Store chains
Sales, conversion, shrinkage and store-to-store comparison.
Industries
Retail & distribution
Stores, distributors and online channels each report sales and stock differently. Azico gives retail and distribution businesses a single, current view of what’s selling, where stock sits, and which customers are drifting away.
Systems we connect
- Any ERP: SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally
- POS & billing
- E-commerce & marketplaces
- DMS & salesforce apps
- Loyalty & CRM
Using a different ERP or a third-party or in-house platform? We connect to it through its standard connectors, APIs, database access or scheduled file exports.
Who we work with
Built for retail & distribution teams
We work with retail chains, FMCG and consumer-durables distributors, wholesalers and brands selling across stores and online.
Sponsors are usually the founder, head of sales or supply-chain lead who needs one version of sales and stock.
How Azico can help
From scattered records to decisions
- Consolidating POS, ERP and marketplace data so sales, margin and stock are visible by store, SKU and day.
- Building replenishment and scheme-performance views for category and sales teams.
- Forecasting demand by store and SKU, and flagging customers and outlets whose buying is slowing.
Our promise to every client
“We reconcile every sales figure to your billing system before it reaches a dashboard.”

An illustration
How a first project could look
This shows how we would structure the work — it is not a project we have delivered. The figures are targets we would agree with you at the start and measure against at the end.
How it runs now
- —Store sales compiled from WhatsApp messages each night.
- —Stock positions differ between ERP and stores.
- —Marketplace fees reconciled by hand.
- —Slow-moving stock found at year-end.
How it runs after
- +Sales by store and SKU every morning.
- +One reconciled stock figure per item, daily.
- +Marketplace settlements matched automatically.
- +Ageing stock flagged every week.
Sales visibility: next week → next morning
