Process design and Zoho for distributors and traders

Quick answer

For distributors and traders, NeX designs order-to-cash, multi-warehouse inventory, dealer schemes and credit control, then implements them on Zoho Books with Inventory or on Zoho ERP. The goal is simple: stock in every warehouse matches the books, credit is given by rule, and collections are chased on time.

Processes we focus on

  • Order-to-cash: order capture, credit checks against limits, dispatch, invoicing, e-invoicing and e-way bills where applicable, and collections.
  • Inventory: receipts, inter-warehouse transfers, batches and expiry, cycle counts, returns.
  • Schemes: documenting each scheme, approving it, and accounting for it correctly.
  • Procure-to-pay: reorder levels, purchase approvals, three-way match.
  • Close: stock and receivables reconciliation within a few days of month-end.

Typical Zoho setup

Zoho Books and Zoho Inventory for most traders; Zoho ERP for mid-market distributors with field sales and deeper warehouse needs; Zoho Analytics for sales, margin and ageing dashboards.

Frequently asked questions

How do we stop stock differences between warehouses?
Record every transfer as a transfer order when goods leave and when they arrive, count fast-moving items on a cycle, and approve adjustments above a limit. We design the routine and configure it.
Can Zoho handle distributor schemes and discounts?
Price lists and discounts cover many schemes. Complex schemes, such as quantity slabs across a period, may need a Zoho Creator app or careful process design. We assess this in the fit-gap.
