SALES MANAGEMENT PROCESS BY DISTRIBUTOR
• The distributors have an area assigned to them which is done by the company itself and
they use area mapping system depending on the population and distance from the Gujarat
warehouse.
Distribution Headquarters
• Distributor gets the material from Amul on a credit period of 15 days. And he gives a
credit period of 10 days to the retailer. Amul
Credit and • Each distributor has a sales force of 7 to 8 people who are responsible for collecting
order from various retailers on phone or physically go and collect orders.
Warehouse
Sales
• The distributor has the DMS (Distributor Management System) facilitated by the
company which is installed in his computer. This system helps the company to keep a
track of the amount of products a particular distributor is selling over the year and this
helps in distribution of incentives and benefits to the distributors at the end of year. Distributor
Territories • Each territory has 10-15 APO (Amul Preferred Outlets) i.e. exclusive retailers for Amul

RECOMMENDATIONS
• There is a huge demand for Amul Products in Madhya Pradesh and it becomes very difficult to operate from a single point of sale
i.e. warehouse only in Indore. Amul could look to increase the number of Warehouses and Distributors so that it can have greater
1 ease of operation and at the same time increase its customer base.
• Goods incentives based on sales target are being currently being stopped by Amul which is de-motivating the Amul retailers. Needs
2 to offer a better Incentive than Amul Yatra which is currently offered.
• Investment from company’s side is decreasing down the chain. So the company must focus on various aspects of Promotion,
3 Advertisements, and Providing incentives to retailers.
• The current demand forecasting system needs to be better managed and needs to be redesigned as retailer and distributors are
4 always in a fear of Stock out.
• It is unaware of the competition it is facing from local dairies. They have similar product lines with no preservatives in their
5 products. They can become a major competitor in the future. Need to focus on them also.
• Use of IT systems should be made mandatory at both retailer and distributor level
6
RECOMMENDATIONS (contd.)
• Amul can also go for better deals with the supermarket chains and the unreached hypermarts which
will help them to capture a larger consumer base.
7
• Claims related to refund and return policies of the retailers and distributors needs to be looked at
because if the promises made by the company are not fulfilled it creates a lack of trust for them.
8
• The company can focus on their entire system to help them grow in Indore and
9 make an impact on ‘Make in India’ initiative
• Amul could also build a perception in the mind of consumer and project itself as a more health-
focussed brand as consumers are increasingly becoming health conscious and looking for sources of
