A separate workspace for wholesalers and distributors: a live dashboard, rep targets, orders approved against credit limits with stock held, online store orders, route returns, van stock reconciled at day close, collections and post-dated cheques.
Bigz Distribution Manager gives your wholesale or distribution business its own workspace — for the office, the store, the reps and the vans.
Live dashboard
See today's orders by rep, route coverage, van stock, collections against what is due, cheques maturing, outstanding and overdue amounts by route, and your top and low performing reps.
Rep targets
Set monthly targets for every rep for sales, collections and shop visits, and see progress through the month.
Order, approve, deliver, collect
Reps take orders; the office approves them with a credit limit check and a bill-to-bill check (no new bill while an old one is unpaid, if you choose), and the stock is held for that order. Then deliver and collect — cash, cheque or post-dated cheques.
Online store orders
Orders from your online store arrive straight in sales orders with the same credit check and stock hold, and the store never sells stock that is already promised to another order.
Route returns and day close
Returns collected on the route get a credit note, and van stock is restocked and reconciled when the day is closed. If a rep's cash is short, the shortage is booked against that rep automatically.
Messages that save calls
Customers get an order confirmation, and each morning overdue customers get a reminder by WhatsApp or SMS from your own business number.
Ready-made roles
Start with roles for a distribution manager, a storekeeper and a van driver, each seeing only what they need.
Works with the field
Distribution Manager works with the rep phone app that keeps working offline, van sales, delivery runs and post-dated cheques.

Questions
Can orders be checked against credit limits before they go out?
Yes. When an order is approved it is checked against the customer's credit limit and, if you choose, bill-to-bill — no new bill while an old one is unpaid. Approved orders hold their stock so it is not sold to someone else.
What happens to orders from my online store?
They arrive straight in sales orders with the same credit check and stock hold. The store never sells stock that is already promised to another order.
How are van stock and returns handled?
Returns collected on the route get a credit note, and van stock is restocked and reconciled at day close. If a rep hands in less cash than expected, the shortage is booked against that rep automatically.
Can I set targets for my reps?
Yes. Set monthly targets for sales, collections and shop visits for each rep. The dashboard shows today's orders by rep and your top and low performers.
Does it work for reps without a signal?
Yes. The rep phone app keeps working offline and sends orders when it is back online. It works with van sales, delivery runs and post-dated cheques, and customers get order confirmations and morning overdue reminders by WhatsApp or SMS.
