THE FONDACOS PLATFORM

Know what was sent, what sold and what is still on the shelf.

Whether the deal is sale or return or consignment, a brand can end up chasing till reports while a shop checks old delivery notes. Fondacos ties the accepted agreement to dispatches, confirmed receipts, sales, returns and settlement, giving both businesses a record they can check together.

ONE PLACEMENT, ONE STOCK LEDGER

Start with the dispatch. Keep counting from there.

The brand sends the goods, the shop confirms the delivery, and sales reduce the stock held in store. If the numbers differ, the dispatch, receipt and evidence remain visible for review before the agreement determines any financial responsibility.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What stock placement software should keep track of

How agreements, the stock ledger, sales imports and partner invitations fit together.

What does Fondacos help a business manage?

It gives the brand and retailer a shared record of the agreed terms, whether sale or return or consignment, plus products, quantities, deliveries, sales, returns and settlement. Fondacos keeps dispatch and confirmed receipt separate, so a difference between the two remains visible.

Can we use Fondacos with a retailer or brand we already know?

Yes. Direct business invitations let you connect an existing partner and start an agreement without using marketplace discovery.

Does Fondacos connect to EPOS systems?

The current sales workflow supports manual CSV imports. The import adapter is designed to support additional EPOS providers as integrations are added.
