Odoo, shaped around how food and beverage runs.

Yes. Odoo is well suited to the food and beverage industry because it puts production, traceability, quality, and finance on one platform. Recipe-based BOMs, lot tracking, shelf-life management, and HACCP-style quality checks are standard. Dynapps has run 50+ food and beverage implementations across Belgium, the Netherlands, France, and Switzerland.

Odoo manages food production through recipe-based bills of materials, multi-level BOMs for semi-finished products, and routings across mixing, cooking, and packaging work centers. Each manufacturing order tracks consumption, yield, and lot numbers in real time. Recipes can be scaled by batch size or finished-product weight, with by-products and co-products handled inside the same order.

Yes. Odoo supports lot and serial-number traceability end-to-end, with forward and backward genealogy from raw material to finished pallet. Best-before, use-by, and removal dates trigger FEFO stock allocation automatically. Recall queries return affected batches, customers, and quantities in minutes rather than hours.

Yes. Odoo supports HACCP-aligned quality controls through configurable quality points at receipt, in-process, and finished-goods stages. Critical control points trigger checks tied to manufacturing orders, with results stored against the batch. The same data feeds IFS Food, BRCGS, and FSSC 22000 audits without a separate quality system.

Odoo records lot and serial numbers at every movement: goods receipt, internal transfer, production consumption, finished-goods packing, and customer delivery. Batch genealogy works in both directions. The system traces forward from a single raw-material lot to every finished pallet, customer, and delivery date, and backward from a customer complaint to the supplier lot and every batch produced with it. A mock recall query that took half a day on legacy systems can return in minutes, depending on the quality of the underlying master data. The traceability data structure also feeds the quality module: HACCP critical control points, IFS Food and BRCGS audit evidence, and FSSC 22000 documentation all draw from the same lot records, so there is one source of truth and not two. Dynapps stays an Odoo implementation partner. Audit readiness is shaped into the implementation from day one, not bolted on afterwards.

Odoo manages shelf life through lot-level expiration data: production date, best-before date, use-by date, and removal date. Stock locations can be configured for ambient, chilled, and frozen storage, with picking strategies enforced per warehouse: FEFO (first-expired, first-out) is standard for food and beverage rather than FIFO. The system blocks dispatch of stock past its removal date and warns when remaining shelf life falls under a customer-specific threshold, which matters for retailers with contractual minimum-shelf-life requirements like 60% or 75% remaining. For short-shelf-life SKUs (fresh produce, dairy, chilled prepared foods) the daily picking list is recalculated against actual expiration data, not approximate FIFO. Dynapps brings the implementation discipline that decides whether this holds: master data for shelf-life rules per SKU, per customer, and per channel is set up before go-live, not after a complaint.
