Odoo Implementation Case Study: North Natural Pvt. Limited

Introduction

North Natural Pvt. Limited (NNPL), a leading producer of cosmetic items such as serums and Omega-7 capsules, needed a robust ERP solution to manage its complex production, procurement, and distribution workflows. With raw material extraction in Chitral, toll manufacturing in Lahore, and a growing e-commerce presence, the company required a system that could unify operations across Accounting, Purchase, Manufacturing, Inventory, HR, and digital sales.

We implemented Odoo as a comprehensive solution, integrating multiple modules to automate processes, ensure compliance, and provide real-time visibility across the entire business.

Accounting & Financial Management

We deployed Odoo’s Accounting module to streamline NNPL’s financial operations:

  • Customer Invoices: Automated invoice generation for sales orders, ensuring accuracy and timely billing.

  • Vendor Bills: Linked vendor bills directly to purchase orders and receipts, reducing manual work.

  • Financial Reporting: Developed customized reports to provide management with insights into receivables, payables, and profitability.

This ensured NNPL’s accounting was fully integrated with procurement and manufacturing, delivering real-time financial accuracy.

Procurement & Toll Manufacturing

NNPL’s production process required a sophisticated subcontracting workflow. Raw oil extracted in Chitral was sent to Lahore, where toll manufacturers processed and packaged it into finished cosmetic products.

We implemented Odoo’s Purchase and Manufacturing modules with subcontracting features:

  • Purchase Orders: Automated requisition and purchase order creation for raw materials and subcontracting services.

  • Subcontracting Workflow: Configured Odoo’s subcontracting feature to manage toll manufacturing, tracking transfers, processing, and returns.

  • Inventory Integration: Linked manufacturing with Odoo’s Inventory module to ensure accurate stock updates at each stage.

This setup provided end-to-end visibility into NNPL’s production cycle, eliminating manual tracking.

Inventory Management

Inventory management was critical given NNPL’s multi-location operations:

  • Real-Time Updates: Odoo’s Inventory module provided visibility into stock levels across Chitral, Lahore, and toll manufacturers.

  • Internal Transfers: Configured workflows to track movement of raw oil, semi-finished goods, and final products.

  • Costing & Valuation: Enabled FIFO/AVCO methods for accurate costing and valuation.

This ensured transparency in stock movements and reduced wastage.

Shopify Integration

To unify digital sales with backend operations, we integrated NNPL’s Shopify app with Odoo:

  • Real-Time Synchronization: Orders placed on Shopify synced automatically with Odoo.

  • Unified Dashboard: Management could monitor online sales, stock, and financials in one place.

  • Customer Experience: Improved order accuracy and fulfillment speed.

This integration bridged NNPL’s manufacturing operations with its e-commerce channel.

HR & Workforce Management

Beyond production and finance, NNPL needed to digitize HR processes. We implemented Odoo’s HR modules:

  • Employees Module: Centralized employee records, contracts, and organizational structures.

  • Payroll Module: Automated salary structures, allowances, and deductions, ensuring compliance and accuracy.

  • Attendance & Time Off: Integrated bio-metric devices for attendance tracking and digitized leave requests with manager approvals.

This automation reduced administrative overhead, improved workforce transparency, and ensured accurate payroll processing. 

Point of Sale (POS) & Barcode Integration

To strengthen retail and distribution operations, we implemented Odoo’s POS module:

  • Real-Time Sales: POS integrated with inventory and accounting, ensuring instant updates on stock and financial records.

  • Bar-code Integration: Configured bar-code scanners for quick product identification and faster checkout.

  • Unified Reporting: POS data linked with accounting and inventory for consolidated sales insights.

This allowed NNPL to manage retail sales seamlessly, reduce errors, and improve customer service efficiency.

Outcomes & Benefits

The Odoo implementation delivered transformative results for NNPL:

  • Accounting Integration: Automated invoices, vendor bills, and financial reporting.

  • Procurement Efficiency: Streamlined P2P workflows and subcontracting management.

  • Manufacturing Transparency: End-to-end visibility of toll manufacturing processes.

  • Inventory Control: Real-time stock updates and accurate costing.

  • Digital Sales Integration: Shopify connected with Odoo for unified monitoring.

  • HR Automation: Payroll, attendance, and employee management digitized for efficiency.

The solution provided real-time visibility into production, procurement, HR, and sales, while ensuring financial accuracy and compliance.
