Odoo Van Sales & Distribution – Kerala & UAE
Company Background & Operating Scope
Leading regional distributor of dairy, packaged foods, and beverages managing 45 field delivery vans across Kochi, Thrissur, and Dubai.
FMCG Doorstep Invoicing & Multi-Van Stock Mismatch Challenge
Delivery sales representatives frequently visited suburban retail grocery shops in cellular network dead zones. Hand-written carbon paper billing led to severe inventory discrepancies between main warehouses and vehicle stock, delayed cash deposits by up to 48 hours, and caused daily reconciliation bottlenecks taking 2.5 hours per driver at the depot.
Offline-First Odoo Van Sales App & ESC/POS Thermal Printing Solution
Maifelz engineered a custom offline-first Odoo Van Sales Mobile Application paired with 3-inch ESC/POS Bluetooth thermal printers. The app stores customer pricing tiers, outstanding credit limits, and vehicle inventory in an encrypted local SQLite database, automatically syncing confirmed transactions with the central Odoo ERP server as soon as cellular connectivity returns.
