How does a distributor bill a retailer?

From a dedicated desktop billing screen -- pricing is set by the company and updates automatically as each product is picked, so a distributor isn't re-entering prices by hand.

Can a distributor see what each retailer owes?

Yes -- a ledger per retailer, with outstanding and ageing (0-30, 31-60, 61-90, 90+ days), not just a single running total.

Does this work with Tally or Busy?

Through step-by-step import/export guidance built into the product -- a manual, Excel-based workflow, not an automatic sync. Worth knowing before planning around it as if it were live two-way sync.

Can one distributor work with more than one company?

Yes -- a dealer working with several companies on WorklikeGenie switches between them from a single login, with each company's data kept completely separate.

How are credit notes applied?

Against the specific invoice they relate to, not as a disconnected adjustment -- the same linking used on the company's own reconciliation side.

Distributor Billing Software

Distributor billing software is what a distributor uses to bill their own retailers, track what each one owes, and manage credit notes and payments against specific invoices -- from the distributor's own login, not a shared spreadsheet with the company. It's for distributors billing retailers directly rather than through the company's own SAP system.

This is secondary billing -- distributor to retailer -- sitting between primary billing (company to distributor) and tertiary billing (retailer to consumer).

The problem

A distributor billing retailers out of a notebook or a personal spreadsheet has no reliable record the company can see, no consistent pricing (prices drift from what the company actually set), and no systematic way to track which retailers are falling behind on payment.

How WorklikeGenie does it, step by step

Bill retailers from a dedicated screen, with company-set pricing applied automatically per SKU.
Track dues per retailer in a ledger, with outstanding aged into 0-30/31-60/61-90/90+ day bands.
Apply credit notes and payments bill by bill, not as a general adjustment.
See order status for everything placed, with a unique order number per order.
Export for Tally or Busy through built-in import/export guidance -- a manual, Excel-based workflow.
Switch between companies from one login if working with more than one on WorklikeGenie.

What you see in the portal

Example
A distributor's dashboard shows 42 retailers, ₹2,18,000 total outstanding (₹1,60,000 in the 0-30 band), three credit notes pending against specific invoices, and their own order history with each order's unique number.

Who it suits

Distributors currently billing retailers out of a personal spreadsheet or notebook, and companies who want distributor-side billing visible rather than relying on distributors to self-report it.

How this compares with billing in a personal spreadsheet

A personal spreadsheet has no connection to the company's own pricing or reconciliation, drifts out of date, and is invisible to anyone but the distributor. WorklikeGenie's billing screen uses company-set pricing automatically and feeds the same data the company sees on their own side -- one record, not two that can disagree.
