THE MISSION

A Prominent Beverage Manufacturer,  Seller and Distributor in FY22 announced that post-covid downturn, it was aiming for an annual revenue growth upwards of 30% in FY23 from the previous year. For this, their biggest nightmare was reconciliation of Inventory Last-Mile. The Management decided to up their secondary sales and distribution game, a key piece of the growth puzzle, by adding several elements of Automation and Technology at the Last Mile – i.e. their Distributors.

THE SOLUTION

The Management partnered with BluPrints to Introduce last mile Automation for On the Spot Receipt generation as proof of transaction, and   E-way   Bill   generation,   by   empowering   each   distributor   with Wireless Handheld Printers.

These handy, Inkless, Economical, Environment Friendly and User Friendly printers, have since then been quickly and widely adopted as the standard IT Infrastructure for the  FMCG Distribution  Industry  to DRIVE EFFICIENCY AND GROWTH.

THE BENEFITS

Real-Time Invoicing

Distributors have the freedom to generate the receipt and E-way Bill at last mile, and directly order from the Distribution Van

Accuracy in Inventory Management

Since the distributor is purchasing in real time, there is no change post bill generation, and hence no scope of out of turn supply/rejection of any inventory,

Elimination of Pilferage

A Consequence of Last mile Spot-Billing is that there is no scope left for bribery or un-accounted cash payments for out of turn supply/rejection of goods,

AT AGLANCE

Challenges

• Pre-generated Invoices and E-way Bills changed by Distributors when the Distribution Van Arrived.
• Changes in Bill would lead to Cash Transactions and thus pilferage.
• Inventory planning and reconciliation messed up due to random last-minute changes in distributor demand.
• GST   Invoice   changes   mean   alteration of E-way Bills – a big accounting challenge
