The sales desk

Which regions are slipping — and what should each salesperson do today?

Volume, collections and distributor health on the same numbers finance uses — and a desk that goes out to the field every morning instead of waiting to be opened.

Collections by region

Who is behind on this month's collections, and by how much?

  • Collected against target by region, salesperson and customer
  • Reconciled to the bank, not to what the field reports
  • Drills from region to the invoices that make up the gap

Distributor credit risk

Whose credit do we hold, and whose can we safely extend?

  • Scores every distributor on overdue age, payment trend and order momentum
  • Recommends an action, with the reasons shown beside the score
  • Blocks dispatch to high-risk accounts until someone approves

Discount leakage

Where are we giving away more than the pricing policy allows?

  • Realised price against list, invoice by invoice
  • Heat-mapped by region and product family against the policy ceiling
  • Puts a rupee figure on every point above policy

Channel stock build-up

Are we selling to customers, or just filling our distributors' warehouses?

  • Primary dispatch against secondary sell-through, side by side
  • Weeks of stock sitting with distributors, by territory
  • Flags when this month's volume is being borrowed from next month's

Lapsing distributors

Who has quietly stopped ordering from us?

  • Learns each account's normal ordering rhythm
  • Flags when the gap since the last order stretches well beyond it
  • Hands the salesperson a reason to call, before a competitor does
Ordering later than usual 3 accounts · 64 KL a month at riskDemo
Singh Tractors · NorthUsually orders every 11 days · last order 29 days ago · avg 31 KL a month2.6× gap
Metro Fleet Services · WestUsually every 14 days · last order 37 days ago · avg 22 KL a month2.6× gap
Vinayak Traders · EastUsually every 9 days · last order 21 days ago · avg 11 KL a month2.3× gap

Context for the call: Singh Tractors' last two orders dropped gear oils — a competitor launched a tractor-oil scheme in their district in August.
