Not everyone comes to SANAK with the same problem. Here's how SANAK addresses the most common operational challenges facing distributors and warehouse operators in Southeast Asia.

Challenge 01

"We don't know our real stock level until someone physically checks."

Root cause

Stock records live in Excel spreadsheets updated once a day — or once a week. By the time the data reaches a decision-maker, it's already stale.

The SANAK solution

Every movement — every receiving, every outbound, every adjustment — updates the system in real time. The moment a warehouse worker confirms a GRN, the stock count changes. When a sales rep queries stock from their phone at 2pm, they're seeing what the warehouse actually contains at 2pm.

Challenge 02

"If our warehouse supervisor is out, everything slows down."

Approve
Review

Root cause

Operational knowledge — where things are, what to pick first, how to handle exceptions — lives in the heads of one or two people. When they're unavailable, the operation fragments.

The SANAK solution

SANAK encodes operational logic into the system. FEFO enforcement means the system tells staff which batch to pick — they don't need to remember. Approval workflows mean large adjustments go through the right channel automatically. Daily summaries mean owners have context even when they're not on-site. The operation runs on the system, not on any one person.

Challenge 03

"We have no idea what's happening until the end of the month."

Root cause

Reporting is manual. It takes time to compile, is prone to errors, and by the time it's ready, the decisions it should inform have already been made.

The SANAK solution

SANAK delivers a morning summary automatically, every day. Owners and managers see yesterday's receiving, outbound, and adjustments — along with items approaching expiry and stocks below threshold — before the working day begins. On-demand reporting is available through a simple voice or text query at any time.

Challenge 04

"Products keep expiring before we sell them."

120 days
45 days

Root cause

Expiry dates aren't tracked at the system level. Staff rely on memory or periodic stocktakes to catch near-expiry items — often too late.

The SANAK solution

SANAK tracks every perishable item at the batch level from the moment it's received. Automated alerts fire at 60, 30, 14, and 7 days before expiry — with estimated ringgit value at risk, so the business can take action before the loss is locked in. Expired items are blocked from outbound transactions entirely.

Challenge 05

"We can't tell what happened when something goes wrong."

Root cause

No audit trail. When stock doesn't match the system, there's no way to investigate — no record of who did what, when, or why.

The SANAK solution

SANAK maintains a permanent, immutable audit ledger. Every transaction — incoming, outgoing, adjusted — is recorded with the user who performed it, the timestamp, and the document reference. Nothing can be deleted or edited after the fact. When something doesn't add up, the answer is always findable.

[ Solutions by business stage ]

Wherever you are, we start there.

01

Just starting to digitize

If your operation is still running primarily on Excel and WhatsApp, SANAK can go live in a single working day. Import your item master from a template, confirm your opening stock, invite your team, and you're operational.

02

Already have accounting software

SANAK is designed to complement existing accounting systems — SQL Accounting, Autocount, QuickBooks, and others — not replace them. We fill the operational gap between the back office and the warehouse floor.

03

Growing fast and losing control

Growth amplifies the problems of manual coordination. SANAK scales with your volume without requiring proportional headcount increases in coordination roles.
