bb BizBytesFMCG

Your beat, your vans, your claims.

Anything will raise an invoice. This one knows that a van is a godown that moves, that the same shop is called on by two different men, and that a crushed carton coming back is a claim rather than a credit note.

Only in FMCG

The part a counter billing app has no idea about

Distribution is not retail with bigger numbers. What is below is why you would run FMCG rather than plain BizBytes Go.

Beats, visit days and salesmen

An outlet belongs to a route, never to a salesman — because the same shop is called on by one man for biscuits and another for soap. Who actually sold sits on the bill.

  • Routes, with the day of the week each is worked
  • A visit day per outlet, since one beat is rarely done in a day
  • Outlet code and type — kirana, supermarket, medical
  • Salesman targets, productivity and a scorecard
  • Orders taken ahead of the bill, with partial fulfilment

Godowns, and vans that are godownsStart Plus

Stock is not one number in one place. A van trip freezes both the stock and the cash it left with, and settles both when it comes back.

  • Stock held per godown, and transfers between them
  • A van loading is stock moved, not stock sold
  • Van trips closed against what returned and what was collected
  • Dispatch, reorder and dead-stock views

Batches, FEFO and rate revisionsStart Plus

A price revision arrives carton by carton. Each batch carries the MRP and the trade rate it actually landed at.

  • Earliest expiry goes out first, automatically
  • Per-batch MRP and PTR, held apart because a revision moves them differently
  • A shortfall never blocks a sale — it shows up instead
  • A restore replays the original allocation rather than re-running it

Claims, schemes and principals

Money you are owed by the company is not money you are owed by a shop, and the two should never be in one pile.

  • Claims raised against your principals, by type
  • Damaged returns become a claim, not sellable stock
  • Scheme accrual, and what each scheme actually earned
  • Outstanding split pro-rata across the companies you carry

Getting the money back in

Credit is the normal case here, not the exception — so new bills can start on it, and the limit is checked when the bill is saved.

  • A credit limit per outlet, enforced at billing
  • Credit days from the brand, or negotiated per shop
  • Cheques, payment promises and day settlements
  • Bills marked doubtful or written off, deliberately and visibly

Coming off what you use now

A distributor already has years of ledgers. They should not be typed in again.

  • Import from Busy
  • Opening balances imported for parties
  • Retailers, routes and salesmen brought in from a spreadsheet

And everything a billing app should already do

The same engine BizBytes Go runs on. Listed briefly because it is table stakes, not because it is an afterthought.

Selling

Fast billing, three-tier units with a custom weight, item and bill discounts in sequential levels, quotations, and sales returns.

Buying

Purchase bills and returns, supplier ledgers, and opening balances carried across from your old books.

GST

CGST/SGST and IGST on the bill, GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, HSN and ITC summaries, and the filing workbooks.

Money owed

Outstanding by party and by bill, payment in and out, bill-by-bill settlement, and ageing.

Works without internet

Bills, retailers and items keep saving with the line down and sync in order when it returns. Two devices editing the same record do not overwrite each other.

Printing

A4 and thermal, and your own invoice layouts.

Reports

Sales, purchase, stock, profit, day-end and a Monthly Profit sheet — one month's sales, cost of goods, every expense head and what is left. Ask for one in your own words, or have it arrive on a schedule.

Your team

Admin, manager, accountant and cashier, with per-page permissions enforced on the server and a shared password on destructive actions.
