Industry-specific challenges & expected value

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

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

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

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

Customer classification & management

Challenge
A wide outlet network of many types (retail, wholesale, schools, restaurants, hospitals, pharmacies…) with non-standardised records.
How Viettel DMS solves it
Standardise outlet records, verify them and remove duplicates; group outlets by size and potential to apply the right price lists, promotions, display programmes and loyalty schemes.

Value & expected KPIs

  • Wider customer coverage in the market
  • Complete management of customer information
  • Sales policies reach the right targets

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