We see the same purchase order twice a month: “Turn on leads, catalogs, orders, promotions, and mobile.” Three weeks later, nobody uses half of it. The modules overlap. The operating rhythm does not. Manufacturers choke on catalog control; distributors choke on route booking. Start where the pain is.
Manufacturer-first 30 days
Win when the product master and dealer catalogs are trustworthy before you expand mobile booking. Price lists and dealer hierarchy must match how you actually sell — not how the brochure describes it.
- Clean product master + controlled digital catalogs
- Dealer hierarchy and price lists that match reality
- Order intake from field and partners into one queue
- Schemes with written eligibility — not tribal knowledge
Distributor-first 30 days
Win when mobile booking works on the densest routes first. Deep catalogs and fancy promotions come after booking sticks. Otherwise the team reverts to WhatsApp the first busy week.
- Mobile booking on the densest routes
- Customer history and credit cues at the counter
- Fast repeat for high-velocity SKUs
- Then deepen catalogs and promotions once booking sticks
How to pick your north-star metric
- Manufacturer: % of orders using current catalog prices (not chat rates)
- Distributor: same-day booking rate on pilot routes
- Both: failed syncs or missing GSTIN on active accounts (quality floor)
Depth on one painful workflow beats a big-bang go-live every time.
Implementation pattern across rollouts
Governance that prevents thrash
- Name one business owner and one IT/ops owner
- Freeze scope for 30 days — parking lot for “nice to have”
- Weekly 30-minute review on the north-star metric only
- Expand modules only after two green weeks
