Stock is only real if every warehouse agrees on the number.
Distribution runs on three things: knowing what you actually have across every warehouse, knowing which customers you can safely extend credit to, and knowing which suppliers are actually reliable. Yukti keeps all three connected instead of scattered across separate spreadsheets and phone calls.
The Real Workflows Behind Wholesale & FMCG Distribution ERP
Real-time stock across every warehouse
- Real-time stock view across every warehouse location, with reorder rules per warehouse and product
- Automated routing assigns orders to the nearest warehouse with available stock
- Batch shipment consolidation reduces freight cost on same-region orders
Aging receivables and supplier performance on data
- Open invoices age automatically; follow-up sequences escalate before an account goes cold
- Matters when credit exposure spans dozens of accounts
- Tracks supplier on-time delivery, rejection rates, and pricing trends over time
Rolling cycle counts, not a shutdown day
- Barcode scanning speeds up receiving, put-away, and cycle counts
- Stock counts run on a rolling basis while operations keep running
- Dispatch ties to the sales order; shelf-life stock rotates first-expiry-first-out
Credit limits checked automatically before an order ships
- Credit limits, payment terms, and balance sit on the same record as the order
- A retailer near their limit gets flagged before shipping, not after
- Liquor and tobacco calculate excise duty by category; deposits track as their own line
How the Pieces Connect
One order drives stock, dispatch, and credit together
- Stock, dispatch, and credit normally run as three separate habits
- A sales order reserves stock the moment it's confirmed; dispatch consumes that reservation
- The same transaction posts to the customer's account and aging report
Purchasing sees supplier data, not gut feeling
- Purchasing sits on the same inventory data driving reorder rules
- Supplier's actual on-time delivery and rejection rate decide the next order
- A shortage can trigger a transfer suggestion before a new purchase order
Excise and packaging deposits post to one ledger
- No side ledger needed for excise-liable stock or packaging deposits
- Excise duty calculates by category in the same invoice as GST or VAT
- Deposit liabilities post to the same accounting system as everything else

Common Questions
Can Yukti stop an order from shipping if a retailer is already over their credit limit?
Yes. Credit limits, payment terms, and outstanding balance sit on the same customer record as the order being placed, so a new order that would push a retailer past their approved limit is flagged before it ships. That check happens automatically, not after a salesperson has already promised delivery and a warehouse has already picked the stock.
How does first-expiry-first-out rotation actually work for perishable or dated FMCG stock?
Lot and expiry tracking follows every batch received into a warehouse, and stock movement rules pick the oldest usable batch first for a given SKU. A picker fulfilling an order isn't relying on memory or a manual date check under time pressure, the system already knows which batch should move first.
We distribute liquor and tobacco. Does Yukti handle excise duty on those categories?
Yes. Excise duty calculates by product category on the same invoice as standard GST or VAT, so a regulated line item doesn't need a separate manual calculation or a side spreadsheet to get the tax right before an invoice goes out.
Can we track deposits on returnable packaging like crates, bottles, or kegs?
Yes. Returnable packaging that moves out on a deposit tracks as its own inventory and billing line, so what's owed back to the business or owed out to a retailer stays visible instead of getting lost between what shipped and what actually came back.
If one warehouse is low on a fast-moving SKU but another has surplus, does the system catch that before we place a new purchase order?
It should. Because purchasing, receiving, and warehouse stock share one ledger, the supply chain optimization agent can flag a transfer from a warehouse carrying surplus before a new purchase order goes out for stock that already exists elsewhere in the network.
Where a Simpler Tool Might Be Right
A single-location wholesaler with a small, stable SKU list and cash-only customers doesn't need multi-warehouse routing or credit-aging automation. A straightforward billing and inventory tool, the kind purpose-built distribution software already does well, will be faster to set up. This page is for distributors managing multiple warehouses, extended customer credit, or supplier relationships at real volume.
