The money is in the receivables
Price slabs per customer, credit limits enforced at the point of order, and a van sales app that keeps the road connected to the warehouse.
“Blocking orders automatically at the credit limit was uncomfortable for about three weeks. Then our average collection days dropped by eleven and nobody wanted to go back.”

The four things that quietly cost you money
Every industry has its own leaks. These are the ones we hear about most in this one.
Receivables ageing quietly
Everyone is 'good for it' until the total on the aged debtors report is bigger than your bank balance.
Pricing that lives in someone's head
Each customer has a rate, a slab, a scheme and a history. When that person is on leave, orders go out wrong.
Van stock nobody can verify
Loading sheets and returns are reconciled by trust rather than by system.
Order booking on paper
Salesmen collect orders in a notebook and the warehouse re-keys them, with the errors that implies.
How it runs on SumPOS
Four steps, in the order they actually happen on your floor.
Book the order
The salesman books on a phone against the customer's own price list, with stock availability and credit status visible.
Load the van
Issue stock to the van as a location, with a signed loading sheet and a live on-van balance.
Deliver and invoice
Invoice on delivery, capture partial returns, collect cash or record credit against the customer's limit.
Settle the route
End-of-day settlement reconciles cash, returns and remaining van stock in one screen.
What wholesale & distribution genuinely need
The features that are not optional in this industry, however good the rest of a system looks.
Tiered & slab pricing
Price by customer, group, quantity slab, or scheme - applied automatically at order entry.
Credit control
Limits, ageing, overdue blocks and post-dated cheques, enforced where the order is taken.
Van sales & routes
Vans as stock locations, route plans, journey settlement and GPS-stamped deliveries.
Order booking app
Offline-capable booking with catalogue photos, last-order recall and target tracking per salesman.
Wholesale & Distribution - common questions
Still unsure about something? Ask us directly - a person answers, usually the same day.
Yes. The order booking app is offline-first - catalogue, prices, customer history and credit status are cached, and orders sync when the phone finds a connection.
