Where distribution businesses lose money
Distribution runs on thin margins, so small leaks matter. An order is re-typed from a WhatsApp message and a line goes wrong. Credit is extended on someone's memory of how a customer pays. A fast seller runs out while slow stock ties up cash. A discount goes through that nobody approved. Payments by mobile money, bank deposit or cash are matched to invoices by hand, weeks later.
A typical distributor earns 5-8 percent of sales. At that margin, every 1 percent of revenue you stop losing adds 12 to 20 percent of profit. You do not need to sell more to see more.

Disti iQ: one run from order to cash
Disti iQ follows every order from the first message to reconciled cash. It checks credit and stock before an order is confirmed, keeps dispatch, delivery and invoicing connected, and matches payments to invoices. Your people stay in control: Disti iQ proposes, you decide.
Orders that arrive on WhatsApp, SMS or Email become one clean, checkable record, without re-typing.
Each order is assessed against the customer's limit, order trend and history, with the reasons shown, and against current stock and prices.
Payment reminders drafted for your approval, payments matched to invoices, and days sales outstanding, days payable and days of inventory shown separately.
Stock movements tracked against the Tax Authority records requirement, so you can see what is ready to report.
Works with what you run
Already have an ERP, CRM or fleet system? Disti iQ reads from it first and changes nothing without your approval. Running on Spreadsheets, Email and WhatsApp? There is nothing to rip out. Orders keep arriving the way your customers send them.
