Odoo for Distributors

Inventory you can trust, purchasing that runs on real lead times, and orders that ship complete. Odoo implementation and recovery for B2B wholesale and industrial distributors.

Distributors live and die on inventory accuracy and margin. When the system says 40 on hand and the shelf holds 12, every decision downstream is wrong: what to buy, what to promise, and what the order actually earned. That is an operations problem first and a software problem second.

Who this is for

  • B2B wholesale and industrial distributors, typically $8M and up
  • Running on QuickBooks, spreadsheets, or a legacy system that no longer keeps up
  • Inventory on screen does not match the shelf
  • Buyers reorder from memory instead of reorder points and vendor lead times
  • Customer-specific pricing lives in spreadsheets and in sales reps’ heads
  • Already on Odoo, and it is not working: see Odoo Recovery

Consumer storefront brands and 3PL operations are not a fit. The work here is B2B distribution.
