ReportingWhat Logistics businesses need from an ERP
Manage the complex flow of goods, fleets, and warehouses effectively using Odoo.
Common challenges we solve
No live view of shipment status
Customers call to ask where their goods are, and the answer depends on phone calls to drivers or warehouse staff. Status sits in messages, not in a system.
Inefficient warehouse handling
Goods are received and stored without defined locations or putaway rules. Pickers spend time searching for stock.
Vehicle costs hard to track
Fuel, servicing, tyres and registration renewals are recorded in separate logs. The real cost per vehicle is unclear.
Missed renewals and contracts
Vehicle insurance, fitness and lease contracts expire without notice. Vehicles may be off the road unexpectedly.
Billing lags behind service
Invoices are prepared days after delivery from paper delivery notes. Disputes rise when proof of delivery cannot be found.
Disconnected customer accounts
Customer agreements, rates and history are spread across email and spreadsheets. Account managers cannot see the full relationship.
Odoo apps we implement for Logistics
Each app is configured around your processes and connected to the rest of the system, so data entered once is available everywhere.
Inventory & Warehouse Management
Inventory manages multiple warehouses, locations and storage categories with putaway rules. Multi-step routes cover receiving, storage, picking and cross-docking.
- Putaway rules and storage categories
- Multi-step and cross-dock routes
- Packages and package tracking
Delivery Management
Deliveries are planned as transfers that can be grouped into batch or wave pickings. Shipping methods and carrier connectors can calculate charges and print labels where supported.
- Batch and wave transfers
- Shipping methods and carrier connectors
- Delivery status and backorders
Sales
Sales records customer orders and service quotations with agreed rates. Confirmed orders trigger the warehouse and delivery operations.
- Quotations with customer-specific rates
- Service and product order lines
- Order-to-delivery tracking
Purchase
Purchase handles supplies, spare parts and subcontracted transport services. Vendor bills are checked against what was ordered and received.
- Purchase orders for parts and services
- Vendor bills matched to orders
- Landed costs on imported goods
Fleet
Fleet keeps a record of each vehicle with its driver, contracts, services and odometer readings. Costs are logged per vehicle for analysis.
- Vehicle register with assigned drivers
- Contract and renewal reminders
- Service, fuel and odometer logs
Accounting
Accounting invoices customers from delivered orders and records vendor bills for fuel, parts and subcontractors. Analytic accounts can track cost and revenue by vehicle, route or branch.
- Invoicing from delivered orders
- Analytic accounting by route or vehicle
- Receivables and payables tracking
Customer Management
CRM keeps customer contacts, agreements and opportunities in one place. Account managers see orders, deliveries and invoices from the customer record.
- Customer profiles with full history
- Opportunity pipeline for new contracts
- Activity and follow-up scheduling
Reporting
Dashboards combine warehouse, delivery, fleet and financial data. Managers can review throughput, vehicle costs and revenue by customer.
- Warehouse throughput reports
- Vehicle cost analysis
- Revenue and margin by customer
From inbound receipt to delivered and billed
How a typical logistics process runs inside Odoo once everything is connected.
Booking
Sales records the customer order or service request with agreed rates.
Receiving and putaway
Inventory receives goods and putaway rules direct them to the right location.
Picking and loading
Inventory groups orders into batch transfers and assigns them to a vehicle from Fleet.
Delivery
The delivery order is validated on completion, with status visible to the office team.
Billing
Accounting creates the customer invoice from the delivered order.
Cost review
Fleet and analytic accounting show the cost of vehicles and routes against revenue.
Typical projects
Warehouse layout and routes setup
Zencore models your warehouses, zones and locations in Odoo and configures putaway rules and pick-pack-ship routes.
Fleet register and cost tracking
We set up vehicles, drivers, contracts and service logs, and link vehicle costs to analytic accounts for reporting.
Carrier and tracking integration
Zencore can integrate courier or GPS tracking systems through their APIs so shipment references and status are stored on delivery orders.
Custom logistics billing
Where billing depends on storage days, pallets or trips, Zencore scopes and builds the required billing logic on top of standard Odoo.
What changes with Odoo
Better shipment visibility
Delivery status is recorded in the system, so office staff can answer customer queries without chasing drivers.
Centralized warehouse operations
All warehouses follow the same locations, routes and rules within one database.
Improved delivery tracking
Each delivery order keeps its status, timestamps and references for later review.
Better inventory control
Putaway rules and location tracking reduce misplaced stock and search time.
Connected financial operations
Invoices and costs come from the same orders and vehicles that operations already recorded.
Clearer fleet costs
Fuel, service and contract costs are logged per vehicle, making cost comparisons straightforward.
