Indirect Channel Inventory Visibility

Close the Inventory Visibility Gap Across Your Dealer Network

Corporate ERP systems usually track what was shipped to a distributor or dealer. They may not show what happened after delivery. MTPOS connects corporate shipment data with dealer-reported sales, returns, transfers, losses and corrections to establish the visible known stock position across the network.

Network-Wide Visibility

Review dealer inventory by business unit, region, channel, distributor, dealer company, location, product and stock type.

Better Stock Allocation

Control the distribution of constrained products and prevent one channel or dealer from consuming an excessive share of available inventory.

Dealer Accountability

Identify missing reports, delivery discrepancies, unusual losses, repeated corrections and reconciliation variances.

Enterprise Data Access

Provide current dealer stock, recommendations, indicators and allocation information to authorized corporate systems.

Standalone Enterprise Product

Use MTPOS With Existing Dealer and Corporate Systems

The distributor inventory platform does not require deployment of the MTPOS retail point of sale interface.

Organizations can use product-provided access channels, integrate existing dealer applications and inventory systems, or combine direct user access with automated enterprise interfaces.

This allows large dealers with established systems and smaller dealers with limited technical infrastructure to participate in the same inventory control model.

Direct Product Access

Authorized corporate and dealer users can review inventory, deliveries, reporting status and actions within their permitted scope.

Existing Dealer Systems

Enterprise dealers can provide stock movements or inventory snapshots from their own ERP, POS or warehouse systems.

File-Based Reporting

Dealers can exchange scheduled files or submit approved inventory files when direct system integration is not available.

Integration-First Deployment

APIs and enterprise integration channels allow customer-owned applications to use the central inventory services.

Flexible Inventory Model

Manage Serialized, Non-Serialized and Measured Inventory

Use one inventory platform for telecom devices, SIM-related assets, electronics, accessories, packaged goods, bulk materials and other products distributed through indirect sales channels.

Inventory tracking is configured according to the product and business process, without requiring a separate platform for each stock type.

Item-Level Tracking

Serialized Inventory

Track individually identified products by serial number, IMEI, ICCID or another enterprise product identifier.

Quantity Tracking

Non-Serialized Inventory

Maintain aggregate quantities by product, dealer, location and organizational level.

Unit-of-Measure Tracking

Measured Inventory

Record decimal quantities by weight, volume, length or another configured unit of measure.

Inventory Movement Management

Build a Traceable Dealer Inventory Position

Maintain the current position and the transaction history that explains how dealer stock changed over time.

Delivery Orders and Receipt

Present corporate delivery information, record dealer receipt and retain shortages, overages, damage and other delivery discrepancies.

Sell-Through and Stock Outtake

Record inventory sold, issued or otherwise removed from available dealer stock by quantity or serialized identifier.

Loss, Damage and Theft

Separate non-sales stock reductions from commercial sell-through to improve reporting and exception analysis.

Customer and Corporate Returns

Track inventory returned to a dealer and stock returned from the dealer network to the corporate supply chain.

Dealer Stock Transfers

Control transfers between permitted dealer locations or companies, including destination confirmation where required.

Corrections and Reconciliation

Correct submitted information without removing the original history and compare calculated inventory with dealer-confirmed stock.

Visible Known Stock

Understand Inventory Freshness, Completeness and Confidence

A dealer inventory balance is only as reliable as the information received from corporate and dealer systems.

MTPOS distinguishes confirmed movements from missing, late, incomplete or rejected updates. Corporate users can evaluate both the reported stock position and the quality and freshness of the supporting data.

Effective transaction periods allow delayed dealer updates to be included in the appropriate inventory history while preserving reporting-compliance indicators.

Inventory Position Inputs

Corporate Shipments

Orders, shipments and stock expected to reach the dealer network.

Dealer Receipt

Accepted quantities and recorded delivery discrepancies.

Dealer Movements

Sales, returns, losses, transfers and corrections.

Optional Business Signals

Product activation or other authorized corroborating information.

Enterprise Organization Model

Manage Inventory Across Complex Distribution Hierarchies

Apply inventory visibility, permissions, allocation and reporting at the organizational levels that match your business.

Corporate

Business Unit

Region or Channel

Dealer Company

Dealer Location

Consolidated or Location-Level Inventory

A dealer operating multiple shops can be managed as one consolidated inventory entity or through separate location-level inventories, according to the applicable operating policy.

Scope-Based Access Control

Restrict users and enterprise interfaces by organization, dealer, location, region, product, channel and authorized business function.

Stock Allocation Management

Control the Distribution of Constrained and High-Demand Products

Define stock allocation by product at corporate, business-unit, channel and dealer levels.

The solution tracks allocated, committed, consumed and remaining quantities. A lower-level recommendation cannot exceed the available allocation of its parent organization.

Corporate teams can identify unused allocation, potential over-consumption, stock concentration and products requiring redistribution.

Configurable Allocation Controls

  • Product and SKU allocation
  • Reserved and maximum permitted quantities
  • Dealer minimum, maximum and planned stock levels
  • Allocation utilization and remaining capacity
  • Corporate adjustment and override history
  • Dealer restriction and fulfillment recommendations
Inventory Replenishment Recommendations

Make Dealer Stock Recommendations Using Current Inventory and Demand

Recommend appropriate replenishment quantities instead of relying only on the quantity requested by a dealer.

Current Stock

Reduce recommendations when sufficient inventory is already available.

Sell-Through Trends

Consider recent movement, historical demand and seasonal performance.

In-Transit Inventory

Account for stock already ordered, shipped or expected by the dealer.

Allocation and Risk

Apply remaining allocation, reporting compliance, restrictions and risk indicators.

Explainable Recommendations

Corporate users and authorized systems can receive the recommended quantity together with the principal reasons, such as sufficient dealer stock, in-transit inventory, exhausted allocation, reporting issues or an active restriction.

Dealer Indicators and Inventory Risk

Identify Reporting Gaps, Inventory Variances and Unusual Dealer Activity

Monitor operational and inventory conditions that may require corporate review.

Indicators remain explainable. Authorized users can review the supporting transactions and measures rather than relying on an unexplained score or automatic fraud determination.

Reporting Compliance

Late, missing, rejected or incomplete dealer inventory updates.

Inventory Integrity

Negative balances, reconciliation differences and unexplained movements.

Loss and Correction Patterns

Unusual losses, material adjustments and repeated corrections.

Activation Consistency

Differences between reported outtake and optional activation information.

Allocation Behavior

Requests or recommendations that repeatedly exceed applicable limits.

Inventory Concentration

Excessive quantities concentrated within selected dealers or channels.

Give corporate and dealer teams the inventory views, reports and exception information relevant to their authorized responsibilities.
