BREAD AND DOUGH ALIBINISIS S.A.

Alibinisis is a Greek company specializing in the production and distribution of bread and pastry products. Located in Chalkida, Evia, they are dedicated to preserving authentic recipes and using high-quality ingredients to offer premium products for retail and food service. With a strong commitment to Greece's culinary heritage, Alibinisis strives to deliver exceptional products while meeting the demands of both local and international markets.

Before implementing Odoo, Alibinisis faced challenges in efficiently managing inventory, sales orders, and warehouse operations across two separate facilities. The warehouses are divided by storage type, with one for deep-freeze storage at -18°C and the other for dry storage. Their existing systems relied heavily on manual processes, leading to delays, frequent errors, and miscommunications. Additionally, managing raw materials and packaging supplies for their manufacturing area was complex, especially given the need to track GS1 barcodes, lot numbers, and expiration dates to comply with food industry standards.

Dileanity implemented Odoo to centralize and streamline Alibinisis’s operations. The project involved setting up Inventory, Barcode, Purchase and Sales modules, ensuring seamless management across both warehouses. We organized the warehouses with clear signage (shelf, level, and aisle labels) and applied barcodes to products, boxes, and pallets to improve tracking accuracy. High-end PDAs capable of operating in temperatures as low as -30°C were introduced to optimize order fulfillment in the cold storage areas. Automated put-away rules and workflows were configured to enhance operational efficiency. Odoo also manages raw materials and packaging supplies, which feed directly into the manufacturing area, and supports GS1 barcodes, lot numbers, and expiration dates. To achieve a fully integrated system, we connected Odoo with their existing ERP system for real-time data transfer, eliminating the need for manual data entry. Additionally, we integrated Odoo with an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) system that operates in their automated warehouse, further optimizing fulfillment processes.

The Odoo implementation provided Alibinisis with substantial improvements, including:

• Complete automation of data flow: Real-time data transfer between Odoo and the ERP system eliminated manual data entry, ensuring data accuracy and reducing administrative burden.
• Improved warehouse organization: Streamlined processes with clearly labeled storage areas and optimized product handling across both cold and dry storage facilities.
• Enhanced inventory accuracy: Comprehensive tracking of GS1 barcodes, lot numbers, and expiration dates improved stock visibility and compliance with food industry standards.
• Efficient order fulfillment: High-end PDAs and AGV integration enabled fast, error-free picking and packing, even in challenging cold storage conditions.
• Optimized resource allocation: Automated put-away rules and smart workflows minimized travel time within the warehouse, reducing fulfillment times and increasing productivity.
• Higher customer satisfaction: Faster and more reliable order processing led to improved response times and a more consistent customer experience.
