Multi-Warehouse & Logistics Automation in Odoo

1. Project Overview

2. Business Challenge

Managing fulfillment across 5 central warehouses and 12 regional transit hubs resulted in stockouts, delayed dispatch times, and manual shipping label entry errors.

3. Existing Environment

• Legacy WMS software lacking multi-company inter-warehouse transfers.
• Paper-based warehouse picking slips causing mis-picks.
• Manual entry into shipping carrier portals for tracking numbers.

4. Key Requirements

• Hands-free barcode scanner workflow for batch picking and packing validation.
• Direct API integration with FedEx, DHL, and local freight providers for instant label generation.

5. Odoo Architecture & Core Modules

Architected multi-location stock replenishment rules (Push/Pull) with automated cross-docking operations.

6. Custom Development

• Custom dimensional weight verification module preventing shipping fee surcharges.
• Automated container load optimization algorithm calculating pallet volume limits.

7. Third-Party Integrations

• REST API sync with FedEx & DHL for auto-manifest creation.
