A process as simple as a recipe 

Imagine a food company making a delicious soup. With Odoo, every step of production is controlled: 

1. Purchase of raw materials

You order your fresh vegetables using the Purchasing module, which ensures accurate tracking of orders and suppliers. 

2. Receipt and tracking by batch

Each ingredient is recorded in the Inventory module, with complete traceability thanks to unique lot numbers and expiration dates. 

3. Quality control

Before adding your carrots and celery to the pot, the Quality Control module ensures that everything meets your standards. This module allows you to set up checkpoints at different stages of the production chain, enabling you to quickly identify non-compliant items to correct the processes. 

4. Fabrication

The Manufacturing module transforms your raw materials into a finished product – a delicious soup, ready to be sold. Each batch is tracked all the way to the final product for an impeccable traceability. 🍲 

5. Sales

 Finally, your soup is sold and ready to be shipped/picked up! 

Promise, it works with sandwiches, desserts, etc. 

 

Do you know about IoT and Automation?

Odoo also offers integration with IoT (Internet of Things) devices, a valuable asset for companies in the agri-food sector. By using connected sensors, you could, for example, measure parameters such as temperature or humidity to ensure product quality. You could also automate alerts to receive notifications in case of anomalies in your production lines or warehouses. 

Traceability: the key asset for the agri-food industry 

Traceability is essential in the agri-food industry. Odoo makes it easy to track raw materials, finished products, and expiration dates for each batch. If needed, tracing the origin or journey of a product can be done in just a few clicks.  

PLM: Innovate while managing the lifecycle of your products 

With the PLM (Product Life Management) module, Odoo goes even further. This collaborative solution allows you to improve your bill of materials at every stage, from development to production. Do you need to adjust a recipe or update a technical sheet? The PLM integrates everything, ensuring a controlled version that is accessible to your team.
