Tile Stock Visibility for Dealers: What a Factory Should Share

Short answer: Tile stock visibility for dealers works well when the factory shares free stock by design, size and grade after confirmed orders, plus each dealer's own orders, status and dispatch details, and keeps other dealers' orders, cost and internal notes inside. Share rounded figures for fast designs and exact batch quantities on request for project orders. Decide who sees what before you open any dealer login.

Morbi factories sell through dealers across Gujarat, Maharashtra and beyond. The more a dealer can check without calling, the faster they can promise a buyer. This guide covers what to share, what to keep and how to do it. For how factories hold stock, see ceramic stock management for tile factories.

Why does tile stock visibility for dealers matter?

A dealer in Pune with a builder on the phone wants to know now whether 1,500 boxes of a design are free. Without visibility, they call the salesperson, who calls the godown. Some deals are lost in that wait.

What should a factory share with dealers, and what should it keep?

Table of what a tile factory should share with dealers: free stock, their own orders and dispatch yes; batch quantities on request; other dealers orders and costs no

Share what helps a dealer sell and plan. Keep what is private to other dealers or to the factory.

Share:

  • Free stock by design, size and grade, after confirmed orders.

  • The dealer's own orders, with ready, half-ready or not-ready status.

  • Dispatch details: invoice, transporter, LR number.

Keep inside:

  • Other dealers' orders and names.

  • Cost, profit and plant notes.

  • Stock held for key accounts.

Should dealers see current stock or stock after orders?

Stock after confirmed orders. Current stock includes boxes already promised to someone else. Showing it leads to two dealers selling the same boxes.

  • Current stock (everything in the godown): share with dealers? no.

  • After order stock (minus all orders): share with dealers? inside only.

  • After confirmed order stock (minus confirmed orders): share with dealers? yes, for free stock.

How should a factory open stock visibility in steps?

Start small and widen it as dealers trust the figures.

  1. Daily list: send top designs with free stock on WhatsApp.

  2. On request: answer a design query from the system, not memory.

  3. Own orders: let dealers check their own orders and status.

  4. Login: give key dealers a login once figures are reliable.

Should a tile factory let dealers see its stock?

Yes, within limits. Share free stock by design and grade after confirmed orders, and each dealer's own orders and dispatch. Keep other dealers' orders, cost and internal notes inside.

Which stock figure should dealers see?

Stock after confirmed orders, so boxes already promised to another dealer are not offered twice.

Should a factory share batch quantities?

On request, for project orders that need one batch. For daily selling, free stock by design and grade is enough.

Is a dealer login needed for stock visibility?

Not at first. A factory can start with a daily free-stock list on WhatsApp and answers from the system, then add logins for key dealers.

Can SAS show stock after confirmed orders?

Yes. The SAS Design Stock View has an after confirm order stock option, in the screens shared on 19 Oct 2026.
