Figures are indicative estimates based on observed patterns in comparable SeniorERP clients.
FMCG Food Distribution (food + snacks + sweets)
Distributor €8-60M turnover, 4+ EDI retailers, 20-100 field agents + regional IKA

- ANAF e-Factura rejection rate 3-6% on large daily quantities
- eMAG cancel rate over 2% due to lack of fast stock sync → suspension risk
- Trade promotions with retailers (BOGOF, end-cap, gondola) done in Excel + manual reconciliation
