Confidential Client — a project to centralize purchase and inventory processes for a distribution company.
The company works with numerous suppliers and distributes goods across several warehouses.
Purchase orders were managed in spreadsheets, making it difficult to track delivery timelines.
Every step from purchase request to goods receipt was documented together with the responsible staff.
Purchase requests were sent by email and logged in a separate spreadsheet, with status updates handled manually.
The proposal was to move all purchase requests and orders into Odoo's Purchase module and connect warehouse receiving with Inventory.
The Purchase → Inventory → Accounting chain tracked the process from purchase request through to payment within a single system.
It was piloted first with the highest-volume suppliers, then extended to the remaining ones.
The full scenario from purchase request to goods receipt was tested end-to-end.
The purchase process is now tracked in a single system, and coordination with suppliers has become simpler.
Starting with the highest-volume suppliers helped demonstrate the system's value more quickly.
