Strategy & market
Production and market demand are hard to forecast; changing consumer behaviour and competition from e-commerce are pushing businesses towards omnichannel selling.
DMS solutions for agriculture
Multi-tier dealer networks reaching remote areas, seasonal rolling credit and goods sold in bulk by weight.
The distribution and retail landscape
Retail is shifting from simply selling products to business models built on experience and data.
Common bottlenecks
Operations & processes
Production, distribution, sales and logistics are poorly connected and depend heavily on people; operating costs are high, and inventory and deliveries are hard to control.
Data & technology
Data is fragmented, lacks real-time visibility and has no central analytics platform, making decisions and supply chain optimisation difficult.
People & digital culture
Technology skills and mindset are still limited; working habits are hard to change and digital models are slow to be adopted.
5 shifting trends
Digital supply chain transformation
Digital Twin, IoT and AI strengthen supply chain capability and reduce operating costs.
Omnichannel selling
Combining online and offline for a seamless experience for customers and distribution partners.
Data & artificial intelligence
Machine learning and computer vision optimise demand forecasting, inventory management and personalised marketing.
Intelligent automation
Collaborative robots and AMRs cut labour costs and speed up order processing.
Integrated financial services
Supply chain finance (B2B BNPL) helps distributors and dealers optimise cash flow.

Industry-specific challenges & expected value
Processes that Viettel DMS has standardised and applies in practice for this industry.
Receivables & collections
- Challenge
- Credit limits and payment terms per outlet are hard to control; cash reconciliation is slow; no ageing reports to chase collections.
- How Viettel DMS solves it
- Set credit limits and payment terms per outlet; new orders are blocked automatically when debts are overdue or over the limit; issue receipts and take QR payments in the app; automatic debt clearing.
Value & expected KPIs
- 70% lower bad-debt risk
- Same-day reconciliation of collections
- Shorter days sales outstanding (DSO)
Route planning & visit monitoring
- Challenge
- Overlapping territories, reps straying from their routes and missing outlets; managers struggle to verify actual visits.
- How Viettel DMS solves it
- Plan routes by weekday (Mon–Sat) or frequency (F1–F8), GPS-locate outlets, match check-in/check-out locations and track routes in real time.
Value & expected KPIs
- Over 95% of visits on route
- 15–20% less travel time
- Transparent field activity and higher actual coverage
Distributor inventory
- Challenge
- The brand has no real-time view of distributor stock; goods near expiry, expired or out of stock on key SKUs; books don't match reality.
- How Viettel DMS solves it
- Manage receipts, issues and stock by batch, expiry date and warehouse location; stock is deducted automatically on delivery; Min–Max levels with alerts; stock counts by scanning codes in the app.
Value & expected KPIs
- 100% transparent sell-out inventory data
- 80% lower risk of writing off near-expiry goods
- Fewer stock-outs on key SKUs
ERP integration
- Challenge
- Sell-in, sell-out and inventory data sit apart from the ERP; manual two-way entry is laborious and error-prone; financial reports and production plans are delayed.
- How Viettel DMS solves it
- Open API connections with SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Bravo…: master data syncs from ERP to DMS and transactions from DMS back to ERP, in real time or on a schedule, with logs and error alerts.
Value & expected KPIs
- 100% automated data flows
- Real-time data for decision-making
- Complete, consistent data
Expected KPIs are for reference only; actual results depend on each business's scale and operating model.
