ERP for distribution: control of receivables, warehouses, and margin on every SKU
Subheadline
For a distributor, money gets stuck in two places: in receivables that grow faster than revenue, and in dead stock in the warehouses. Without a single system, you can't see which customer owes how much, which SKU is loss-making, and where a warehouse is overstocked. viasoft ERP on the ERPNext platform, localized for Azerbaijan, brings purchasing, warehouses, sales, and settlements into one database.
Sound familiar?
- Receivables grow, but who owes how much has to be pieced together by hand.
- Several warehouses, and no unified stock with reservations against orders.
- You keep per-customer and per-category price lists in Excel and make pricing errors.
- You can't see which SKUs actually bring margin and which drag it down.
- Shipment, invoice, and payment live in different places.
What viasoft ERP gives distribution
- Receivables control — who owes, how much, and how many days overdue; credit limits by customer and blocking shipments beyond the limit.
- Multi-warehouse with reservations — unified stock across warehouses, reservation against an order, transfers; you see where it's overstocked.
- Per-customer and per-category price lists — prices and discounts in the system, without manual errors.
- Margin by SKU and customer — which goods and which buyers actually earn.
- e-qaimə on shipment, manats, ÖDV/VAT — electronic invoices straight from the system.
Why it's cheaper and risk-free
The same triple offer of viasoft ERP: no per-user fee (usually at least half the cost), your code, a free switch with payment after 3 months, in stages. The industry preset speeds up the rollout.
Typical scenario (illustration, not a real client)
A distributor: sales, warehouse, and settlements in different programs, receivables growing, no picture by SKU. How this usually gets solved with us: a 1-day ERP audit → migrating one process for free as proof → a single database with receivables, limits, and multi-warehouse → e-qaimə on shipment → a dashboard of receivables, turnover, and margin by SKU. The old programs run in parallel until acceptance.
