FMCG Distribution Software for Distributors in Kerala
It is six in the evening. The salesmen are back, and someone in the office is typing the day's orders from WhatsApp messages and diary pages. Half the bills need a scheme applied by hand. A few orders were for stock that is not in the godown.
JMJ FMCG Distribution ERP closes that gap. It is the system behind the Field Force Connect app: orders confirmed on a salesman's phone are live in the ERP, the warehouse sees the picklist, accounts sees the pending invoice, and schemes and credit limits are applied automatically.

What is JMJ FMCG Distribution ERP?
JMJ FMCG Distribution ERP is a field-first distribution system that connects the sales team's app, the warehouse and the accounts in real time, so an order is entered once and flows through to picking, invoicing and collection.
In FMCG, the biggest enemy is the time gap between taking an order and shipping it. That gap usually fills with manual re-entry and billing errors. Removing the re-entry shortens the order-to-cash cycle and gives a live view of stock, sales and outstanding.

Warehouse management: bins, barcodes and pick lists
For distributors whose godown has grown past "the storekeeper knows where it is": a wrong item reaches an important customer, finding one product takes a walk round the whole godown, the physical count never matches the system, or new stock sits at the dock unrecorded and can't be sold. Bin-level stock, scanned moves and pick lists sit inside the same ERP as billing and accounts.
Receiving and put-away
- Stock scanned as it arrives
- The system suggests a bin, for example Aisle 3, Rack 5, Bin 2
- Worker scans the bin to confirm; stock is live at once
Picking and packing
- Each order becomes a digital pick list in walking order
- Every item scanned to check it before packing
Barcoding
- Bins, items and shipping labels carry barcodes
- Each move checked against the order, not by eye
Cycle counting
- Count a small section every day
- No shutdown for a full annual stock-take
Warehouse management is about the inside of one godown: bins, picking and scanning. Stock across several branches and godowns is handled by multi-location inventory, which Retail Point and this ERP share.
Do we still need a separate accounting package?
Many distributors run billing in one system and accounts in Tally, so the accounting data is always days behind. That makes it hard to know true cash flow or today's outstanding.
JMJ FMCG Distribution ERP is a full-featured accounting ERP. Invoices, receipts and expenses post directly, so orders, stock and books live in the same system, and the credit limit a salesman sees on the app reflects today's balance.

Why talk to JMJ

Both halves from one team. The ERP and the app are built by the same people, so orders, stock and accounts stay in one system.
Since 2001. More than 250 projects for over 100 customers, with Kerala distributors supported from Kochi.
Questions distributors ask
What is FMCG distribution software?
FMCG distribution software runs a distributor's orders, pricing schemes, warehouse, van sales, billing, collections and accounts in one system. JMJ FMCG Distribution ERP also connects to the Field Force Connect mobile app, so orders taken in the shop reach the office without being re-typed.
How does the ERP handle complex schemes?
You set a scheme once, item-wise, customer-wise, route-wise or quantity-based, including free items and stacked discounts. The system applies it automatically at billing, so salesmen and billing staff do not have to work it out.
Do we still need Tally?
JMJ FMCG Distribution ERP has full accounting built in, so invoices, payments, expenses and outstanding live in the same system as orders and stock, without a separate accounting package for day-to-day work. If your auditor needs data in another format, discuss it with the JMJ team.
Can salesmen see live stock and outstanding?
Yes. Through the Field Force Connect app, salesmen see live stock and each retailer's current outstanding and credit limit, and over-limit sales can be blocked automatically.
Does it support van sales?
Yes. Vans can be pre-loaded with suggested stock, van inventory is tracked, and van staff generate invoices with mobile printers and collect payments on the spot. Route-wise profitability and collections are reported.
Does it handle batch and expiry?
Yes. Stock across multiple warehouse locations is tracked by batch and expiry, and picking follows first-expiry, first-out (FEFO).
Does it support GST e-invoicing?
Yes, straight from the billing entries.
Which businesses use it?
FMCG super stockists, C&F agents, multi-brand regional distributors, food and beverage distributors and FMCG manufacturers with their own distribution.
