Short answer: Distribution companies need to know where every sales representative is, what stock is in each van, what was sold and what was collected. Riv-ERP links the sales reps’ field operations to inventory, customer balances and accounting, with ZATCA-compliant invoices issued on the spot.
Challenges in distribution and van sales
- Van stock does not match what the rep reports at the end of the day.
- Customer balances and credit limits are not visible in the field.
- Collections are recorded late or lost.
- Rep performance and commissions are calculated manually.
