Industry-specific challenges & expected value

Processes that Viettel DMS has standardised and applies in practice for this industry.

Orders & delivery

Challenge
Orders are written in notebooks or on Zalo and re-keyed, causing wrong SKUs and quantities; processing is slow and order status can't be tracked.
How Viettel DMS solves it
Order in the app (even offline) with prices and promotions applied automatically; orders reach the distributor instantly for approval, picking and delivery assignment; delivery staff update status and collect payment in the app.

Value & expected KPIs

  • 60% faster order processing and delivery
  • 100% accurate order data
  • Higher successful delivery rate

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)

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

Product catalogue & price lists

Challenge
Complex price lists by region, channel and distributor are easily misapplied when closing orders; price changes reach staff slowly and inconsistently.
How Viettel DMS solves it
Set up standard price lists by region, channel or outlet tier with validity periods; prices apply automatically when an order is created and discontinued SKUs are locked.

Value & expected KPIs

  • 100% accurate prices on orders
  • Instant price policy updates across the system
  • Minimal receivables disputes caused by wrong prices

Expected KPIs are for reference only; actual results depend on each business's scale and operating model.
