FAQ

या शब्दकोशाबद्दल

डिस्ट्रिब्यूशन मॅनेजमेंट शब्दकोश म्हणजे काय?

डिस्ट्रिब्यूशन मॅनेजमेंट शब्दकोश हा सेल्स आणि डिस्ट्रिब्यूशन ऑपरेशन्समध्ये वापरल्या जाणाऱ्या शब्दावलीचा संदर्भ शब्दकोश आहे — ऑर्डर मॅनेजमेंट, ट्रेड स्कीम्स, लॉजिस्टिक्स, GST कम्प्लायन्स आणि भारतीय FMCG किंवा डेअरी वितरण नेटवर्कमधील संघटनात्मक भूमिकांचा समावेश करतो. नवीन टीम सदस्य, वितरक आणि भागीदारांना एकाच भाषेत बोलण्यास मदत होते.

बीट प्लॅन, PJP आणि प्रोडक्टिव्ह कॉल सारखे शब्द महत्त्वाचे का आहेत?

हे तीन मेट्रिक्स भारतातील फील्ड-फोर्स प्रोडक्टिव्हिटीचा पाया आहेत. बीट प्लॅन सेल्सपीपल कुठे जातात ते ठरवतो, PJP तो शेड्यूल कायमचा बनवतो आणि प्रोडक्टिव्ह कॉल किती व्हिजिट्स प्रत्यक्षात ऑर्डर्समध्ये बदलतात ते मोजतो. एकत्र मिळून ते तुम्हाला सांगतात तुमची सेल्स टीम योग्य ठिकाणी योग्य गोष्टी करत आहे की नाही.

भारतीय GST वितरणावर कसा परिणाम करतो?

GST HSN कोड्स, GSTIN, IRN सह e-इन्व्हॉइसिंग, आंतरराज्य वाहतुकीसाठी e-way बिल्स आणि TCS थ्रेशोल्ड्स आणतो. कम्प्लायंट वितरण वर्कफ्लोमधील प्रत्येक इन्व्हॉइस, क्रेडिट नोट आणि डिस्पॅचला योग्य GST ट्रीटमेंट असणे आवश्यक आहे, म्हणूनच आधुनिक वितरण प्लॅटफॉर्म हे नियम नंतर जोडण्याऐवजी नेटिव्हली बिल्ट-इन ठेवतात.

प्रायमरी सेल्स आणि सेकंडरी सेल्समध्ये काय फरक आहे?

प्रायमरी सेल्स म्हणजे ब्रँडपासून वितरकापर्यंतचे विक्री — जे ब्रँड रेव्हेन्यू म्हणून बुक करतो. सेकंडरी सेल्स म्हणजे वितरकापासून रिटेलरपर्यंतचे विक्री — ग्राहक मागणीचा खरा संकेत. निरोगी वितरण चॅनेल प्रायमरी आणि सेकंडरी साधारणपणे संतुलित ठेवतो; वाढती तफावत म्हणजे स्टॉक जमा होत आहे आणि रिटर्न्स येणार आहेत.

हा शब्दकोश सर्व उद्योग कव्हर करतो की फक्त डेअरी?

SpireStock डेअरी, FMCG, बेव्हरेजेस, बेकरी, ताजा भाजीपाला-फळे आणि कन्झ्युमर गुड्सची सेवा करतो, आणि हा शब्दकोश या सर्वांचे प्रतिबिंब करतो. बहुतेक शब्द सर्व कॅटेगऱ्यांमध्ये सार्वत्रिक आहेत; काही नाशवंत किंवा कोल्ड चेनसाठी विशिष्ट आहेत. प्रत्येक शब्द एंट्री ती कोणत्या उद्योगांना लागू होते ते सूचित करते.
