Wholesale Distribution Software for FMCG & Food
Hundreds of small orders a day, margins measured in paise, and stock that expires while you sleep. Trade Node runs FMCG wholesale at retail speed — expiry-aware stock, self-service reordering, and collections that never fall behind the vans.
- Expiry-first rotation
- High-frequency ordering
- Same-day collections
The problems this trade lives with
- Expiry eats the margin: FEFO rotation on paper means near-expiry stock is discovered when it is already unsellable. In food and FMCG, dead stock is not a risk — it is a recurring line item.
- A hundred small orders, one overworked counter: Retailers order daily in small tickets. Manual order-taking caps how many outlets you can serve — growth means queues, not revenue.
- Schemes decide margins, spreadsheets decide schemes: Company schemes change monthly and your resale margin lives inside them. Applying and tracking them by hand leaks exactly the paise the business runs on.
- Credit spread thin across hundreds of outlets: Small balances across hundreds of retailers add up to serious capital — and no one can chase three hundred accounts from a diary.
How Trade Node runs it
- Stock that rotates itself: Batch and expiry-aware inventory surfaces near-expiry stock early and picks oldest-first by default — clearance happens while the stock still sells.
- Retailers reorder in seconds: The portal shows each outlet its usual items and last prices; repeat orders take a few taps. Serve more outlets with the same counter team.
- Schemes applied by the system, not the biller: Current schemes and slabs apply automatically on every order and invoice — margins protected at the only moment that matters: billing time.
- Collections at order frequency: Live outlet-wise balances, digital payment collection, and automatic reminders keep hundreds of small accounts current without a dedicated chaser.
- Today's numbers, today: SKU velocity, outlet-wise sales, and expiry-risk reports live — decide tomorrow's buying from today's data, not last month's.
Why one platform
- Built for velocity trades: Trade Node handles high order frequency and thin margins as the normal case — fast entry, automatic pricing, and self-service are the default, not premium add-ons.
- Expiry is a first-class citizen: Batch and expiry tracking through stock, picking, and reporting — because in this trade, inventory management is expiry management.
- Scale outlets, not headcount: Self-service ordering and automated collections mean adding the next hundred outlets does not mean adding the next three staff.

Frequently asked questions
How does Trade Node manage expiry-sensitive stock?
Inventory is batch- and expiry-aware. The system picks oldest-first by default and reports near-expiry stock early, so rotation and clearance happen before value is lost.
Can it handle very frequent small orders?
Yes. The platform is built for high order frequency — retailer self-service, repeat ordering in a few taps, and fast internal processing keep hundreds of daily orders moving.
How are company schemes and margins handled?
Active schemes and slabs are applied automatically at order and invoice time, and scheme utilization is tracked — protecting margins without manual scheme arithmetic.
