applicable schemes, and pricing automatically during order placement, pulled live from the price list
- Validate credit limit at the point of order, not after dispatch, so an over-limit order is caught before stock ever moves
- Reorder an existing order in one step instead of re-entering every line item
Why It Matters
- Self-service placement removes the back-and-forth of a distributor calling or emailing the back office for every order
- Automatic validation at the point of order catches a stock, scheme, pricing, or credit problem before it becomes a dispatch-time surprise
- One combined order view keeps app-placed and manually-created orders in the same list, not two separate systems
| Customer | Warehouse | Payment Type | Validation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sharma Retail | North Zone WH | Credit | Stock, Scheme & Credit OK |
| City Mart | West Zone WH | Advance | Validated |

Order Processing, Dispatch & Invoicing
Once an order is placed, stock allocation happens automatically if auto allocation is enabled, and FIFO/LIFO logic can apply. Distributors can take a retailer order from placement to invoice without leaving the portal.
How It Works
- Allocate stock automatically with FIFO/LIFO logic once the order passes validation, with no manual warehouse step
- Generate a delivery note and complete dispatch directly from the portal, with status visible at every stage
- Make the invoice available as soon as dispatch completes, rather than as a separate end-of-day batch run
- Track order status through Placed, Processing, Dispatched, and Delivered, the same stages the admin dashboard uses
- Process retailer orders end-to-end as a distributor, without a separate fulfilment team being involved
Why It Matters
- Automatic FIFO/LIFO allocation removes a manual warehouse decision from every single order
- Invoice available right after dispatch means a distributor isn't waiting on finance to close the loop
- End-to-end self-service fulfilment lets a distributor handle the full order lifecycle without a separate team in the loop
| Order ID | Allocation | Status |
|---|---|---|
| ORD-8821 | FIFO · North Zone WH | Processing |
| ORD-8819 | FIFO · West Zone WH | Dispatched · Invoiced |
Click a row: every field here is a real column from the actual dispatch screen.
Portal Inventory, GRN & Returns
The inventory screen gives a complete overview including total SKUs, inventory value, in-transit stock, and current stock levels SKU-wise. Incoming GRN receipts and returns both flow through the same portal.
How It Works
- View total SKUs, inventory value, in-transit stock, and current stock levels SKU-wise, with batch detail visible when batch management is enabled
- Update stock, transfer stock warehouse-to-warehouse, and view stock in/out transaction history directly from the portal
- Validate ordered quantity vs received quantity on incoming GRN, with receiving warehouse assignment
- Process a return by selecting the order, entering a return reason, and submitting it for approval
- Generate a credit note automatically after approval, for example a ₹50 credit note on a ₹100 order with ₹50 of damaged stock returned
Why It Matters
- SKU-wise stock visibility with batch detail lets a distributor check availability before promising a retailer a delivery date
- GRN validation at the point of receipt catches a quantity discrepancy before it becomes an inventory mismatch weeks later
- Automatic credit notes on approved returns remove a manual finance step from every damaged or short-received line
| SKU / Reference | Detail | Status |
|---|---|---|
| SKU-2201 | 8,460 Current Stock | In Stock |
| GRN-5510 | 1,200 Ordered · 1,200 Received | No Discrepancy |
Click a row: every field here is a real column from the actual inventory & GRN screen.
Payment, Credit & Customer Management
Payment recording, outstanding tracking, and the Customer Master that drives both of them, all sit inside the same self-service portal, with role-based access controlling who sees what.
How It Works
- Record payments by selecting customer, payment mode, reference number, and invoice allocation, automatic or manual
- See outstanding balances and over-limit status automatically, for example ₹2,79,765 over limit when the credit limit is ₹0
- Apply credit limit controls that stop orders after a breach, allow one first order through, or block future orders until dues clear
- Manage retailers, distributors, and super stockists in Customer Master, imported in bulk, added individually, or created from the app
- Assign territory, beat, and customer-specific pricing, and create roles that give distributors, super stockists, admins, warehouse users, and field teams different portal views
Why It Matters
- Automatic outstanding tracking means a distributor always knows a customer's real credit position before taking the next order
- Configurable credit limit controls let each organization decide how strictly to enforce limits, from a hard stop to a one-time grace order
- Role-based portal views keep a warehouse user from seeing admin settings, and a field rep from seeing another territory's data
| Customer | Payment Mode | Outstanding |
|---|---|---|
| Sharma Retail | Cheque | ₹2,79,765 Over Limit |
| City Mart | UPI | ₹0 Settled |
Click a row: every field here is a real column from the actual payments screen.
Mobile Portal, Market Visits & GPS
The mobile portal extends the self-service experience to field teams, with a dashboard, beat execution, in-app ordering, and GPS-based attendance, so a distributor's field staff never need a separate app for market visits.
How It Works
- See active targets, order history, weekly/monthly sales trends, top-selling SKUs, and coverage data on the app dashboard
- Open today's assigned beat directly on the home page, with all beats, all customers, and pending approvals visible inside Market
- Navigate to a customer's location with distance shown, call the customer directly, or edit outlet details on the spot
- Place orders, generate PDF orders, and process returns during the visit, with the same validation as the web portal
- Mark attendance with camera access and GPS/location capture at check-in, and access profile, theme, and help from the same app
Why It Matters
- One mobile app for dashboard, market visits, and ordering means field teams aren't juggling separate tools for each task
- GPS-based attendance with photo verification gives a verifiable record of a field visit without a manual sign-in sheet
- In-app ordering with full validation lets a distributor's field rep close a retailer order on the spot, not after returning to the office
| Beat / Visit | Detail | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Civil Lines Route 4 | 18 Customers, 3 Pending Approvals | Today's Beat |
| Sharma Retail Check-In | GPS Locked · Photo Captured | Verified |
Click a row: every field here is a real column from the actual mobile app screen.
Portal Analytics, Reports & Configuration
The dashboard loads the last 30 days' data by default with KPIs, charts, and top products, backed by 26+ configurable reports and organization-level settings that apply the same branding and compliance detail everywhere.
How It Works
- See today's orders and revenue, sales trend charts, order status distribution, and top-selling SKUs on the default 30-day dashboard
- Access 26+ default reports covering order & fulfilment, target achievement, outstanding, and payment collection, with configurable filters
- Export any report to CSV, with results cached for 7 days so team members don't regenerate the same export repeatedly
- Explore a report in a side panel without losing the current screen, filtering by warehouse, brand, status, or custom fields
- Configure organization details, GST and PAN information, company and mobile app logo, brand colors, time zone, date format, and financial year once at the org level, with compact and detailed invoice templates auto-applied everywhere
Why It Matters
- Dashboard KPIs by default surface order and revenue trends without anyone having to build a report first
- 26+ reports with a 7-day export cache mean operations and finance teams aren't regenerating the same report every day
- One organization-level configuration keeps every report, invoice, and credit note consistent without re-entering settings per document
| Report | Filters | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Order & Fulfilment Report | Warehouse, Status, Date Range | Export |
| Target Achievement Report | Territory, Product, Period | Export |
