A Distribution Ecosystem Running on Fragmented Systems
Before the engagement, GPI's commercial operations ran on disconnected systems and manual coordination. Sales reporting was consolidated by hand across regional teams on a delayed cycle, leaving leadership without a real-time picture of SKU movement across the network. Field execution for thousands of representatives was tracked through phone calls and paper-based reporting. Distributor coordination relied on emails and periodic visits, and inventory planning ran on spreadsheets across regional teams. Modern trade operations were tracked separately, with limited integration into central commercial reporting, while forecasting depended on historical reports rather than live operational data.
At the scale of 8,000+ distributors and one million retail touchpoints, these gaps compounded daily - missed inventory signals, slower retailer servicing, and planning decisions built on outdated information. GPI needed unified distribution management system software that could bring sales, field operations, distributor management, modern trade and forecasting onto a single real-time platform, and a technology partner capable of building and scaling it nationwide.
A Connected FMCG Sales & Distribution Ecosystem
Secondary sales in a large FMCG operation cover a significant amount of operational ground. Distributor coordination, retailer-level order capture, SKU movement tracking, scheme and promotion management, and real-time sales reporting all need to work together for the commercial team to have an accurate picture of what is happening across the network on any given day.
Triazine Software built the secondary sales management platform and distributor management system for Godfrey Phillips India, handling real-time capture and monitoring of secondary sales transactions across distributors, retailers, SKUs and regions. The platform gives sales leadership and regional teams visibility into distributor performance, retailer activity and SKU movement as it happens, with data flowing directly into enterprise reporting and analytics environments.
Capability Highlights
Outcomes
Managing 9,000 field sales representatives across a nationwide FMCG network requires more than a mobile app. Beat planning, outlet visit tracking, order capture, retailer engagement, attendance management, route optimization and real-time reporting all need to work seamlessly on mobile, in areas with variable connectivity, and with data syncing accurately to central systems.
The field force automation platform built for GPI puts all of this in the hands of every sales representative, covering digital ordering, retailer engagement workflows, beat and route management, outlet-level activity tracking, attendance and leave management, and real-time performance reporting. Field managers get live visibility into team activity and outlet coverage. Sales leadership gets accurate field data feeding directly into planning and analytics systems.
Capability Highlights
Outcomes
Modern trade operations in a large FMCG company involve a different set of workflows to general trade. Key account management, planogram compliance, promotion execution, scheme tracking, retailer coordination and organised retail operations all require dedicated systems and reporting separate from the wider secondary sales environment.
The modern trade management portal built for GPI covers the full scope of organised retail operations, from key account workflows and promotion management through to scheme tracking, retailer coordination and operational reporting across modern trade channels. The portal connects modern trade operations with the central commercial platform, giving leadership a unified view across all trade channels.
Capability Highlights
Outcomes
Getting retailers to order digitally rather than through phone calls and paper forms takes more than a mobile app. The ordering experience needs to be simple, the product catalogue needs to be accurate, and the orders need to flow directly into distributor and fulfilment systems without manual re-entry.
Triazine Software built the retailer ordering platform for GPI, covering digital order placement, product catalogue management, scheme and promotion visibility, order tracking and fulfilment coordination. E-commerce integration brings online and offline sales operations into a unified view, with inventory visibility and fulfilment tracking running across all channels.
Capability Highlights
Outcomes
Sales planning in a large FMCG operation relies on the quality of the data feeding into it. Historical sales performance, inventory movement, seasonal demand trends, distributor activity and regional variation all need to be available in a form that supports proactive planning decisions rather than reactive ones.
The sales forecasting and analytics platform built for GPI - part of Triazine's AI solutions for enterprise - brings together historical sales data, inventory movement, seasonal patterns, and operational intelligence into a central planning environment. Sales leaders and regional managers can model demand scenarios, identify inventory risks ahead of time, and track performance against targets with accurate, up-to-date data from across the commercial platform. It is a working example of AI-powered digital transformation applied to enterprise sales planning.
Capability Highlights
Outcomes
Solutions were built using Python, Django, Angular and mobile application frameworks across MySQL and AWS infrastructure, designed for high-volume nationwide FMCG distribution technology operations. All platforms undergo regular VAPT assessments, and controlled deployment processes aligned with enterprise security and operational requirements.
