The challenge

A building-materials distributor in the UAE bought from international principals in USD and EUR, held cost in AED, and struggled to keep its margins accurate as exchange rates moved between invoice and settlement. Delivery was managed on phone calls and spreadsheets, with no proof-of-delivery trail and frequent disputes over what was delivered. Customers had no way to track their orders.

The solution

DistroOps multi-currency finance posts every purchase, payment, and ledger entry with the correct exchange rate, recording realised FX gains and losses automatically so margins stay honest. The delivery module manages route runs with driver assignment, photo proof-of-delivery, and customer-facing public tracking links. Customers now track deliveries by token link without any login.

"Between currency swings and delivery disputes, we were losing margin we could not even measure. Now the FX is in the books correctly and every delivery has a photo and a tracking link. The arguments just stopped."
