CORE CAPABILITIES
What Odoo Gives Your F&B Distribution Operation
Lot Tracking and Expiration Management
Assign lot numbers at receiving, track expiration dates, and automate FEFO inventory management. Odoo's food traceability software alerts your team before stock reaches its use by date.
FEFO / FIFO Automated Picking Strategies
Set FEFO/FIFO picking rules by product category. Odoo's warehouse management system automatically pulls the oldest or soonest expiring stock first, no normal checks needed.
Multi-unit-of-Measure Support
Buy by pallet, store by case, sell by weight or unit. Odoo automates unit of measure conversions across purchasing, inventory, and sales orders.
Supplier Traceability and Audit Records
Every lot links to its purchase order, supplier and delivery date for full food safety compliance. Generate forward or backward trace reports in seconds during an audit.
Delivery Routing and Fleet Management
Manage drivers, vehicle schedules, and cold chain delivery routing from the same platform that runs your inventory and invoicing.
Real-time inventory and Spoilage Reporting
Track stock value, near-expiry lots, and slow-moving SKUs on real-time inventory dashboards. Catch spoilage-driven margin loss before it hits your P&L.
