How the channel works
FMCG distribution typically runs from the manufacturer through super-stockists and distributors to a large retailer base, with high transaction volume and a constant calendar of secondary, slab and free-of-cost schemes. Claims and deductions flow back through the channel in large numbers, and each settlement needs a GST-compliant credit note. Reconciling all of that, at FMCG scale and by hand, is where time and money leak.
Where it leaks for FMCG distributors and manufacturers
- A busy scheme calendar. Overlapping secondary, slab and FOC schemes have to be accrued accurately and settled on time, every cycle.
- Claims and deductions at scale. A large distributor base means a high volume of claims and deductions to reconcile against the right agreement.
- Secondary-scheme settlement. Rewarding sell-through, not just sell-in, means tying schemes to secondary sales and settling them cleanly.
How RebateLedger helps
- Schemes accrue themselves. Volume, stepped, tiered, growth and target schemes accrue automatically against your agreements — no month-end spreadsheet marathon, and you always know what you owe.
- Claims reconcile against the agreement. Every distributor or dealer claim is matched to the agreement it falls under, so over-claims and duplicates surface on their own and you work only the variances.
- GST-compliant settlement. Settle with Section 34 / Rule 53(1A) credit notes, GSTIN and HSN validation, place-of-supply tax splits and ITC-reversal tracking — built for Indian tax, not bolted on.
- A tamper-evident audit trail. Every accrual, claim decision, reversal and settlement is recorded in a hash-chained log, so you can answer “who changed what, and when” at any time.
