What Bottlenecks and How They Solved
Inventory errors and mispicks
Items end up in the wrong locations or not updated after movement, leading to missing stock and wrong shipments.
  • Business impact
    • Studies show up to 8% of warehouse stock value is lost yearly due to misplacement and errors
    • Leads to lost orders, returns, and customer dissatisfaction
    • Causes rework and time loss across operations
  • What we implement
    • Real-time inventory sync and scanning via mobile devices.
    • Automated location tracking and validation.
    • Instant update of quantities and locations across all channels.
Slow picking and excessive walking time
Operators follow inefficient routes, picking one order at a time with no optimization.
  • Business impact
    • Picking represents up to 50% of warehouse labor costs
    • Inefficient routing increases walking time and fatigue, reducing productivity
    • Delays order fulfillment and lowers throughput capacity
  • What we implement
    • Optimized pick routes and wave picking workflows
    • Batch/cluster picking for multiple orders simultaneously
    • Pick-by-priority logic and visual route guidance
Poor stock visibility across locations
Inventory levels are updated late or inconsistently between warehouse, retail, and eCommerce systems.
  • Business impact
    • Stock-outs or overstocks occur because of delayed data
    • Manual reconciliation wastes valuable time
    • Unreliable inventory data leads to poor purchasing and sales decisions
  • What we implement
    • Centralized inventory synchronization across all warehouses and sales channels
    • Unified real-time dashboard for stock levels and movements
    • Automatic notifications on low or excess stock
Manual scanning and data entry
Operators manually type data or rely on paper forms, leading to errors and lag in updates.
  • Business impact
    • Human errors increase costs and delay operations
    • Duplicate or missing entries reduce traceability
    • Employees spend more time recording than acting
  • What we implement
    • Mobile scanning apps directly connected to Odoo
    • On-the-fly inventory adjustments during operations
    • Automated label generation and barcode validation
Multi-channel synchronization difficulty
Stock changes are not reflected across online and offline systems, creating mismatched availability.
  • Business impact
    • Online customers order items that are already sold offline
    • Manual reconciliation increases workload
    • Inaccurate stock data causes missed sales opportunities
  • What we implement
    • Multi-channel synchronization integrated with Odoo
    • Real-time updates across marketplaces, shops, and warehouses
    • Unified product and location management for all sales flows
Delayed reporting and lack of traceability
Reports are generated manually or with delays, hiding issues in performance or discrepancies.
  • Business impact
    • Slow decisions and limited operational control
    • Inability to detect losses or bottlenecks early
    • Reduced accountability and transparency for audits
  • What we implement
    • Automated dashboards and performance analytics updated live
    • Audit trails for all movements and user actions
    • Custom KPI widgets for managers and supervisors
Inflexible warehouse workflows
Processes cannot adapt to changes in order volumes, product types, or warehouse layouts.
  • Business impact
    • High costs of manual reconfiguration and retraining
    • Slower adoption of new business models (B2B, eCommerce)
    • • Reduced scalability of operations during growth
  • What we implement
    • Configurable workflows for receiving, picking, and shipping
    • Role-based process templates adaptable to each business model
    • Low-code automation to adjust logic without IT dependency
Shrinkage, theft, and damaged goods
Stock discrepancies due to unrecorded losses, breakage, or theft remain unnoticed until audits.
  • Business impact
    • Warehouse shrinkage averages 1.5% of revenue in SMEs
    • Reduced profitability and inaccurate accounting
    • Difficult accountability without traceability
  • What we implement
    • Cycle counting and discrepancy alerts integrated with audit logs
    • Real-time tracking of received and dispatched goods
    • User-level accountability for all transactions
How our solutions address these problems
  • Increase visibility and accuracy
    Get instant stock updates from scanning devices and see true availability across all locations.
  • Accelerate fulfillment
    Wave and batch picking workflows minimize walking time and speed up order preparation.
  • Enable real-time control
    Managers see performance and exceptions as they happen, not at day-end reports.
  • Unify all channels and data
    Inventory from warehouse, retail, and eCommerce remains perfectly synchronized and traceable.
