Odoo · Logistics & Supply Chain
Run your fleet, warehouses, routes and customs documents on a single Odoo backbone — with mobile apps drivers actually use.
We deploy Odoo ERP for freight forwarders, 3PLs, transporters, distributors and last-mile operators — with route optimization, customs templates, driver apps and customer portals built in.
The problems 3PLs, forwarders and fleet operators raise most, and how we set Odoo up to handle each one.
The problem
Pallet-days, picks and value-added services are worked out in spreadsheets each month, and some of them never get billed.
With Odoo
Stock held per client, storage charged as recurring fees, handling charged from the actual transfers, and invoices produced on a schedule.
The problem
Several clients share one warehouse, putaway is ad hoc and the wrong items leave the dock.
With Odoo
Putaway rules and storage categories, multi-step receipts and deliveries, batch and wave picking, and every movement confirmed by barcode.
The problem
Customer service spends the day answering where an order is and how much stock is left.
With Odoo
A client portal with live stock, orders, documents and invoices, and tickets for anything that needs a person.
The problem
Fuel, servicing, permits and insurance are tracked per vehicle in notebooks, so the cost of a trip is a guess.
With Odoo
Every vehicle with its contracts, services, odometer readings and documents, and costs posted per vehicle and per trip.
The problem
Each shipment has revenue against carrier and agent costs in several currencies, and the margin is only known weeks later.
With Odoo
Every job on its own analytic account, carrier and agent bills matched to it, multi-currency accounting and the paperwork stored on the job.
The problem
Warehouse shifts and driver duties are planned on whiteboards, and overtime is argued over at payroll.
With Odoo
Shift planning by site, attendance from kiosks or phones, leave requests, and payroll fed by the hours actually worked.
How a third-party logistics flow runs once Odoo is set up, and the app that carries each step.
Contract, rates and service levels agreed and signed.
Receipts checked against the advance notice, with lots and serials captured.
Putaway rules send each pallet to the right location for that client.
Wave picking, packing and carrier labels, with e-way bills in India.
Deliveries grouped into trips per vehicle; proof of delivery signed on the driver's phone.
Storage and handling invoiced; clients see stock and invoices in their portal.
A complete operational backbone — from booking and dispatch to billing and customer reporting.
Track every vehicle, driver, fuel ledger, maintenance schedule, route assignment and delivery proof in a single Odoo workspace — with mobile apps your drivers will actually use.
Run multiple distribution centres, transit warehouses and cross-dock locations on a single Odoo Inventory backbone — with serial/lot traceability and putaway/removal strategies tuned to your flow.
Optimize delivery routes by distance, time-window, vehicle capacity and SLA — driven by a custom Odoo module wired to Google Maps and OpenRouteService.
Auto-generate way bills, e-way bills, packing lists, COO, BoL, customs declarations and shipping manifests — region-aware for India, GCC, EU and US compliance.
Real-time dashboards for OTIF, dwell time, route adherence, cost per shipment and customer-level SLAs — exportable for board reporting and customer QBRs.
Branded customer portals for shippers to track shipments, view documents, book pickups and run reports — without your ops team touching the phone.
Standard Odoo apps, set up for warehouses, fleets and forwarding. Route optimisation, telematics and customs systems connect in through APIs.

Shipping, tracking and inventory projects from our published case studies.
iVentureTeam connected Odoo 12 Sales and eCommerce to Shippo (GoShippo), the multi-carrier shipping platform covering 50+ domestic and international carriers. Live rates appear on quotes and website checkout, and validating a delivery order now generates the shipping label, tracking number, and cost back in Odoo automatically.
iVentureTeam integrated AfterShip — the shipment tracking platform covering 686 international couriers — with Odoo Sales and Purchase. Outbound deliveries register in AfterShip automatically on validation, inbound vendor shipments are matched to purchase orders, and a scheduled action keeps every tracking record's status current inside Odoo.
KMF Technologies, The Gambia's leading technology consulting and hardware firm serving government and healthcare clients across West Africa, tracked products and stock by hand. iVentureTeam implemented Odoo Sales, Purchase, Inventory, and Accounting with a Gambia-specific chart of accounts, custom PDF reports, migrated master data, and staff training through a phased go-live.
