Odoo for traders and distributors

Trading businesses live on margin, stock and credit. Buy at the right landed cost, know what is in each warehouse, sell at the right price to the right customer, and get paid. Odoo does all of it in one system when it is set up for how you trade.

What we set up

No.PointWhat it means in practice

01Purchasing and landed costsPurchase orders, supplier bills and freight, duty and clearing added to the cost of goods, so margin is real.

02WarehousesEach godown or branch as a warehouse, with transfers between them and stock on hand everywhere at a glance.

03Price listsDifferent prices for distributors, retailers and walk-in customers, and discounts by quantity.

04Credit controlCredit limits per customer, with orders held when a customer is over the limit or overdue.

05Sales teamsOrders by salesperson and region, with targets and commission reports.

06Deliveries and returnsDelivery orders, proof of delivery and returns that put stock back and raise the credit note.

In Pakistan

Sales tax on every invoice, FBR digital invoicing, and a monthly return prepared from the same data. Most traders we speak to are moving from Tally or Excel.

Questions people ask

Can salespeople take orders on their phones?

Yes. Odoo works in a phone browser, and orders go straight into the system.

Can we track lots or expiry dates?

Yes. Lots, serial numbers and expiry dates can be switched on per product.

We have several branches. Is that a problem?

No. Each branch can be a warehouse, or a company if it keeps separate books.
