SAP ERP Solution For FMCG Wholesale Distribution Industry
Visibility, Control & Profitability for Wholesale FMCG Distributors
The FMCG Wholesale Distribution sector serves as the critical link between consumer goods manufacturers and retail consumers across general trade, modern trade, kirana stores, and e‑commerce channels. High SKU volumes, rapid turnover, geographic complexity (urban/rural), and thin profit margins define this highly competitive landscape. Effective order-to-delivery operations, cold-chain coordination, GST invoicing, and real-time logistics visibility are essential to stay ahead.

Challenges of FMCG Wholesale Distribution
1
Inventory Complexity Across SKUs & Batches
Managing hundreds or thousands of SKUs, expiry dates, batches, and stock-outs vs. overstock balance is highly demanding.
2
Multi-Distributor Coordination & Fragmentation
Regional distributors, backbone delivery partners, and field sales teams operate in silos, causing delays and lack of visibility.
3
Logistics & Route Optimization
Frequent last-mile failures, high transport costs, and inefficient route planning degrade margins.
4
Compliance & Billing Complexity
Automated GST invoicing, credit notes, return handling, and compliance across state jurisdictions are critical yet error-prone without automation.
5
Demand Volatility & Forecasting Accuracy
Rapidly changing consumer preferences, promotions, and small brand disruption create forecasting errors and stock misalignments.
6
Supply Chain Disruptions & Infrastructure Gaps
Cold storage deficiencies, inconsistent infrastructure, and transportation bottlenecks affect perishability and delivery reliability.
