FMCG & Consumer Goods

Move fast-moving goods even faster.

Hundreds of SKUs, thousands of orders, tight margins, and retailers who reject anything close to expiry. Acacia keeps stock, promotions, and collections moving at the speed your shelves turn.

The chaos you know

In FMCG, small leaks become big losses at volume. These are the ones that hurt most.

SKU sprawl you cannot see through

Hundreds of pack sizes, flavours, and variants, and no single view of what is actually moving versus what is quietly dying on the shelf.

Promotions that leak margin

Trade schemes are agreed in meetings and applied by hand. Nobody can say which promotion paid off and which just gave away margin.

Rejections at the retailer's gate

Modern-trade chains enforce shelf-life minimums. Send stock too close to expiry and the whole delivery comes back — fuel, time, and product wasted.

Sub-distributors you fly blind on

Stock leaves your warehouse and vanishes from view. You only learn a sub-distributor is overstocked or out when the reorder pattern breaks.

How it runs

How Acacia runs FMCG, day to day

Five connected workflows keep high-volume goods moving from demand signal to collected cash.

01

Demand planning

Sales velocity per SKU, per region, and per channel feeds replenishment so fast-movers stay in stock and slow-movers stop tying up cash and shelf space.

01

Step 01

Demand planning

  • Velocity per SKU
  • Replenishment signals
  • Slow-mover alerts
02

Order & trade schemes

Orders come in from reps, WhatsApp, and key accounts. Customer price lists, volume breaks, and active promotions apply automatically — and every scheme is tracked for what it actually returned.

02

Step 02

Order & trade schemes

  • Auto-applied price lists
  • Volume & promo schemes
  • Scheme ROI tracking
03

Shelf-life compliant fulfilment

FEFO allocation enforces each retailer's minimum remaining-life rule, so modern-trade deliveries clear the receiving bay the first time, every time.

03

Step 03

Shelf-life compliant fulfilment

  • FEFO allocation
  • Retailer shelf-life rules
  • No gate rejections
04

Van sales & distribution

Load vans, run beats, sell in the field online or offline, and give sub-distributors a portal so their stock and sell-through finally show up in your numbers.

04

Step 04

Van sales & distribution

  • Route & van sales
  • Offline field capture
  • Sub-distributor visibility
05

Invoice & collect

KRA eTIMS invoices are raised on dispatch and delivered by WhatsApp. AR aging is live, M-Pesa reminders go out automatically, and overdue accounts are held before they reorder.

Step 05

Invoice & collect

  • eTIMS on dispatch
  • M-Pesa reminders
  • Automatic credit holds

Built for high-volume consumer goods

High-volume SKU management

Variants, pack sizes, and barcodes handled at scale, with movement analytics that separate the winners from the dead weight.

Trade promotions & schemes

Configure tiered, volume, and product-led schemes, apply them automatically, and measure what each one returned.

Retailer compliance

Per-retailer shelf-life minimums enforced at allocation so modern-trade deliveries are not rejected on arrival.

Van sales & field execution

Beats, routes, on-board stock, and offline order capture for reps working far from a stable connection.

Distributor & sub-distributor visibility

Portals and roll-up reporting that pull secondary sales and downstream stock into one picture.

Demand planning

Replenishment driven by real sell-through, so fast-movers stay available and cash stops sitting in slow stock.
