Lot genealogy has holes
Co-packer receipts, rework and blends are not linked to finished lots. A mock recall becomes a scavenger hunt across Odoo, a WMS export and someone's inbox.

The problem
A recall drill shouldn't take four hours and three spreadsheets.
FEFO is configured. Pickers grab the wrong lots anyway.
A removal strategy that is not enforced at the scanner does not exist on the floor. Short-dated stock expires at the back of the rack.
FSMA 204 fields don't exist on your products
Key data elements, traceability lot codes, critical tracking events — retailers are starting to ask for them. Your system cannot answer.
Your agency quotes every traceability fix by the hour
So inventory accuracy sits at 82%, the floor keeps a paper log, and finance does not trust the COGS number.
One failed retailer audit or one unmanaged recall costs more than a year of this service. Traceability is the price of the shelf space you want.
The comparison
Four ways to get Odoo work done. Only one is built around the buyer.

How the first 30 days work
From access to shipped fixes in four moves.
- Day 1
15 minutes to start. Not 40 pages.
You grant Git and staging access; we open a shared Slack channel and your kanban portal. No 40‑page BRD, no discovery retainer.
- Days 2–5
Forensic audit, then a ranked Rescue Roadmap
We review receiving, production, co-packer and shipping flows for lot and expiry gaps; FEFO behaviour at the scanner; recall report coverage; FSMA 204 field gaps. You get a ranked, sized roadmap with a fix order — not a slide deck.
- Days 6–30
Ship the Top 10, staging to production
24-hour small and 3-day medium sprints on the gaps that would show up in your next retailer audit or mock recall. Every delivery lands in staging first, with a Loom walkthrough.
- Day 31+

Roll into Autopilot (monitoring, patching, annual upgrade, unlimited queue) or keep running sprints. Either way the code and docs are already yours.

Proof
Anonymous, because our clients' auditors read the internet too.
Built by operators who run Odoo in production inside regulated manufacturing and distribution businesses — not slide-deck consultants.
Specialty food producer · co-packer network
FEFO picking and co-packer receipts aligned; inventory accuracy from 82% to 98%.
BeforePickers ignored FEFO, co-packer receipts were keyed from PDFs, and a recall trace meant a day of exports.
AfterScanner-enforced FEFO, co-packer receipts mapped to finished lots, one-click recall trace from lot to customer.
- Under 5 min
- recall trace exercise
- 82% → 98%
- inventory accuracy in 60 days
Craft beverage manufacturer
Barrel and lot tracking aligned with production orders.
BeforeBarrel contents and blend lots were tracked on a whiteboard; production orders in Odoo did not match what was actually in the cellar.
AfterBarrels modeled as lots and locations, blends consume component lots on the MO, genealogy from grain to case.

Objections, answered
The questions a CFO asks before saying yes.
Can you map FSMA 204 requirements into Odoo?
Yes. We map key data elements and critical tracking events to Odoo lots, locations, pickings and integrations, scoped to the retailer requirements you actually face — not a generic checklist.
What counts as one request?
One discrete outcome: a report, a workflow fix, an integration mapping, a module change. Small requests (under roughly four hours) ship within 24 hours Mon–Fri; medium requests within 3 business days; large projects are split into phases and worked at your tier's concurrency — never billed extra.
Do you support Odoo.sh, on-prem, Enterprise and Community?
Yes to all of them. Odoo.sh, self-hosted on-prem or cloud, Community or Enterprise, every supported version. We ship through a staging-first Git workflow regardless of where you host, so nothing goes to production untested.
What if we already have an agency or an internal admin?
That is the normal starting point. We run a structured handover — repos, credentials, open tickets — and either take the whole backlog or only the technical layer your admin cannot cover (custom modules, integrations, upgrades). Nobody has to be replaced for this to work.
How does the 30-day cancellation actually work?
Email us any day in the first 30 days. The contract ends immediately, you owe nothing further, and you keep every commit, document and Loom walkthrough we delivered. After day 30 the engagement is a 3-month minimum, then month-to-month.
