Pallets, Routes and Returnable Bottles Make Distribution Harder Than It Looks
A distributor moves heavy products to bars, restaurants and stores on fixed routes. Customers order by phone, deliveries are partial, empties come back, and the driver's paper invoice does not always match the warehouse.
How InnovanSIS helps
What We Set Up Around Your Day
Orders that become delivery lists
Orders taken by phone or message are grouped by route and day, and the warehouse picks them in that order.
Lots and expiry, oldest first
Products with an expiry date are tracked by lot so the oldest stock goes out first and returns can be traced.
Customer balances that are clear
Each account shows what was delivered, what was paid and what is overdue, so collection calls are based on facts.
Apps we use
The Apps Behind It
Odoo Community apps, the free open-source edition, set up around how your business works.
Sales
Orders by customer with price lists and delivery notes.
Inventory
Warehouse stock, lots, expiry dates and delivery orders.
Purchase
Orders to brewers and producers with reorder points.
Fleet
Vehicles, services and costs for the delivery fleet.
Invoicing
Invoices, payment terms and aging of balances.
Needs a Paid Edition or Custom Work
Some needs go beyond the Community apps. We say so before quoting.
Barcode
Warehouse scanning for faster picking, as a paid edition app.
We work with Odoo Community, the open-source edition. InnovanSIS is an independent company, founded by Cuban entrepreneurs, that sets it up around your business; we are not Odoo. Anything marked paid belongs to a paid Odoo edition or to custom work, and we state that before quoting.
Questions
Common Questions
Yes, as products with their own stock and a balance per customer. The accounting treatment of deposits is something we define with your accountant.
A phone browser can show the day's deliveries and confirm them. Offline use and route optimization are not part of the Community apps, and we would scope them separately if you need them.
Inventory supports multiple warehouses and transfers between them. We confirm how your trucks are loaded before deciding how to model it.
