Inventory Software for FMCG Distributors

Updated for 2026

Quick Answer

For FMCG distributors managing multiple warehouses and high-volume stock movements, Ceazr offers unlimited users, unlimited order ingestion, and AI analytics starting at $79/month. Unlike Zoho (order caps, per-user pricing) and QuickBooks (limited locations), Ceazr is built for the speed and scale FMCG distribution demands.

How Ceazr Solves FMCG Distribution Challenges

High Order Volume

The Problem

Zoho caps at 3,000–7,500 orders/year. A mid-size distributor doing 30 orders/day hits 10,950/year — blowing past even Professional limits.

Ceazr Solution

Unlimited data ingestion on every plan. $79/month handles 10,000+ orders the same as 1,000.

Multi-Location Tracking

The Problem

Main warehouse, 2–3 regional depots, 5+ distribution vans. Zoho Standard only supports 2 warehouses. QuickBooks maxes at 3.

Ceazr Solution

Every location is a "node" — warehouse, depot, van, outlet. Growth supports 10 nodes. Scale supports 50.

Large Teams, Shared Logins

The Problem

15–30 staff need access. At $31/user (Odoo) or $50/user extra (QuickBooks), that's $465–$1,500/month in user fees alone.

Ceazr Solution

Unlimited collaborators on all plans. All 30 staff get individual logins with role-based permissions. $79–$299/month total.

Shrinkage & Accountability

The Problem

High-velocity movement + shared logins = discrepancies go unnoticed. Monthly counts catch problems weeks late.

Ceazr Solution

Per-user audit trail, real-time discrepancy alerts, AI anomaly detection, remote stock audit from anywhere.

Speed of Operations

The Problem

FMCG moves fast. Complex software slows warehouse staff down. 10 minutes per adjustment isn't viable.

Ceazr Solution

Barcode scanning on any phone, 3-tap stock adjustments, Ziva for instant stock queries.

FMCG-Specific Features

Category Management

Organize 1,000+ SKUs into categories and subcategories. Filter, search, and report by category.

Reorder Point Alerts

Per-SKU, per-location alerts. Get notified before fast-moving products run out.

Batch & Expiry Visibility

Track by batch. Monitor expiry dates for FIFO rotation — critical for food and beverage.

Transfer Tracking

Log every transfer between warehouse, van, and customer with quantity, user, timestamp, and reason.

AI Demand Insights

Ask: "Which SKUs had the highest movement this week?" or "Flag products below reorder point across all locations."
