Stockist Module
For companies distributing through regional stockists rather than shipping every order from a single warehouse.
What it does
Where a company works with regional stockists (local partners holding stock closer to distributors), this module manages stock allocation to each stockist, replenishment requests, and local order fulfilment.
A typical workflow
- Head office allocates an initial stock quantity to a regional stockist based on expected local demand.
- As the stockist fulfils local orders, their remaining stock is tracked separately from the central warehouse.
- When their stock runs low, the stockist submits a replenishment request for approval.
- Sales fulfilled through the stockist are attributed correctly for commission, exactly as if fulfilled centrally.
Core functions
- Stock allocation from central warehouse to each stockist location
- Replenishment request and approval workflow
- Stockist-level sales and commission attribution
- Stockist performance reporting (fulfilment speed, local sales volume)
- Coordination with the main inventory module for total stock visibility
Key benefits
- ✓Faster local fulfilment without losing central visibility over total stock.
- ✓Replenishment requests follow a clear approval workflow, not ad-hoc phone calls.
- ✓Commission attribution stays accurate even when orders are fulfilled locally.
- ✓Stockist-level reporting highlights which regions need more stock support.
How it connects to other modules
| Module | What it shares |
|---|---|
| Inventory | Shares the same underlying stock ledger |
| Admin Back-Office | Commission attribution for stockist-fulfilled sales |
| E-Sales | Orders routed to the nearest stockist where applicable |
Why it matters
Faster local fulfilment through stockists usually means happier distributors and fewer delivery complaints — but only if the stock and sales data ties back cleanly to the main system, which is what this module is for.
Common questions about the Stockist Module
Inventory tracks your central warehouse; Stockist manages how stock is allocated out to regional partner locations and tracked separately once it leaves the main warehouse.
Through a replenishment request that follows an approval workflow, rather than an ad-hoc phone call or message to head office.
Yes, sales fulfilled through a stockist are attributed correctly for commission, exactly as if fulfilled centrally.
Yes, stockist-level reporting covers fulfilment speed and local sales volume.
