Common Problems for Wholesale Distributors |
How Odoo solves it |
|---|---|
| Every customer has different prices and terms | Price lists: price lists per customer or group, volume breaks and payment terms |
| Big retail customers send orders by EDI and fine you for mistakes | EDI: EDI orders, ship notices and invoices (via a connector), with packing rules per customer |
| Stock is spread over several warehouses and nobody trusts the numbers | Multi-warehouse stock: multi-warehouse stock, barcode scanning and cycle counts |
| Picking and packing is slow and error-prone | Pick, pack and ship: pick, pack and ship steps with barcode scanners and batch or wave picking |
| True product cost is unclear once freight and duties are added | Landed costs: landed costs added to each product |
| Buying too much or too little | Reordering: reorder rules and purchase suggestions based on sales |
| Units are confusing (each, case, pallet) | Units of measure: units of measure and packaging per product |
| Customers call to place reorders and check orders | B2B portal: B2B portal or online store for reorders, order status and invoices |
| Supplier rebates and margins are tracked in spreadsheets | Margins and rebates: margin reports per product and customer, plus vendor rebate tracking |

The problem: a mid-sized distribution company using Odoo managed batch transfers manually, with multiple approval and data-entry steps, limited visibility into transfer status, and frequent picking and packing errors.
What we set up: a redesigned batch transfer workflow in Odoo Inventory — batch picking, automatic stock validation, pick lists per batch, one-click batch out, and packaging rules based on weight, product category or destination.
One result: fewer manual steps per transfer, with faster and more accurate batch shipping.
