Boni Trade OS

Run brand-to-distributor-to-retailer trade on one permissioned network: orders, stock, schemes, claims and collections.

One chain, one system

Boni Trade OS runs the commercial chain from a brand to its C&F agents, super-stockists, distributors, sub-distributors and retail or HORECA buyers. Each party is a node in one permissioned network rather than a separate product, so an order, a stock movement, a scheme and a claim all refer to the same relationship.

Operators work in the Trade OS workspace in Boni Panel. It opens on Overview, Network, Orders, Inventory and Schemes and claims, with an Operations area for prices, stock, returns, field work, vans and accounts.

What each leg means

LegWho sells to whomWhat Trade OS records
PrimaryBrand or super-stockist to distributorOrder, allocation, dispatch, goods receipt, payment and outstanding projection, claim settlement
SecondaryDistributor to retailer or business buyerBuyer price and scheme, stock allocation, delivery, collection, return
ReverseGoods or value moving back upstreamDamage, expiry, shortage or recall return with proof, approval, credit reference and replacement

Primary and secondary are attributes of one order model, not separate systems. A node's position in the network determines what it sees and what it may do.

Where money is authoritative

Trade OS owns operational facts: who ordered, what shipped, what was received, what remains. It does not own posted financial truth. Invoices, credit notes, journals, tax and payment records live in Boni Accounting, which receives canonical events from Trade OS.

This split matters during onboarding: a distributor can start using Trade OS for ordering and stock without replacing the accounting system already in use. Exports to an existing accounting or ERP product are an opt-in downstream projection, never the source of record.

Getting started

Trade OS is in production and available now. Boni configures the network shape, the nodes, their price books and their logins with you, then your team runs it. Talk to Boni to scope a rollout.
