Pharma Distribution Offices – Staff Attendance + Multi-Shift + Dispatch/Delivery Route Mapping + Late/Early Rules + OT Approval + Billing/Accounts Counter Tracking + Stock & Cold-Chain Role Control + Payroll Export Automation | Modi Group ✅
Pharma distribution me attendance sirf HR nahi — morning dispatch cut-off, billing speed, pick-pack accuracy, expiry/return handling, cold-chain discipline, credit note approvals, route coverage sab duty mapping se control hota hai. Agar multi-shift + late rules + OT approval + billing/dispatch/inventory mapping strong nahi hoga toh late deliveries, invoice errors, stock mismatch, compliance risk aur payroll disputes create hote hain.
