Gain Market Visibility and Channel Control with Zylem’s Secondary Sales Tracking Software Can you truly call it a sale if you don’t know where it went or how fast it moved? For businesses with indirect distribution models—such as FMCG, pharma, or electronics— secondary sales tracking isn’t just helpful; it’s essential. Yet, for many companies, what happens beyond the primary distributor remains a mystery. The lack of visibility into what distributors sell to retailers, and what retailers sell to end customers, creates blind spots that lead to stockouts, missed opportunities, and inaccurate forecasts. Zylem’s secondary sales tracking software is built to fix that. It connects the dots between your channel partners and your performance metrics—turning guesswork into actionable insights. Why Secondary Sales Tracking Matters Secondary sales refer to the movement of goods from distributors to retailers or the final customer. This data tells you what’s really happening on the ground—what’s moving, where it's moving, and how fast. Without a proper secondary sales tracking system, businesses face several challenges: Inaccurate demand forecasting due to outdated or missing data Stock mismatches, leading to lost sales or excess inventory Poor scheme performance without real-time sales visibility Limited decision-making power for sales, marketing, and supply chain teams Low distributor trust due to claim disputes and delay The result? A business that operates reactively instead of strategically. What Is a Secondary Sales Tracking System? A secondary sales tracking system is a digital platform that captures and analyzes sales data from your downstream distribution network in real-time. It gives businesses visibility into what distributors and retailers are actually selling—when, where, and how much.
Zylem’s system helps centralize this information, offering clear dashboards, automated processes, and intelligent workflows to streamline everything from scheme execution to demand planning. With Zylem, you can track sales across: Distributors and sub-distributors Retailers and stockists Field sales teams Geographic territories and product categories It’s not just software—it’s a command center for your entire secondary sales network.
