TradeOn for FMCG & Food
Fast-moving consumer goods live on thin margins, fixed schemes and relentless reorder cycles. TON gives FMCG manufacturers, super stockists and distributors one place to take orders, enforce credit, ship, and raise GST-correct invoices, so nothing leaks between the depot and the retailer.
The operating problems in this sector
- Hundreds of small retailer orders a day, each needing credit checks and correct GST.
- Batch and expiry tracking for perishables, with FEFO discipline across depots.
- Scheme and slab pricing that changes by beat, territory and season.
- Reconciling GRN shortages and damaged-in-transit claims against invoices.
How TradeOn addresses them
- Order-to-invoice in one flow: Retailers place orders against your catalog; you acknowledge, accept (fully or partially), ship and auto-generate a GST-compliant invoice with HSN, CGST/SGST or IGST split, and amount-in-words.
- Credit control per relationship: Set credit limit, credit days and max unpaid invoices for each buyer. Orders that breach the limit are held automatically, so there is no more chasing overdue books after the fact.
- Batch & expiry visibility: Share batch/lot and quantity visibility with buyers where you require it, and lock it so it can't be turned off. Track stock lots with expiry across locations.
- GRN & shortage resolution: Buyers raise a GRN on delivery; discrepancies (short quantity, damage) are logged and resolved with notes and attachments against the exact order line.
- Books that reconcile: TON Books posts every sale to a real double-entry ledger with COGS, GST output and receivables, giving you P&L, GST returns and AR aging without a separate accountant scramble.

Frequently asked questions
Does TON handle batch and expiry for perishable goods?
Yes. Stock is tracked by lot with expiry dates, and suppliers can require batch/lot visibility on each buyer relationship so downstream partners always see what they're receiving.
Can I enforce credit limits on retailer orders?
Yes. Each trade relationship carries its own credit limit, credit days and unpaid-invoice cap, and orders that breach it are held automatically.
Is the invoicing GST-compliant?
Every invoice computes CGST/SGST vs IGST from the party states, carries HSN codes, and is available as a rupee-formatted PDF with amount-in-words.
