Beer, a Belgian culture

When implementing Odoo in breweries founded in 1784 and 1873, one quickly learns that tradition has its own rules.
Since 2016, the culture of beer in Belgium has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO. At Nalios, we support historic Belgian breweries in their transition to Odoo, with everything the profession entails: excise duties, bonded stock, deposits, sales through wholesalers, and EDI with large distribution. Our American team is now bringing this experience to breweries in the United States.

What a brewing ERP must master


  • Recipes and bills of materials by beer and by format
  • Lots generated automatically with each brew
  • Minimum shelf life dates tracked to the customer
  • Excise duties calculated automatically
  • Tax stock under suspension of duties
  • Tax stock under suspension of duties
  • Deposits, barrels and drainings
  • Sales via wholesalers and distributors
  • EDI with large distribution
Client case

Brasserie St-Feuillien : excises under control

Founded in 1873 in Rœulx and run by the fifth generation of the Friart family, Brasserie St-Feuillien produces abbey beers and signature creations like Grand Cru and Saison, exported as far as the United States.

Excises, tax stock and e-AD
Excise duties are calculated automatically on each sale, and the stock under suspension of duties is tracked separately. The e-ADs are generated from a delivery note or an invoice, with automatic retrieval of the official reference number.
EDI with large distribution
Orders and invoices are exchanged automatically with the distribution chains, without re-entry.
Automated drainings

Returns of drainings automatically generate the corresponding credit notes. One repetitive task less for the accounting team.
