Distribution networks pay on commission, fast
Beverage, FMCG and telecom distribution in Uganda runs on field agents, van sales crews and depot reps โ paid on commission, per route or per case sold. When a manufacturer like a brewery or a telco settles its agent network weekly, that is hundreds of variable-amount payments that have to be right and on time, or agents walk.
Why bulk payouts beat manual settlement
- Commission amounts differ per agent every cycle โ manual sending invites errors.
- Agents are spread across districts; mobile money reaches all of them instantly.
- A payout record per agent ties directly to collections and stock reconciliation.
- Fast, accurate pay keeps your best agents loyal.
How to settle an agent network in one batch
- Pull each agent's earned commission from your sales/collections data โ name, phone, amount.
- Load the batch into a bulk payout tool.
- Approve one wallet load with your PIN.
- Every agent is paid their exact commission at once, with a record kept.

Commission, withholding and records
Agent commissions may attract withholding tax depending on the agent's status and registration. Keep each commission payment documented with the basis (cases sold, collections, route) so you can apply the correct treatment and reconcile against stock.
| Agent type | Pay basis | Reconcile against |
|---|---|---|
| Van sales crew | Per case / route | Stock loaded vs returned |
| Depot rep | Commission % | Collections banked |
| Field agent | Per activation / sale | Activation log |
Turn payments into network intelligence
A complete payout history per agent shows who is productive, who is dormant and what each route really costs to service โ the basis for restructuring your distribution and for offering agents working-capital finance.
