FMCG distributors and wholesalers live or die on the beat. Salesmen leave the depot with a van full of stock, cover a fixed route of retailers, sell and invoice on the doorstep, collect cash or extend credit, and reconcile the van at end of day. ERPNext ships strong native building blocks for this — Stock Entry, Sales Invoice, POS, Delivery Note, Warehouse, and Payment Entry — but it has no native concept of a route, a beat plan, a van as a mobile selling warehouse, or a salesman-facing app that works with intermittent connectivity. Distributors end up bolting spreadsheets and WhatsApp onto ERPNext, and van reconciliation becomes a nightly manual chore that hides shrinkage and unbilled stock.

We build a proper Frappe app — installed on your own bench alongside ERPNext, not a hosted black box — that adds the distribution layer ERPNext core is missing. The app introduces first-class DocTypes such as Route/Beat, Route Visit, Van, Van Load (load-in), and Van Unload (load-out reconciliation), each mapped to a per-van Warehouse so stock movement flows through native ERPNext ledgers rather than around them. Load-in creates a Stock Entry (Material Transfer) from the depot warehouse to the van warehouse; every on-route sale draws down that van warehouse, so at any moment the van's book stock is a real, queryable balance. Salesmen take orders and cut invoices against the beat's planned customer list, and route/beat sequencing drives their daily worklist.

Technically, the moving parts are wired the ERPNext way. Business rules run in hooks.py document events — validate, on_submit, on_cancel — for example blocking a van sale that exceeds van stock, or auto-generating the reconciliation Stock Entry when a Van Unload is submitted. Server-side automation and heavier reconciliation logic live in whitelisted server methods and scheduler events (scheduler_events in hooks.py) — nightly route settlement, credit-limit sweeps, and unvisited-customer flags. The mobile salesman experience is driven through the Frappe REST API and custom @frappe.whitelist() methods so the field app can pull the day's beat, post orders, and record Payment Entry collections; client scripts enforce on-form rules (credit hold, price-list selection, minimum order) inside the Desk. Access is governed by ERPNext permissions and dedicated role profiles (Van Salesman, Route Supervisor, Distribution Manager) so a salesman only sees their own van, route, and customers. We target current Frappe/ERPNext v15 and forward-compatibility with v16.

Because this is build-to-order, nothing ships until we have agreed your exact scope. It starts with a short scoping call, after which we confirm the DocType model, your route/beat structure, pricing and credit rules, and the mobile flows you actually use. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope. We build on a staging bench, run UAT with your team, and hand over installable source, a git repository, and documentation — then support you through go-live. No fabricated benchmarks, no instant download: a real app, built for your distribution operation, installed and supported by ECOSIRE.
