Odoo ERP for Trading
and Distribution

Distribution is a margin business measured in single percentage points. We configure Odoo so freight, duty, and discount are inside the cost of every item before your sales team quotes it.

Sector challenges

Where trading margin disappears

Anything that hides true cost is a direct cost, and in most trading houses it hides in the same four places.

Unknown Landed Cost

Freight and duty are worked out in a spreadsheet weeks after the goods arrive.

Outdated Rate Sheets

Sales staff quote from a PDF that was current last quarter.

Credit Exposure

Orders ship to customers who are already past their limit.

Stock Ageing

Slow-moving inventory is identified long after it tied up working capital.

Manual Documentation

E-way bills and invoices are typed separately from the sales order.

Multi-Currency Errors

Exchange differences are adjusted manually at month end.

Our approach

How we configure Odoo for trading

Procurement Chain

Supplier quotation comparison, purchase orders, and three-way receipt matching.

Landed Cost Engine

Freight, customs, insurance, and clearing allocated by value, weight, or quantity.

Price List Management

Customer, quantity, and currency-based pricing applied automatically at order entry.

Credit & Collections

Limits enforced on confirmation, with ageing and follow-up for the finance team.

Warehouse Operations

Multi-location storage, putaway rules, and cycle counting driven by barcode.

Margin Reporting

Deal, product, and customer profitability visible in real time, not at month end.
