Question 1

What is distributor management software?

Accepted Answer

Distributor management software is a system that runs a distributor's daily commerce — capturing orders, tracking godown inventory, applying pricing and schemes, raising GST-compliant invoices, and managing retailer credit and collections — from one connected system instead of paper, spreadsheets, and disconnected desktop tools.

Question 2

What is a distributor management system (DMS)?

Accepted Answer

A DMS is the software layer distributors use to run order-to-cash operations — sales, inventory, billing, and collections — in one place. Distiqo AI is a DMS that additionally automates the manual work in that cycle with AI agents.

Question 3

How does distributor management software work?

Accepted Answer

It connects the steps of a distributor's business — an order comes in, stock and pricing are checked, an invoice is raised, dispatch is coordinated, and the payment is tracked — so every step updates the same system instead of being re-entered separately in each one.

Question 4

What software do FMCG distributors use?

Accepted Answer

Most Indian FMCG distributors run on a combination of a desktop ERP or DMS, Tally for accounting, Excel for tracking, and WhatsApp for taking orders — usually not connected to each other. Distiqo AI replaces that combination with one connected platform.

Question 5

Can Distiqo AI take orders through WhatsApp?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Retailers can order the way they already do — a WhatsApp message. Distiqo AI reads it, matches SKUs, checks stock, and confirms the order without anyone re-typing it.

Question 6

Does Distiqo support GST e-invoicing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GST-compliant invoicing, including e-invoice and e-way bill generation, is part of the normal order flow — generated automatically when an order is confirmed, not handled as a separate compliance task.

Question 7

Can Distiqo replace Tally or an existing DMS?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Distiqo AI covers the ledger and accounting work Tally handles and the order/inventory work a DMS handles, in one connected system, and can import existing data from both during onboarding.

Question 8

Does Distiqo support inventory across multiple warehouses?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Stock is tracked live across every godown and location, so orders are only confirmed against what is actually available.

Question 9

Can Distiqo manage retailer credit and collections?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Distiqo tracks retailer credit terms and outstanding balances, and follows up on overdue payments automatically instead of relying on a team member to chase each one by hand.

Question 10

Does Distiqo provide field force management?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Beat plans, retailer assignments, and visit tracking are built in and connected to the same live orders and inventory the rest of the platform uses.

Question 11

Can Distiqo import Excel data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Existing masters and transaction data — from Excel, PDFs, or another system — can be imported and mapped into Distiqo during onboarding, so a distributor doesn't have to rebuild their business from scratch.

Question 12

How does AI automate distributor order management?

Accepted Answer

AI agents read incoming orders in plain language, interpret them against each retailer's history, validate SKUs and quantities, apply the correct rates and schemes, and confirm stock — then raise the invoice and queue dispatch, removing the end-of-day re-keying manual order management requires.

Question 13

What AI agents does Distiqo AI provide?

Accepted Answer

Distiqo AI includes an Order Agent for WhatsApp order-taking, a Collections Agent for payment follow-up, an Inventory Agent that flags dead stock and reorder points, and an AI report builder for direct questions about the business.

Question 14

Does Distiqo AI have an AI report builder?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can ask a question in plain language — like which retailers are overdue by more than 30 days — and get a real report back. It never writes raw SQL or invents numbers: it only pulls from the same registry of authoritative report endpoints your team already uses, and refuses rather than guess if a question can't be answered that way.

Question 15

Can I build custom reports in Distiqo AI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Beyond the standard report library (sales register, purchase register, stock aging, trial balance, and more), a custom report builder lets you assemble and save your own views across the same underlying data.

Question 16

Can AI help distributors reduce outstanding payments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Collections Agent identifies overdue accounts, prioritizes which retailers to follow up with first, and automates the reminder cycle, so outstanding payments are chased consistently instead of depending on someone remembering to do it.

Question 17

How does AI identify dead stock?

Accepted Answer

The Inventory Agent watches movement patterns across SKUs and locations and flags stock that has stopped selling, so it can be cleared or repriced before it becomes a write-off.

Question 18

What is the difference between Distiqo AI and Bizom?

Accepted Answer

Bizom is a sales-force automation and retail-execution platform that a team operates to manage field sales. Distiqo AI is a full distribution management platform — sales, inventory, GST, finance, and field force — where AI agents do the order-to-collection work themselves rather than digitising it for an operator to drive.

Question 19

Which industries does Distiqo AI serve?

Accepted Answer

Distiqo AI is built primarily for FMCG distributors, with a broader fit for general trade and consumer goods distribution — businesses that move fast-moving goods from brands to retailers such as kirana stores and supermarkets, where order volume is high and margins are thin.
