Built for Founder of a growing FMCG brand
Get the visibility you need to scale past ₹50 Cr — orders with an audit trail, distributors you can see, schemes you can trust — without paying per user.
In short
SalesPort gives a growing-FMCG founder the distribution visibility needed to scale past ₹50 Cr — an audit trail for every order, real distributor and stock visibility, scheme control, and collections — on a one-time-plus-flat-AMC model instead of per-user SaaS. It's the minimal viable distribution stack for a brand that has outgrown WhatsApp but isn't ready to fund enterprise per-seat pricing.
The problems we hear first, in the words they're described to us.
Orders come over WhatsApp and calls, get typed into Excel, and some simply vanish. There's no audit trail, no single order book, and at month-end nobody can reconstruct what was actually ordered versus what shipped.
You're spending on trade schemes because everyone does, but you can't tell which ones drove sales and which just funded stocking. At your margins, guessing on schemes is guessing with the business.
Outstandings stretch and you find out late. Cash you need to fund growth is parked in the channel, and without a debtor view you're chasing collections from memory.
Adding distributors and reps multiplies the chaos when you can't see secondary sales or stock. The very growth you want becomes the thing that breaks the operation.
Enterprise SFA priced per seat doesn't fit a lean ₹20 Cr brand. You need real visibility at a price that respects your margins — not a tool built for a multinational's budget.
The specific workflows, screens, and reports you'll actually use.
Orders move off WhatsApp into a single system — captured on the retailer app or by the distributor — so every order has a timestamp, a source, and a status. Month-end reconciliation becomes a query, not an archaeology project.
See each distributor's stock, orders, and outstanding on one screen. You finally know what's in the channel, what's selling through, and which distributor needs attention before they stop ordering.
Configure schemes and track redemption at the outlet level, so you can see the sell-through each one generated against its cost — and stop funding the ones that only move stock sideways.
A debtor and ageing view turns collections from a memory exercise into a prioritised list, freeing the working capital that growth needs.
Start on a Starter deployment with flat AMC — real visibility without per-user fees — and add modules as you grow. Your software cost doesn't punish you for hiring or adding distributors.
The founders who break through ₹50 Cr almost always fix order capture first — once every order has an audit trail, the rest of the visibility follows.
The scheme realisation is universal: brands discover that a meaningful share of trade spend wasn't driving sell-through at all, just stocking.
Per-user pricing feels fine at launch and painful at scale — founders consistently tell us they wish they'd chosen a model that didn't tax growth.
