Odoo ERP · Trading & distribution

Sounds familiar?
- We're never sure what's really in stock
- Quotations take too long to prepare
- Customers pay late and we chase them by phone
- Every branch keeps its own spreadsheet
- We don't know the true cost of imported goods

The Odoo apps
What Odoo does for trading and distribution companies.

Inventory
Live stock in every warehouse and branch, with lots, serial numbers and expiry dates (first-expired, first-out for food).
Barcode
Staff scan goods in and out on a phone or scanner, so stock counts stay right.

Purchase
Reordering rules raise purchase orders before stock runs out.

Questions
Odoo for trading and distribution, answered.
Our stock is complicated: pieces, cartons, pallets.
Odoo handles different units, like buying by the carton and selling by the piece, plus lots and expiry dates. In the demo we show it with your own products.
We import from many countries. Can Odoo show our real margin?
Yes. Purchases can be in any currency, and freight, customs and duty are added to the product cost as landed costs, so the margin on each sale is the real one.
Our salesmen are always on the road.
They use the Odoo app on their phone to check stock and prices and send quotations from the customer's office.
Can you move our products and opening stock from our current system?
Yes. Products, customers, suppliers, opening stock and balances are migrated from Excel, Tally, QuickBooks or your current system, and checked with you before go-live.
Do you work with trading companies outside the UAE?
Yes. We implement Odoo for trading companies across the GCC: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman as well as the UAE. Configuration, data migration and most training run remotely from Dubai, and we come on site for workshops and go-live when the project needs it.
