Software for modern distribution organizations
Distribution companies are the heart of the supply chain. Products must be available at the right time, in the right place, and in the right quantity. But that role is becoming increasingly complex.
Customers expect shorter delivery times and real-time insights. Suppliers operate internationally, delivery times fluctuate, and inventory must remain as low as possible without compromising service levels. At the same time, margins are under pressure and the number of SKUs is growing rapidly.
Many distribution organizations still work with fragmented systems: Excel for forecasting, a standalone WMS, separate accounting, or non-integrated e-commerce and EDI. The result? Limited insight, manual corrections, and unnecessarily high inventory costs.
Why do distribution companies choose Odoo ERP?
Odoo is one of the fastest-growing ERP platforms worldwide and is particularly suitable as an ERP for distribution companies. The software integrates purchasing, inventory management, logistics, sales, and finance into one cohesive platform. Real-time, centralized, and fully aligned.
Real-time inventory management across multiple warehouses
Odoo provides real-time insight into available, reserved, and incoming inventory across all warehouses. Sales, logistics, and purchasing work with the same up-to-date data, preventing lost sales, double reservations, and overstock.
Smart purchasing and automatic replenishment
Automatic purchasing proposals based on inventory levels, sales data, and lead times. Odoo calculates what and when to purchase, reduces inventory costs, and prevents urgent orders.
Advanced Warehouse Management (WMS)
From receiving to shipping: Odoo streamlines the entire logistics process with barcode scanning and smart picking methods. Every movement of goods is recorded for maximum control and minimal errors.
Seamless integration with sales channels
Odoo centralizes orders from field service, web shop, and marketplaces. Sales, inventory, and invoicing are directly linked, eliminating manual entry and minimizing errors.
Complete insight into margins and cost prices
Real-time insight into gross margins per item, customer, and order. Purchase prices, discounts, and logistics costs are automatically processed, so you know exactly where profits are being made.
Batch and serial number registration
Odoo records batches and serial numbers throughout the entire chain. Complete traceability supports returns, warranty processing, and recalls, and increases reliability towards customers.
Integrated logistics and finance
Logistics, order processing, and accounting work together in one system. Deliveries can be automatically invoiced, and dashboards provide immediate insight into cash flow and performance.
Scalable and future-proof
Odoo supports multiple warehouses, companies, countries, and currencies. Thanks to its modular design, the system grows with your distribution organization without complex migrations.
