FMCG Distribution Challenges at CDPS

As the business grew, CDPS faced a set of operational challenges common across modern FMCG distribution.

1. Complex Coordination of Sales Activities

Retail and wholesale sales teams had to carry out routine field visits involving a high level of detail. Without an integrated system, coordination and record-keeping were prone to delays and human error.

2. Monitoring Field Team Attendance and Productivity

The company needed accurate attendance and activity monitoring to ensure productivity and keep labor costs efficient.

3. Slow Approval Processes

Requests for additional products, stock approvals, and other operational needs often required time-consuming, cross-departmental processes.

4. Inventory and Sales Control

CDPS had to make sure that inventory settlement, cash deposits, and product distribution were transparent and fully traceable.

5. Fleet and Distribution Asset Management

Managing distribution vehicles and promotional materials called for more systematic control to support field operations effectively.
