Distribution & Wholesale
Predictiv Distribution delivers end-to-end supply chain visibility from purchase order to final delivery. Built for wholesalers, distributors, and logistics operators who need to move product efficiently while maintaining tight inventory control.
Our distribution solution handles the complexity of multi-warehouse operations, route optimisation, and real-time stock management that businesses in Africa demand—including offline capability when connectivity is unreliable.
Challenges We Solve
Real problems faced by distribution & wholesale businesses—and how Predictiv addresses them.

Order Fulfilment Speed
Manual picking, packing, and shipping processes slow down delivery.
Mobile-first warehouse operations with barcode scanning, wave picking, and automated packing lists.
Delivery Logistics
Route planning is manual, fuel costs are high, delivery windows are missed.
Route optimisation, driver mobile apps, and real-time delivery tracking for customers.
Cash Flow Management
Long receivables cycles and poor visibility into payment status.
Integrated credit management, automated payment reminders, and real-time AR dashboards.
