How Odoo Is Transforming Supermarkets in Uzbekistan: A Real Case Study
If you run a supermarket or grocery store in Uzbekistan, and you want transparency, control, and growth — Odoo is the sy...
When a fast-growing logistics group running 250 trucks and 250,000 m² of warehouses struggled with disconnected systems and manual Excel reporting, Odoo became the digital backbone. Here’s how they gained real-time asset visibility and cut reporting time by 70%.
LSC Logistics (name changed for confidentiality) operates in the MENA region with a network of large warehouses, cross-docking hubs and a fleet of more than 250 trucks. For years, each division chose its own software: finance ran on a legacy accounting package, warehouses used a basic WMS, fleet data lived in spreadsheets and GPS portals, and commercial teams tracked contracts in email threads.
On paper the business looked successful, but behind the scenes managers were blind. It could take days to answer simple questions like “Which warehouses are near capacity?” or “How many trucks are idle today?”. Month-end closing depended on exported CSV files and manual adjustments. With expansion plans on the table, leadership realised that this level of fragmentation was a serious risk.
Together with an implementation partner, LSC decided to use Odoo as a single platform across finance, inventory, purchasing and fleet operations. Phase one focused on unifying financial data. All purchase orders, supplier invoices and sales contracts now flow into Odoo’s accounting and reporting engine, giving management a live view of cash-flow, margins and outstanding payables.
Phase two tackled physical operations. Odoo’s Inventory and Purchase modules were deployed in the warehouses, with barcodes and handheld devices to track every pallet in and out. A custom fleet management layer on top of Odoo records preventive maintenance, tyre changes, mileage and fuel, and links each truck to the transport orders it executes. Dispatchers see route assignments, drivers and vehicle status on dashboards instead of juggling phone calls and chat messages.
Finally, automated workflows connected everything. Confirming a customer order now reserves stock, triggers picking tasks in the warehouse, generates a transport job for the fleet and prepares draft invoices for finance. Exceptions are flagged automatically instead of being discovered weeks later in a spreadsheet.
The results surprised even the management team. Reporting time dropped by roughly 70% because executives can generate up-to-date dashboards in seconds. Asset utilisation improved as idle trucks and under-used warehouse space became visible. Most importantly, the company can now scale into new regions and facilities without multiplying software licences and manual admin. For logistics, warehouse and fleet-heavy businesses, this is what a real digital backbone looks like in practice.
