Inventory is wrong, and everyone knows it
Cycle counts do not match on-hand, on-hand does not match the 3PL, and valuation does not match the books. So buyers over-order and sales over-promise.
Odoo for Wholesale Distribution
For COOs, CFOs & Ops Leaders at $5M–$150M+ Wholesale Distributors Running Odoo
For wholesale distributors running Odoo: a senior US-led engineering pod stabilizes inter-warehouse transfers, reorder rules and valuation, repairs retailer EDI (850/856/810) mappings and automates 3PL receipt sync — on one flat monthly fee, with the next EDI change handled as a normal request.
The problem
Cycle counts do not match on-hand, on-hand does not match the 3PL, and valuation does not match the books. So buyers over-order and sales over-promise.
New DC codes, a changed 856 spec, a chargeback for a late ASN. Your agency quotes three weeks and $6,000 to fix one mapping.
Someone reconciles the WMS export against Odoo every Monday. The adjustments are the biggest line in your inventory variance.
Set once at go-live, ignored since. Stockouts on A-items, pallets of C-items, and purchasing driving by feel.
Chargebacks, expedited freight, dead stock and manual reconciliation quietly cost mid-market distributors six figures a year. This is the fix.

How the first 30 days work
You grant Git and staging access; we open a shared Slack channel and your kanban portal. No 40‑page BRD, no discovery retainer.
We review warehouses, routes, removal strategies, reorder rules, valuation settings, EDI and 3PL touchpoints. You get a ranked, sized roadmap with a fix order — not a slide deck.
24-hour small and 3-day medium sprints on the accuracy and integration gaps costing you chargebacks and expedited freight today. Every delivery lands in staging first, with a Loom walkthrough.
Roll into Autopilot (monitoring, patching, annual upgrade, unlimited queue) or keep running sprints. Either way the code and docs are already yours.
Triple-Layer Risk Reversal
Three written guarantees, stacked. If we do not perform, the cost lands on us — not on your budget line.
Transparent pricing
Every tier includes 24-hour small requests, 3-day medium, 7–30 day large, a 1-hour PT response SLA and 24/7 PagerDuty. Only the user count and concurrency change.
