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.
