Belgian roots, cheese know-how

We learned food ERP in a country where cheese, beer, and waffles are serious business.
Belgium has a long tradition of farmhouse and abbey cheeses, and a demanding food industry built around them. At Nalios, we have implemented Odoo for food producers and distributors across Belgium and Europe, solving the same problems again and again: shelf life, lot traceability, retailer integrations. Our US team now brings that experience to American cheese makers, with local support in your time zone. 

What makes cheese different​

A generic ERP wasn't built for a product that changes every day it sits on a shelf.

01
Raw materials that vary from batch to batch
02
Aging cycles measured in weeks or months
03
Catch weight: sold by the piece, invoiced by the pound
04
Short shelf lives and strict FEFO picking
05
Preparation for product recalls and FSMA 204 traceability
06
Retailers and distributors who require EDI

Standard Odoo first. We configure before we customize, so your system stays easy to upgrade.

Proven in food. Our generic EDI connector and shelf-life tooling already run at food companies today.

How cheesemakers structure Odoo

One continuous flow, from receiving to the retail shelf
01
Receive & qualify
Every input gets a lot
Milk, cream, cultures or nuts are received with a lot number, supplier and date. Quality checks at reception stop non-compliant batches before they reach production.
Lots Quality Suppliers
02
Make & age
Your aging rooms, modeled as locations
Manufacturing orders consume ingredient lots and create new cheese lots. Each aging room is a stock location, so you always know what is ripening where, since when, and when it will be ready.
Manufacturing Aging Yield
03
Pack & ship
Right lot, right customer, right date
Variable-weight labeling, FEFO picking and GS1 barcodes keep the warehouse accurate. Orders and ship notices flow to retailers through EDI, and every lot stays traceable to the customers who received it.

Traceability and compliance

Expiry dates and EDI, handled where it matters

Expiry date management
Best-before, use-by, removal and alert dates are computed per lot from each product's shelf life. Stock nearing expiry is flagged before it turns into a write-off.
Lot traceability in a few clicks
Trace any lot backward to its ingredients and forward to every customer who received it. These are the linked records the FDA expects under FSMA 204: soft, semi-soft and fresh cheeses are on the Food Traceability List, with compliance required by July 2028.
Our generic EDI connector
Built and refined across several food projects, our EDI connector module exchanges orders, ship notices and invoices with your retailers and distributors, without a custom integration for every trading partner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, natively. Each lot carries its own best-before, removal and alert dates, calculated automatically from the product's shelf life.

Yes. FEFO (First Expired, First Out) is a standard removal strategy in Odoo Inventory: the warehouse is always guided to pick the lot that expires first.

Aging rooms are set up as stock locations, and lots move through them as they mature. Depending on your process, aging duration and turning or brushing steps can be planned as part of manufacturing.

Odoo handles multiple units of measure, so you can sell by the piece and invoice by actual weight. For true catch-weight flows, we assess during scoping whether configuration is enough or a dedicated module is needed.

Yes. Our generic EDI connector exchanges orders, ship notices and invoices with your trading partners directly from Odoo.

Odoo gives you the traceability backbone: lot codes, linked receiving, production and shipping records, all retrievable fast. Compliance also depends on your processes, and we help you map them to the rule's requirements.

Yes. The same traceability, aging and shelf-life logic applies whether your base is milk or nuts.
