Retail and e-commerce
A supermarket carries thousands of items across grocery, dairy, produce and FMCG, many of them perishable and some barely staying on the shelf a day.
Why It Matters
A supermarket's stock problem is really several problems at once: long shelf-life FMCG, perishable dairy and produce, and fast-moving items that sell out before a weekly count catches it.
Most supermarkets already run an ERP and checkout system, the gap is getting sales data from every checkout lane into that ERP without a manual end-of-day reconciliation.
What It Covers
Grocery, dairy, produce and FMCG are tracked as separate categories with their own stock levels and reorder logic, so a fast-moving dairy item and a slow-moving FMCG item are not managed the same way.
Batches are tracked with their expiry dates so near-date stock is flagged for markdown or priority sale before it becomes wastage, and wastage or shrinkage is tracked by category so the cause is visible.
Sales from every checkout lane sync to your ERP without manual reconciliation, and each stock line stays connected to the vendor or local supplier it came from, down to the batch.
What's Included
Stock tracked separately by category like grocery, dairy, produce and FMCG, instead of one flat inventory count.
Reorder points calculated from actual sell-through so fast-moving items do not run out between counts.
Sales from every checkout lane synced to your ERP without manual end-of-day entry.
See where stock is being lost to expiry, damage or shrinkage, by category and by store.
How It Works
Step 1
Map how stock, expiry and checkout data move through your categories today.
Step 2
Agree which categories, systems and automation the engagement covers, with a fixed timeline.
Step 3
Build the ERP connections, category tracking and reorder automation, tested against your sales data.
Step 4
Roll out by category or store-wide, watched closely in the first weeks.
Step 5
The same team stays available as your product range and suppliers change.
The tills ran on their own software, cut off from the back office. Staff reconciled by hand every night. Odoo joined the counter to inventory and accounting, so the day closes in one step.

We connect your existing ERP and checkout systems, build the custom software your category-level stock and expiry tracking needs, and add AI automation for reorder decisions on fast-moving items, so stock is visible by category rather than as one flat count.
No. The system connects to your existing ERP and checkout systems rather than replacing them, so checkout lanes keep working as they do today while stock data flows into one place.
Yes. Perishable and fast-moving categories are tracked with expiry and sell-through in mind, while long shelf-life FMCG stock is tracked on a slower reorder cycle, so neither is forced onto the same rule.
Most engagements move from mapping your current category and checkout workflow to a working pilot within a few months, with scope and timeline confirmed after we review your product range and systems.
The same team that built the system stays available for support and changes as your product range, supplier list or store count grows.
Yes. Most supermarket engagements combine ERP or checkout integration, a piece of custom software for category-specific tracking, and AI automation for reorder decisions, scoped as one project.
