Overview
Indian dairy distributors juggle dozens of concurrent schemes, slab discounts on Amul pouches, seasonal pushes on flavoured milk, loyalty bonuses for paneer retailers, and state-specific curd promotions. Without automation, scheme calculations happen in Excel or the distributor's head, causing payout errors that erode retailer trust and blow through budgets.
SpireStock's Scheme Engine lets you define any scheme type, flat discount, percentage slab, buy-one-get-one, quantity target, or value-based tier, and automatically applies it at the point of billing. Real-time dashboards show scheme burn rate, retailer-wise redemption, and SKU-level profitability so your trade marketing team can adjust mid-cycle instead of discovering overruns after the fact.
Industry Challenges
Dairy Distribution Challenges That Scheme & Incentive Engine Solves
Manual scheme calculations at billing
Delivery staff manually look up which scheme applies to each retailer, leading to missed discounts, double-dipping, and 15-20 minutes of extra time per route.
No visibility into scheme burn rate
Dairy brands discover they've overshot a seasonal ghee scheme budget only at month-end reconciliation, causing accrual mismatches and strained brand-distributor relations.
Retailer disputes on payouts
Kirana owners dispute slab achievements because the distributor has no auditable trail of qualifying invoices, creating collection friction on subsequent visits.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run brand-funded and distributor-funded schemes simultaneously?
Yes. SpireStock supports multi-source scheme funding. You can tag each scheme to a brand, distributor, or split-funded pool, and the system tracks burn separately for each funding source during reconciliation.
How does the system handle short-expiry dairy products in schemes?
You can configure scheme rules that factor in batch expiry. For example, a push scheme on curd nearing expiry can auto-activate when shelf life drops below 3 days, and deactivate once stock clears.
What happens when a retailer returns scheme-discounted stock?
The scheme engine reverses the benefit proportionally on credit notes. If a slab achievement drops below threshold due to the return, the system recalculates and adjusts the next payout cycle.
Can I set different schemes for different route types?
Absolutely. Schemes can be scoped by route, beat, geography, retailer tier, or channel type. A metro route can have different slab thresholds than a rural route for the same SKU.
