Straight answers, from the team that builds Japaate.
All questions
What is the Japaate DMS?
The Japaate DMS is a distributor management system. It runs a distributor's day-to-day business, including primary orders, goods receipts, live stock, billing, delivery loadouts, claims, credit limits and ledgers, in the same system the brand sees.
Will Japaate work with our existing Tally / ERP system?
Yes, for Tally. Your distributors can import sales registers from Tally or Vyapar, or upload Excel and PDF bills, and Japaate matches products and shops automatically, learning from every correction. Reports export to Excel.
How does Japaate handle distributor claims?
Return, sample and scheme claims are raised and reviewed in the Japaate DMS against the orders and invoices already in the system, instead of being rebuilt in spreadsheets.
Does Japaate support super-stockists?
Yes. Japaate supports a super-stockist to distributor hierarchy, so brands that sell through super-stockists can see stock and orders at both levels.
Can the DMS help plan deliveries?
Yes. The Japaate DMS builds delivery loadouts and predicts loads, and records delivery confirmation and collections against bills.
