Sales Management Features for East African Businesses

From quotation to receipt — a complete, integrated sales workflow

Quotation & Proforma Management

Create professional, branded quotations for customers in seconds using product catalogue pricing with configurable discounts. BetaSuite tracks quotation status — sent, viewed, accepted or expired — and sends follow-up reminders automatically. When a customer accepts, the quotation converts to a confirmed sales order with one click, automatically reserving stock and triggering the fulfilment process without any duplicate data entry.

Sales Order Processing

Process sales orders from any source — direct from a customer, converted from a quotation, imported from the MarketGo field sales app or entered from an online enquiry. BetaSuite validates stock availability, customer credit limits and approved pricing before confirming the order. Confirmed orders trigger warehouse picking, delivery scheduling and KRA invoice generation — all in an integrated workflow that reduces order-to-delivery time significantly.

Sales Targets & Performance Tracking

Set monthly sales targets by rep, branch, product category or customer segment and track actual performance against targets in real time. Sales dashboards update as orders are confirmed — not just when invoices are raised — so reps and managers have live pipeline visibility throughout the month. Performance reports feed into commission calculations and quarterly performance reviews without requiring any manual data compilation.

Customer Account Management

Every customer has a complete account record showing their purchase history, outstanding invoices, credit balance, credit limit, payment terms, assigned sales rep and communication history. Accounts receivable aging shows exactly what is owed and for how long. Credit holds are applied automatically when customers exceed their limit, requiring sales manager approval before any new orders are processed for that account.

Price List & Discount Management

Maintain multiple price lists for different customer tiers — retail, wholesale, distributor and government contract pricing. Assign each customer to the correct price list and BetaSuite applies it automatically at every sales touchpoint. Manage promotional discounts with validity periods, quantity thresholds and customer eligibility rules — ensuring your sales team applies the right price every time without needing to check a spreadsheet.

Delivery & Fulfilment Management

Convert confirmed sales orders to delivery notes, assign vehicles and drivers, schedule delivery times and track fulfilment status in real time. Partial deliveries are tracked against the original order. Proof of delivery is captured digitally by the driver and attached to the order record. Customers receive automated SMS or WhatsApp notifications at each stage — dispatched, in transit and delivered — reducing inbound customer service calls dramatically.

Returns & Credit Note Management

Process customer returns through a structured workflow — return authorisation, goods inspection, stock update and credit note issuance — all documented in BetaSuite. Credit notes are applied against the customer's next invoice or refunded as agreed. KRA eTIMS credit notes are submitted automatically as required. Return analytics show which products have the highest return rates — a signal worth investigating for quality, description accuracy or expectation-setting issues.

Invoicing & Collections

Generate KRA-compliant tax invoices from sales orders or delivery notes with one click. Invoice payment terms, due dates and aging are tracked automatically. Automated WhatsApp and SMS payment reminders go to customers at configurable intervals before and after the due date. Collections are posted against specific invoices and the customer's aging clears immediately — reducing the reconciliation work that typically accompanies manual payment matching in busy accounts offices.

How BetaSuite Sales Management Works

From customer enquiry to receipt — a seamless, integrated sales flow

1

Quote & Confirm

Create a quotation from the customer's enquiry. Track its status and follow up automatically. When accepted, convert to a sales order in one click — stock is reserved, the fulfilment process starts and the customer receives a confirmation immediately.

2

Fulfil & Deliver

The warehouse picks from the confirmed order. A delivery note is raised and assigned to a driver. The customer is notified of dispatch via WhatsApp. Proof of delivery is captured digitally at the customer's premises.

3

Invoice & Collect

A KRA-compliant invoice is generated on delivery or at the agreed billing date. Payment reminders go automatically at configurable intervals. When payment is received via M-Pesa or bank, it is matched to the invoice automatically and the customer's account is updated.

4

Analyse & Improve

Sales analytics show performance by rep, customer, product and branch. Commission calculations run from actual sales data. Management reports identify the customers and products driving growth — and those that need attention before they become a problem.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. BetaSuite supports multiple price lists for different customer categories — you configure retail, wholesale and distributor prices for each product, and each customer is assigned to the appropriate tier. The correct price is applied automatically at every sales touchpoint including the POS, sales order module and field sales app. Minimum order quantities and trade discount structures for wholesale customers are also configurable per customer account.

Each customer account has a configurable credit limit and payment terms in BetaSuite. When a new order is raised, the system checks whether the proposed order value plus the customer's current outstanding balance exceeds their credit limit. If it does, the order is flagged for credit manager approval before processing. The accounts receivable aging report shows all overdue accounts, and automated payment reminders are sent at configurable intervals to reduce debtor days.

Yes. Each sales rep has their own BetaSuite dashboard showing their current month's orders, revenue against target, open quotations, pending deliveries and customer accounts requiring attention. Management dashboards show the same data consolidated across the whole team. Performance comparisons between reps help sales managers identify top performers and those needing support, enabling data-backed coaching conversations rather than ones based on impressions.

Invoices in BetaSuite are generated from sales orders or delivery notes and include all legally required fields — your company details with KRA PIN, customer details with their KRA PIN for B2B invoices, itemised line items with quantities and prices, VAT calculation, eTIMS serial number and QR code, and payment instructions including your Paybill number. Invoices can be printed, emailed as PDF or sent via WhatsApp directly from BetaSuite.

Yes. BetaSuite consolidates sales from multiple channels into a single system — retail POS, sales order module, the MarketGo field sales app, the RetailGo mobile POS and any external system that integrates via the BetaSuite API. All channels use the same product catalogue, pricing, customer accounts and stock — so there is no risk of overselling because each channel is drawing from a shared live inventory position.

Yes. BetaSuite calculates sales commissions automatically based on confirmed sales or collected invoices — whichever basis your commission policy uses. Commission rates are configurable by product category, customer type, sales rep and target achievement tier. At month end, the commission report shows each rep's earned commission, which is fed directly into the payroll run — so sales reps are paid accurately and on time without any manual calculation by the finance team.

Customer returns are processed through a returns authorisation workflow in BetaSuite. The return is approved, goods are received and inspected, and a credit note is raised against the original invoice. The credit note is submitted to KRA eTIMS automatically. The credit can be offset against the customer's next invoice or refunded via M-Pesa, cash or bank transfer. Return analytics show which products are returned most frequently — valuable quality and customer service intelligence.
