FMCG / Daily Needs Products in the MLM industry

Fast-moving consumer goods are bought every week: food and drinks, personal care, household cleaning, baby care, pet food. A company that sells them through a network does not live on the first order but on the hundredth, and its software has to be built for that: a catalogue of hundreds of small products, each with a price and a point value, orders that repeat every month, stockists who hold goods and sell offline, and a compensation plan that pays on repeat volume rather than on a one-time sale. MLM software for the FMCG industry is Daani's MLM software configured for daily-needs companies, one of the configurations run by the more than 100 network marketing companies in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia and other countries that use the software. This page covers what an FMCG network needs from the software, the plans these companies run, the path from the first order to the monthly payout and the cost.

What an FMCG network needs from the software

• A large catalogue with point values. Each product carries its price in each currency and the point value the plan pays on; categories, pack sizes and bundles are managed in the product management module, and a price or point change applies everywhere at once.
• Repeat orders and autoship. A member or a customer sets a monthly order that repeats until they change it; the order is charged through the gateway, the goods are shipped and the volume counts for the month without anyone logging in.
• Stockists and offline sales. Stockists and dealers hold goods and sell to members and customers in their area; their stock is recorded against them, and an offline sale is entered through the manual payment entry or the integration module with the stockist's billing, so that the volume and the commission are the same whether the order was placed online or at the counter.
• Stock and shipping. Stock levels are kept current per product and per warehouse or stockist, and orders are shipped from the nearest one.
• Member pages, shop and app. Every member has a replicated page with the shop and their link; customers buy through it and members manage their monthly order, their team and their commissions in the back office and the app.
• Commissions and payouts. The plan is calculated every period on personal and group point volume; commissions go to the e-wallet and out through the mass payout or the gateways, with the statements and reports the company's accountant needs.
• Communication. A new product, a monthly promotion or a stock update is sent to the network by e-mail, SMS or WhatsApp from the admin panel.

Plans FMCG networks run

The repurchase plan is the backbone of a daily-needs network: it pays on every month's repeat volume, personal and group, and makes the income recurring. Companies combine it with a unilevel plan for the level commissions, with a generation plan for leaders who build regions, or with a binary plan when they want fast team growth; a company that wants a simple single-line structure uses the monoline plan. The plans overview compares them, and the demo is configured with the plan you send.

From the first order to the monthly payout

1. A member joins from the company's site or from another member's page, receives their page, their app and their back office, and sets their monthly order.
2. Customers buy through the member's page or from the local stockist; every order carries its point value and is credited to the member and up the line.
3. On the order date the monthly orders are charged and shipped; the stockist's offline sales are entered as they happen.
4. At the end of the month the software calculates personal and group volume, applies the plan, the admin approves the run and the payout goes to the members' wallets or bank accounts.

Who uses it

Food and beverage companies that sell through a network, as the food items page describes; personal care and cosmetics brands, as on the beauty products page; herbal and natural product companies; household cleaning brands; and general daily-needs companies with a mixed catalogue and a stockist network. A company that sells the same catalogue to the public through an online shop runs it on the e-commerce configuration with the network behind it.

Cost

The ready-made 4G package costs $50 to $150 USD per month and the 5G and 6G packages up to $800 per month, hosting on the Daani server, updates and support for as long as you are our client included; an FMCG company with a catalogue, a plan and a network runs on it. A customised edition, for instance with the stockist billing integration or the warehouse rules built the way your company works, is a one-time project: 3,000 for the 5G package and 6,999 for the 6G, with discounts of up to 70% from time to time. The pricing page has the full list.

Frequently asked questions

What is a point value? A number per product on which the plan pays, separate from the price; it lets the company pay the same commission on a product in every currency and weight a product's margin without changing its price.

Can a stockist be a member too? Yes. A stockist is a member with a stockist role: their own purchases and sales count in the plan, and their stock is recorded against them.

What if a customer skips a month? The monthly order is paused or changed in the customer's account; the volume and the commission on it fall away for that month and return when it resumes.

Does it run in several countries with different ranges? Yes. Prices, point values, currencies, languages and gateways are set per country, and a product can be offered in some countries and not in others.
