Organise a paint dealers association around member shops, brand and retail classes, annual chanda, scheme circulars and AGM attendance — so the lane committee stops running on a mixing-counter notebook.
Dealers spend the day matching shades and credit. The association’s work — who is a member, who paid chanda, who stocks industrial coatings — still lives in a notebook behind the counter.
Some shops are pure retail; others sell industrial coatings. The association fee should reflect that; the notebook does not.
Dealers pay when sales slow. Handwritten receipts are disputed when the auditor asks in March.
A contractor asks the association for a specialist shop. The secretary cannot filter the list.
Company scheme notes are photocopied and pinned. Half the lane never sees the current one.
The association calls a number that belonged to last year’s salesman.
Turnout is guessed from last year. Seating and tea are wrong either way.
Each card is a feature that is live in Associan today.
A dealer submits firm name, GST, area and retail or industrial category between customers.
Business categories keep the directory useful when someone asks for a specialist.
Retail, wholesale and associate memberships can carry different amounts.
UPI or card from the shop phone. Cash at the association desk is entered against the same shop.
Post a company or association circular once instead of pinning tinted photocopies.
RSVP and QR check-in so the godown meeting matches the tea order.
The secretary filters shops whose chanda ends this month and emails the due amount. Dealers pay when the morning rush ends. Each payment issues a numbered PDF receipt.
A new industrial coatings shop applies with GST and the industrial category. The committee reviews it before the weekly sitting. The directory now shows the shop under the right tag.
The AGM in a member’s godown starts with pass scanning. The unpaid list for the next chanda round is already filtered, and the latest scheme note sits on one board.
Every payment sits on the shop, cash or online.
Decorative and industrial tags stay current.
One board, not a pinboard of faded copies.
RSVPs replace a guess for tea and chairs.
The same simple flow for every paint dealer, set up for your association in about a day.
Post it in your group or on your letterhead. Each paint dealer fills the form on their phone.
Firm details, GST and the documents your committee needs are uploaded with the application.
The committee approves and the fee is paid online, or recorded if paid by cash or cheque.
Membership number, PDF receipt, certificate and QR member pass are issued automatically.
AICR moved operator joining, fee collection, certificates and chapter-meet check-in onto one white-label app with its own name, logo and CIN on every PDF. Applications, document checks and payments that used to live in WhatsApp groups and spreadsheets now sit in one place the committee can see.
