Odoo doesn't have to feel like Odoo.

Barcode picking for the warehouse floor

A mobile web app that lists the day's transfers, lets a picker scan each line and writes the picked quantities and lots straight back to the transfer. It checks lot expiry as lines are picked so short-dated stock is caught on the floor, not by the customer.

Used by

Pickers on phones, logged in with their Odoo user

Replaced

Printed pick lists, hand-written quantities, re-keying into Odoo later

Also

• Installs to the phone home screen
• Every write is logged for audit

Wholesale ordering portal for B2B customers

Customers log in, see their own prices and only the products relevant to them, and place an order that lands in Odoo as a confirmed sale order. Stock shown is scoped to the warehouse that actually ships to them. Invoices are emailed by the portal's own scheduler; one of Odoo's mail rules had to be scoped so customers were not emailed twice.

Used by

Trade customers ordering for their own shops and kitchens

Replaced

Orders arriving by phone and chat, typed into Odoo by staff

Also

• Live on the client's own domain
• Per-customer product visibility, by design

Kitchen production board

A read-only board on a screen in each kitchen showing what to make today, in what order, for which customers. It is driven entirely by Odoo's automatic manufacturing orders and min/max replenishment rules. Getting the board right meant fixing lead times on 184 bills of materials and 113 replenishment rules in Odoo first.

Used by

Cooks and bakers at each site

Replaced

Printed manufacturing order lists and a shared terminal

Container and shipment planning

Plan a container against open purchase orders, see the cubic metres fill up as products are added, and keep a register of every shipment. Carton dimensions are measured once per packaging group and inherited by every product in it, so the volume maths is right the first time.

Used by

The purchasing and logistics team

Replaced

One spreadsheet per container

Also

• 2,855 products, 1,312 measured cartons
• 974 automated tests

All 9 apps, including the ones that turned out not to need an app at all.

1. 01

   Odoo keeps the data

   Products, customers, orders, stock, accounting. All of it stays in your Odoo, exactly as it is today.

2. 02

   The app talks to Odoo through its API

   It reads what it needs and writes decisions back through Odoo's external API (JSON-2 on Odoo 19, JSON-RPC before it), as a normal Odoo user with normal access rights. No custom code is installed inside Odoo.

3. 03

   Your users get one screen for their job

   A picker sees pickings. A rep sees customers and products. A supplier sees their purchase orders. Nobody has to learn Odoo to use it.

Need us to host and maintain it? We can do that too.
