Improving Inventory Management for a Meat and Seafood Wholesaler in the Philippines - Image

Client Overview

Our client is a prominent wholesale trader in the Philippines, specializing in high-quality meat and seafood products. Their product portfolio includes: Meat: Beef, pork, poultry, and lamb. Seafood: Fish, octopus, squid, processed seafood, shellfish, and shrimp. To support their growing business, they relied on Odoo Community Edition to manage their operations but faced challenges in handling their unique inventory requirements.

The Challenge

The client encountered operational inefficiencies due to the nature of their business:

Weight-Based Valuation: Accurate inventory valuation required tracking the total weight (in kilograms) of all stock.

Dual Inventory Metrics: While all transactions (sales and purchases) were weight-based, the client needed to quickly view inventory quantities in units for operational ease.

Product Variety and Complexity: Managing multiple categories of products, each with unique characteristics, added to the complexity.

Limitations of Odoo Community Edition: The system’s lack of native support for managing dual units of measure hindered their ability to streamline processes.

The Solution: CatchW8 ERP

To address these challenges, CatchW8 was implemented as an enhancement to their Odoo Community Edition system. The solution included:

Dual Units of Measure: Enabled inventory tracking in both units (e.g., pieces or boxes) and weight (kilograms).

Weight-Based Transactions: Automated sales and purchase processes based on weight, ensuring precision and reducing manual errors.

Real-Time Inventory Insights: Provided accurate visibility into the number of items available (units) and their total weight for inventory valuation.

Comprehensive Integration: Extended functionality across inventory, sales, purchase, and accounting modules to ensure seamless operations.

The Results

The implementation of CatchW8 delivered significant improvements:

Enhanced Inventory Management: Real-time visibility into inventory in both units and weight streamlined daily operations and planning.

Accurate Valuation: Automated weight-based inventory valuation ensured precise financial reporting and decision-making.

Efficient Transactions: Sales and purchase processes were optimized with automated weight-based calculations, saving time and reducing errors.

Adaptability for Product Variety: The system’s flexibility accommodated the client’s diverse product categories, simplifying inventory and transaction workflows.

Scalable Solution: The enhancements allowed the client to continue using Odoo Community Edition while addressing their specific business needs.

Voice of Success
