Odoo as ERP for the sauce manufacturers​

Recipes, weights, batches, allergens, expiration dates, and EDI with large distribution, all combined in a single system. Implemented by a Belgian Odoo Gold Partner, with sauce and mustard manufacturers for several generations.

Belgium, land of the sauce

Mayonnaise, Andalouse, Samurai, Namur mustard: in Belgium, sauce is not a side dish, it's an institution.
Belgian sauce manufacturers produce for large distribution, catering, and export, with very strict requirements on allergens, traceability, and expiration dates. At Nalios, we implement Odoo for several of them, from family businesses founded in the 1950s and 1960s to multi-brand groups. Our American team is now bringing this experience to sauce and condiment manufacturers in the United States.

What makes sauce production so demanding​

A poorly weighed recipe, a forgotten allergen, or a too-short date, and an entire delivery is rejected.

01
Allergens to manage for each recipe
02
A minimum shelf life required by each client
03
Precise weights and monitoring in the tank
04
Lots to trace for each product recall
05
Brands that impose EDI
06
Several brands and private label to manage

The Odoo standard first. We configure before developing, so your system remains easy to update.

Proven in food. Our generic EDI connector and our expiration date management tools are already in use by sauce manufacturers.

Three Belgian manufacturers, three ways to structure Odoo

Customer case

Colona: a production managed from the workshop

At Colona, every production goes through Odoo, from weighing the ingredients to the label on the pallet.

Weighing and tank sheets
The workshop scales are integrated with Odoo. The weighed quantities are recorded directly in the production order, and each tank has its tracking sheet.
Fine batch management
Productions launched on the same day share the same batch, the numbering is sequential, and even individual pods have their own batches and dates.
Automated labeling
Labels and SSCC codes are automatically printed from the workshop on production printers, and GS1 barcodes are scanned at each movement.
Customer case

CMB: large distribution, without re-entry

For the Belgian Canning and Mustard Factory, each retailer has its own requirements. Odoo applies them automatically.

EDI with multiple retailers
Orders, shipping notices, and invoices are exchanged automatically with Colruyt, Lidl, Carrefour, and Biocoop, each with its own formats.
Minimum shelf life per customer
Each customer can require a minimum number of days before the expiration date. Odoo takes this into account during preparation and blocks the consumption of expired batches in production.
Dynamic allergens
Allergens are calculated from the recipe composition and automatically included on the sheets and labels.
