[Demo] FoodChain Distribution

On-premise Odoo for a food wholesale distributor.

FoodChain distributes perishable goods to 500+ restaurants and hotels daily.

Challenge

Expiry date tracking was manual — recalls were slow and traceability was poor.

Deployed solution

On-premise Odoo with Inventory lot tracking, Purchase and Sales automation — full FEFO picking and instant recall capability.

Results

Full traceability achieved. Last recall resolved in 2 hours vs. 2 days previously.

Conclusion

FoodChain Distribution now operates with the traceability standards of a large food conglomerate. A recall that previously took two days of manual searching can now be executed in under two hours — a critical competitive and compliance advantage.
