FMCG Van Sales for Kirana Shops: Load, Sell, Settle

The van is a warehouse. If load, sales, returns, and cash do not match by dusk, the shortage has already chosen a salesman.

Load the van like you mean it

Morning stock against the vehicle is the only way evening settlement works. If loading is a guess, every shortage is blamed on the shop, the salesman, or 'breakage'.

Kirana credit is the margin leak

Small shops in Karachi, Lahore, and Faisalabad take a little extra on credit every visit. Without a shop-wise running balance, that drip is invisible until the owner is gone. See the balance before more cartons leave the van.

Settle the man, not the month

Stock loaded, stock sold, returns, cash. Per salesman, same day. Monthly warehouse counts cannot reconstruct a Tuesday in Liaquatabad.

Pre-sell the thin routes

Dense kirana streets favour van sales. Spread-out towns favour orders taken first so the vehicle carries only what sold. Many distributors run both; the software has to close either day the same way.

FAQ

What is the difference between van sales and water delivery?
Van sales carries a basket of SKUs and often more credit shops. Water is usually fewer items plus empties. Both still need a route, a rider app, and a day-book that closes.
Can Mashqi run FMCG van sales?
Yes. Load stock to the vehicle, sell multiple items per shop, keep shop balances, and reconcile the day-book.
