Wholesale and distribution

Wholesale and distribution, under control.

Wholesalers live on volume, margins of a few percent and customers who buy on credit. poso gives pharmaceutical and agricultural distributors batch-level stock, customer price lists, orders, deliveries, invoices and credit control in one system.

Short answer

poso wholesale software helps pharmaceutical and agri-input distributors buy in bulk, hold warehouse stock by batch and expiry date, sell to pharmacies, clinics, agrovets and retailers with customer-specific prices, take orders, deliver, invoice on credit with limits and terms, and report margins by customer and product. Enterprise includes 10 locations and unlimited users, from $299 a month.

Traceability matters

When a manufacturer recalls a batch, a distributor must know which customers received it. poso records the batch on every delivery, so you can list affected customers and quantities in minutes. The same records help when a regulator asks to see where stock came from and where it went.
