Distribution Networks

Depots that cover for each other before a dealer waits.

For distributors, a stockout at one depot means a delayed dealer and a lost order - while the next depot holds weeks of cover. Mahadangal coordinates stock across warehouses and distribution points as one network.

What goes wrong today

Where depots lose money when they run in isolation.

Dealers wait while stock sits elsewhere

Orders are short-shipped from one depot while another in the same state holds more than it can move.

Replenishment by habit, not demand

Depots reorder on fixed cycles from the mother warehouse, regardless of what their own territories are pulling.

Freight and capital stretched thin

Emergency shipments cost more, and slow stock ties up working capital across the network.

With Mahadangal

Depot-level balance, managed as one network.

The same rebalancing intelligence, tuned to how depots actually trade.

01

Depot-to-depot rebalancing

Surplus at one depot is routed to another's shortfall, weighing freight cost against the value of the order.

02

Territory-level demand forecasts

Each depot's forecast reflects its own dealers and routes, not a national average.

03

Order promising across the network

When a depot cannot fulfil in full, the nearest depot with stock is identified at order entry.

04

Consolidated books, depot-level margins

Freight, transfers and sales post by depot, so every location's true margin is visible.

A worked example

A month-end push across 12 depots

How a single rebalancing decision plays out from forecast to shelf.

Illustrative scenario.

  1. 01

    Month-end dealer orders spike, and the Nagpur depot forecast shows a shortfall on two fast-moving SKUs.

  2. 02

    Aurangabad holds five weeks of cover on the same SKUs against a slower territory.

  3. 03

    Mahadangal suggests a depot-to-depot transfer with the quantity sized to Nagpur's open and forecast orders.

  4. 04

    The transfer is dispatched on the next scheduled truck, avoiding a separate emergency shipment.

  5. 05

    Dealer orders are fulfilled in full, and Aurangabad returns to a healthy level of cover.
