Four blind spots where revenue is lost

The gap opens after planning. Each area has its owner, but delays affect the whole business.

01Regional manager / supervisor

Field sales

A visit is unconfirmed, a route is incomplete, and the reason behind the result is unclear.

GPS · visit check-in · route compliance
02Trade marketing

Shelf

A product is missing from the shelf, or the price or promotion differs from the plan. The cause of lost sales is spotted late.

Photos · on-shelf availability (OSA) and out-of-stock (OOS) · display standards
03Finance director

Cash

An order ships before overdue debt, the credit limit and promised payment are checked.

Days sales outstanding (DSO) · debt by age · credit limit
04Commercial director

Distributors

Shipments to distributors are visible, but their sales to outlets and remaining stock must be collected separately.

Five execution workstreams

Each workstream closes a distinct loss area and can scale in stages. Master data, roles and analytics remain shared.

GPS, check-in, required steps, photos and outcomes are captured even without connectivity.

Workstream outcome

Every visit is verified, every outcome is explained and the next route is driven by evidence.

Workstream metrics
  • Productive visits, %Share of store visits that end with an order.
  • Route complianceShare of the planned route completed as scheduled.
  • Average order valueAverage value of orders in the selected period.
  • Active outletsNumber of outlets with a shipment in the selected period.

The workstreams operate independently while sharing customer, outlet and SKU master data and one analytics layer.

CUSTOMER STORY

From stock to delivery

How Green Line Trading connected product records, shipment documents and delivery operations.

Green Line Trading

FMCG distribution · Uzbekistan

The challenge
Trace digitally marked goods from the warehouse to the customer and keep retail outlet records up to date.
What was implemented
Product-marking records, a unified customer record with tax-ID duplicate checks, and electronic invoices based on actual shipments.
In daily operations
The delivery representative issues the document at shipment. The team can see delivery status, timing and routes in the mobile system.

DISTRIBUTION GROUP CONTROL

From group to outlet

Compare sales, stock, orders and receivables across branches and distributors by country and portfolio. Drill down to contract, SKU and outlet. Coverage depends on participant data and the agreed exchange.

MANAGEMENT GEOGRAPHY

ORDER CHANNEL AND CASH CYCLE

Orders and receivables

B2B Ordering accepts orders through Telegram. Finance & AR checks receivables and credit limits against company rules. These modules handle orders and receivables; Smartup FIN provides financial reporting.

B2B CHANNEL

Telegram bot for direct ordering

The outlet sees its catalogue, prices and promotions, repeats an order and receives status updates without calling an operator.

  • Customer-specific prices and promotions
  • Repeat ordering without re-entry
  • Statuses, documents and notifications

FINANCE & AR

Credit risk is visible before dispatch

Receivables, aging and available credit are checked before confirmation; payments and promised payment dates help determine the next action.

  • Receivables and aging analysis
  • Limits and blocks before ordering
  • Payment promises, payments and ERP reconciliation

A distribution management platform.

Choose your accounting model: connect an existing ERP or use the Smartup ERP core. Agree data scope, system responsibilities and accounting boundaries before launch.

Platform: SFA, FIN, B2B Marketplace and POS
Smartup + existing ERP

An existing ERP keeps its agreed accounting and/or master-data role, while Smartup manages the agreed distribution-execution scope and exchanges documents, identifiers and statuses within the project.

Explore integrations
Smartup with native ERP core

Smartup combines distribution execution and ERP/accounting for the agreed project scope; country requirements, accounting policy, opening balances, integrations and migration boundaries are set during implementation.

Discuss implementation

An exception or signal becomes a task with an owner, due date and evidence; verification closes the result and returns it to the next management cycle.

Shared dataAPI and ERPProject rulesRoles and auditDeployment scope agreed per project

Integration

30+ confirmed integrations

Smartup exchanges master data, prices, stock, orders, payments and statuses with the systems in your project. Updates depend on connectivity and the agreed exchange frequency.

30+ is the confirmed Smartup integration catalogue. Compatibility with your system version, data scope, exchange directions and frequency are checked for the project. An existing ERP retains its agreed accounting and master-data role; the Smartup ERP core can handle the agreed accounting scope.

  1. 01 · EXISTING ERP

    Data source

    In this model, the ERP retains agreed master data and accounting responsibilities. The project defines which customers, SKUs, prices, stock and rules are exchanged.

    Routes, visits, shelf execution, orders, delivery and collection run in one operational layer.

A pilot with your data

KPIs are measured against your baseline. A first production scope can go live in as little as four weeks, depending on modules, integrations and data readiness.

What teams usually ask before a pilot

Pilot and commercial terms

Where to start, how long launch takes and how impact is proven.

01How long does implementation take, and what determines the timeline?

The first production-ready scope can go live in as little as four weeks. The timeline depends on three things: how many workstreams you launch at once, which integrations your accounting or ERP system requires, and the quality of customer, outlet and SKU master data. A solution covering several thousand outlets is rolled out in stages; the overall timeline is defined after reviewing the project scope.

02How is pricing calculated?

Pricing combines a base subscription, user licenses and the modules you activate. Implementation - configuration, integrations and team training - is scoped separately. The final configuration depends on field-team size, selected workstreams and integration depth, so we calculate it after reviewing your process.

Architecture and field work

The ERP boundary, data exchange and offline field execution.

03What happens to our existing ERP and accounting system?

You can keep it. Smartup supports two project models: integration with an existing ERP, which retains its agreed accounting and master-data responsibilities, or the native Smartup ERP core for the agreed distribution scope. In both models, data ownership, exchange direction and synchronization frequency are fixed in the project integration map.

04How does the system work when field teams are offline?

The field-sales app works without an internet connection: visits, GPS data, required steps and shelf photos are stored on the device. When connectivity returns, records are synchronized with their event order and timestamps. Until then, new records are available on the employee’s device.

Governance and scale

Multiple distributors, portfolios, access and data residency.

05Can one Smartup environment manage multiple branches and distributors?

Yes. Smartup supports a governed hierarchy from group and country to legal entity, branch or distributor, warehouse and territory. Management sees consolidated KPIs and can drill down to a distributor, outlet, order or debt item. Access is role-based; in the existing-ERP model, each participant’s system keeps its agreed role.

06Where is data hosted, and how are localization requirements met?

Data is hosted in Tier III data centers. Clients in Uzbekistan can choose in-country hosting in line with personal-data requirements. On-premise deployment inside your environment is also available when required by security policy. Access is controlled by role. Sign-ins, user actions and document history support audits; the required logging coverage is checked for each project.
