The challenge

Cash on delivery, and money held by couriers

Versus sells online and ships cash-on-delivery parcels through couriers. Every delivered parcel means money the courier has to pay over, and every return has to come back into stock.

The hardest part was courier payments: knowing which delivered parcels had been paid for, and which returns had come back.

Algronic imports nutraceutical raw powders for B2B customers and needed stock that didn't run short.

What we set up

Every parcel accounted for, and stock that doesn't run short

Shopify, PostEx and Leopards integrated with Odoo

Every parcel is tracked and no money is lost.

  • Orders in: online orders flow in from Shopify
  • Parcels booked with the courier
  • Tracking, COD payments and returns come back into Odoo, so Versus sees which delivered parcels each courier hasn't paid for, and which returns haven't come back

Optimised inventory

Algronic went from a broken supply chain to demand and forecasting under control, with stock shortages cut to an absolute minimum.

Material timelines for sales

The sales team sees when each imported material will be available, so they can give customers clear delivery dates.

Third-party manufacturing

Versus's third-party manufacturing is planned in Odoo Manufacturing, from materials to each production stage, so shortages are seen early.

Sales visits on the map

Field Service records each salesperson's visits with live location, and shows the manager any planned visit that was missed.

What changed

No more guessing which courier owes what

Before

Chasing parcels and shortages

No clear view of which delivered parcels had been paid for or which returns had come back, and a broken supply chain at Algronic.

Now

Every parcel and material on record

Versus knows exactly which parcels each courier still owes and which returns are outstanding. Algronic's shortages are down to an absolute minimum, its sales team quotes from real material timelines, and every sales visit is on record.
