Retail, F&B and FMCG
POS, Inventory and Multi-Outlet ERP
Where the counter, the warehouse and the accounts have to agree with each other every single day.
What usually goes wrong
The failures we see again and again in retail, f&b and fmcg.
Negative inventory nobody can explain
Products keep selling while the system shows quantities below zero, because sales deduct stock through a channel that receiving never updates. Purchasing decisions then get made against numbers nobody trusts.
Expiry is a blind spot
Quantity is only half the information. Without visibility of how long stock can still be sold, the commercial options: return, transfer, promote, have already narrowed by the time the problem is visible on the shelf.
Head office finds out at month-end
Branches send daily reports because the systems cannot show head office what happened. The reporting becomes somebody’s job, and the answer is always yesterday’s.
Production planned separately from sales
In food operations the counter knows what sold and production guesses what to make. A slow-moving fixture can wait in inventory; tomorrow’s bread cannot.
What we implement
Mapped to the four pillars.

Retail, F&B and FMCG questions
Which POS works best for a UAE supermarket?
Odoo, in most cases we have seen, because its point of sale is genuinely connected to inventory, purchasing and accounts rather than integrated afterwards. The deciding factor is usually branch count and whether manufacturing is involved.
Can our POS talk to our accounting system?
That is the most common reason retail clients come to us. Real-time stock, sales and purchasing flowing into accounts, so head office sees what a branch sold while it is still selling it.
Does any of this describe your retail, f&b and fmcg operation?
Tell us which part, and we will tell you whether it is worth fixing now or later.
