Questions
Does it capture secondary sales?+
Yes — secondary sales from dealers are captured and reconciled against primary dispatch.
Which edition includes Distribution?+
Distribution is in the Cloud Suite only. It is not part of the Desktop Suite, and we mark that plainly on every card and page rather than leaving it to be discovered after purchase. If Distribution is why you are here, the Cloud Suite is the edition to choose.
What does Distribution actually include?+
Dealer hierarchy, beats, van sales and secondary sales. In practice that means the hierarchy, beats and routes and schemes and claims — each of which is a working screen rather than a line on a roadmap. The full breakdown, with what every one of them does, is on this page above.
Does Distribution work with the rest of LekhaPro, or is it separate?+
It is not a separate product and there is nothing to integrate. Distribution reads and writes the same database as the ledger, stock and customer master, so a figure it shows is the figure the books hold — not a copy synced overnight, and not a number you have to reconcile against another screen before you trust it.
What else comes with Distribution?+
Distribution sits in the Industry group of the catalogue, alongside Pharma, Real Estate, Retail Chains, Logistics & Fleet and Construction and 7 more. They are separate applications with their own screens, not modules of each other — but they share one database, so what you enter in any of them is immediately real to the rest.
Does Distribution work offline?+
Distribution is a Cloud Suite application, so it needs a connection — it runs in the browser against your tenant rather than a local file. If working with the internet off is a hard requirement for your business, the Desktop edition is the one to look at, and it does not include Distribution.
Is there AI in Distribution?+
Not as a feature of this application, and we would rather say so than claim it. The AI surfaces in LekhaPro — Copilot, the CFO, the deterministic insight engines — read the data Distribution produces, so its records inform them, but Distribution itself is deliberately a plain, fast, keyboard-first application.
Which businesses is Distribution for?+
It is built for FMCG Distribution and Wholesale & Distribution in particular, and it is not exclusive to them — Distribution is part of the horizontal suite, so any business on LekhaPro can switch it on. Those trades are named because their industry pages describe how Distribution is used in that specific line of work.
Can I control who sees Distribution?+
Yes. Access is by role rather than all-or-nothing, so a billing clerk can reach Distribution without reaching the books behind it, and an approver can see what needs a decision without editing anything else. On the Cloud edition every change also carries who made it and when.
Does Distribution cost extra?+
Distribution is part of the suite, not a paid add-on billed per use. What your plan tier decides is reach and depth — how many devices connect, multi-branch and multi-warehouse reporting, and whether the conversational AI copilots are switched on. The full accounting core is in every plan, including the entry tier.
