A growing FMCG distributor from Indore was managing 3 outlets and 1 warehouse. But their entire system was manual and chaotic.
β Stock kept running out β and no one knew what went out-of-stock, when π§Ύ Purchase team ordered extra items β yet the essentials were still missing π No proper tracking of daily sales π¦ Movement between warehouse and outlets was confusing π± Orders came in on WhatsApp, but the team forgot to follow up π€― The owner was doing everything β stock, payments, team shiftsβ¦ all by himself
Revenue was leaking β and while the business seemed to grow, cash flow was always tight.

π‘ The Solution
We implemented a modular ERP setup tailored for retail + wholesale flow:
Hereβs what we did, step by step π
1οΈβ£ Step 1: Auto-Stock Refill Setup β
Minimum stock limits were set for each outlet. The moment inventory dropped, the system auto-triggered an internal stock transfer or a purchase request β no delays, no manual chasing.
2οΈβ£ Step 2: Live Dashboard β
The owner got a real-time mobile dashboard β showing sales, dispatch, and stock status outlet-wise, all in one glance.
3οΈβ£ Step 3: CRM + WhatsApp Auto-Followups β
The leads that used to come via WhatsApp were now directly captured into the CRM. Deal notes and follow-up reminders were automatically set β no more manual updates or missed calls.
4οΈβ£ Step 4: Purchase Approval Logic β
The team could only purchase approved quantities. The system used past sales data to apply smart reorder logic β no more overstocking or stockouts.
5οΈβ£ Step 5: HR + Attendance β
Shift-based attendance was activated. Payroll errors stopped completely, and overtime was auto-calculated β no manual corrections needed.
6οΈβ£ Step 6: Daily Expense & Finance Sync β
Outlet-wise daily expenses were entered via mobile. The owner received instant alerts on overspending β no more end-of-month surprises.
π The Result
π° βΉ9.2 Lakhs Recovered in Just 60 Days β by fixing missed sales & over-purchasing
π 90% reduction in stockouts β no lost sales
π¦ Timely warehouse transfers β zero emergency courier costs
π§βπΌ Manager workload down by 40% β focus shifted to growth
πΈ Cashflow clarity β vendor payments always on time
π Why It Worked
Smart triggers, not extra staff
Everything was tracked β nothing slipped through
WhatsApp + CRM integration = zero missed leads
Simple views = Owner had full clarity without asking
Real automation isnβt about fancy software β itβs about systems that actually work, every single day.
