What retail and trading businesses should expect from an ERP.

A trading business lives on three numbers: what is in stock, what is owed, and what each order earns.

The daily questions

Retail, wholesale and trading businesses repeat the same questions every day: how much stock do we have, where is it, who owes us money, and can we fulfil a large order without losing margin. If answering them takes a call to the warehouse or a spreadsheet, decisions slow down.

Stock across warehouses

YIKES ERP tracks inventory in real time across multiple warehouses, with batch-level tracking, serial barcodes, FIFO and LIFO valuation and automated reorder points, so stockouts and over-commitment are visible before they happen.

Getting paid on time

Late payment is the quiet cost of trading. YIKES shows live debtor aging, sends automated WhatsApp payment reminders with dynamic UPI QR links, and clears the ledger automatically when the payment reaches the bank, so follow-up is consistent instead of dependent on memory.

Protecting margin before you sign

For large or manufactured orders, YIKES calculates costs from the Bill of Materials, scores vendors against their SLAs, and applies a purchase approval matrix, giving real-time margin visibility before a customer contract is accepted.
