Typical Challenges in Food & Beverage Distribution:
📊 Purchasing, Replenishment, & Forecasting
Manual purchasing and weak demand forecasting cause frequent stockouts or overstocking, increasing waste and putting constant pressure on procurement teams.
🥦 Perishable Inventory & Expiration Control
Without proper lot and expiration tracking, distributors lose visibility over shelf life, leading to expired stock, write-offs, and incorrect FIFO or FEFO handling during picking.
📦 Warehouse & WMS Complexity
Growing SKU volumes and daily high-throughput shipments overwhelm warehouses that lack structured locations, barcode workflows, and optimized picking strategies.
🔗 Disconnected Sales Channels
B2B, PoS, and online orders often operate in silos, resulting in inconsistent pricing, unreliable stock availability, and fulfillment errors.
📈 Scaling & Performance Issues
As the business grows, systems slow down, access rights become uncontrolled, and reporting turns heavy, making the ERP a bottleneck instead of a growth enabler.

Talk to us nowWe Support Integrations with:
A typical Food & Beverage company using Odoo usually requires integrations with an eCommerce platform like Shopify, PrestaShop, WooCommerce, local or global marketplaces, carriers and 3PL providers, local accounting and tax software, and hardware for production and inventory management.
We handle most of these integrations through our own modules, connectors, and mobile apps. For everything else, we provide a ready-to-use API.
FAQ
-
🧮 How do I manage multiple units of measure (piece, kg, liter, box, pallet) with full transparency?
Odoo natively supports multiple units of measure and conversions across sales, purchasing, POS, and warehouse operations. Combined with Ventor’s mobile warehouse app, this ensures accurate picking, labeling, and stock control regardless of how products are bought, stored, or sold.
-
⏳ How do I prevent expired goods from being shipped, forgotten in the warehouse, or lost due to theft?
We implement strict lot and expiration date tracking with real-time stock visibility and enforced movement rules. Inventory adjustments are controlled, fully logged, and tied to specific users and locations.
For example, one food distributor reduced unexplained inventory losses after implementing barcode-based stock movements in Odoo, mandatory reason codes for adjustments, and lot-level traceability. Once every movement became visible and auditable in the system, both expired stock write-offs and internal losses dropped 73% within the first few months.
-
🏢 How do we organize the warehouse so new staff can work efficiently from day one?
We deploy guided warehouse workflows (via the Ventor app) that show employees exactly what to pick, where to go, and where to place goods. The system supports optimal routing, appropriate picking methods (batch, zone, cluster), and clear separation of warehouses — such as a main warehouse, shop warehouse, or retail location — so processes stay simple and consistent.
-
📦 Can I separate warehouses, brands, or business units without duplicating systems?
Yes. Odoo supports multi-warehouse, multi-company, and multi-brand setups within a single system. Once the core logic is implemented, extending it to new branches or locations becomes significantly faster and easier without rebuilding everything from scratch.
-
⚙️ What happens if my processes are more complex than standard Odoo?
This is exactly where VentorTech excels. We specialize in operationally complex businesses that need more than a basic Odoo setup. Our approach combines deep business logic with technical excellence — allowing you to start quickly with standard, proven solutions, while building a scalable, high-performance system that can evolve as your operations grow.
