Streamlining veterinary pharmaceutical distribution with integrated CRM, inventory management, batch and expiry tracking, FEFO inventory control, and multi-company operations.

Project Highlights

Company Overview

Al Sarih Veterinary Trading is one of Iraq's leading distributors of veterinary medicines and animal healthcare products, supplying vaccines, vitamins, nutritional supplements, feed additives, and veterinary pharmaceutical products across the Iraqi market.

Operating through three companies, the organization serves veterinary clinics, distributors, agricultural businesses, and livestock producers, where product quality, expiry control, and timely product availability are critical to customer success.

To support its continued expansion, Add Al Sarih partnered with ALLE TECH to implement Odoo Enterprise, replacing manual processes with a fully integrated digital business platform.

Business Challenges

As the business grew, manual operations made it increasingly difficult to maintain operational efficiency, inventory accuracy, and customer service.

Manual Sales Operations

Sales activities were managed through disconnected spreadsheets and manual communication, making it difficult to monitor opportunities, customer interactions, quotations, and order progress.

Management lacked visibility into sales performance and pipeline activities.

Limited Customer Relationship Management

Without a centralized CRM, customer information, sales opportunities, and follow-up activities were scattered across different channels.

This limited collaboration between sales teams and reduced visibility into the customer journey.

Inventory Accuracy

Managing thousands of pharmaceutical and veterinary products required precise inventory control.

The business needed complete visibility into:

  • Available stock

  • Warehouse balances

  • Batch availability

  • Product expiry dates

  • Incoming inventory

  • Reserved quantities

Manual inventory management increased the risk of stock discrepancies and operational delays.

Batch & Expiry Management

Veterinary medicines require strict traceability throughout the supply chain.

The company required complete control over:

  • Batch numbers

  • Lot traceability

  • Manufacturing dates

  • Expiry dates

  • Product movement history

Without an integrated system, tracking these details was time-consuming and vulnerable to errors.

FEFO Inventory Rotation

Because many products have limited shelf lives, inventory had to be issued according to the First Expired, First Out (FEFO) principle.

The previous process relied heavily on manual warehouse decisions, increasing the risk of product expiry and unnecessary inventory losses.

Multi-Company Operations

Operating three companies required consistent processes, standardized inventory control, and consolidated business visibility across the organization.

Our Solution

ALLE TECH implemented Odoo Enterprise to digitize the company's commercial and operational processes.

The solution integrated sales, CRM, procurement, inventory, finance, and warehouse operations into a single platform, providing complete visibility across all three companies.

The implementation included:

  • CRM

  • Sales Management

  • Purchasing

  • Inventory Management

  • Warehouse Management

  • Batch & Lot Tracking

  • Expiry Date Management

  • FEFO Inventory Control

  • Multi-Company Management

  • Customer Management

  • Financial Management

  • Executive Reporting

Business Transformation

Centralized CRM

Odoo provided a modern CRM platform that allows sales teams to manage leads, customer relationships, quotations, and sales opportunities from a single system.

Management now has complete visibility into the sales pipeline, customer activities, and team performance.

Automated Sales Process

The entire sales cycle—from customer inquiry to quotation, sales order, delivery, and invoicing—is now managed within Odoo.

This eliminated duplicate data entry, reduced administrative effort, and improved customer response times.

Intelligent Inventory Management

Inventory is now managed in real time across all warehouses and companies.

Teams can instantly monitor stock availability, warehouse balances, incoming shipments, and inventory movements, significantly improving operational efficiency.

Complete Batch & Lot Traceability

Odoo enables full traceability of every veterinary product through batch and lot management.

Every inventory movement is recorded, providing complete visibility from product receipt through warehouse storage and customer delivery.

This improves product safety, compliance, and inventory accuracy.

Expiry Date Management & FEFO

To protect product quality and reduce waste, ALLE TECH configured Odoo to manage products using the First Expired, First Out (FEFO) methodology.

Warehouse teams are guided to dispatch products with the earliest expiry dates first, helping the company:

  • Minimize expired inventory

  • Improve stock rotation

  • Reduce product losses

  • Maintain product quality

  • Increase customer confidence

Multi-Company Operations

Odoo provides centralized management across all three companies while maintaining independent financial records and operational control for each legal entity.

Management now benefits from standardized business processes and improved visibility across the entire organization.

Following the implementation of Odoo Enterprise, Add Al Sarih Veterinary Trading successfully transformed its operations into a modern, fully integrated digital business.

The project delivered significant operational improvements, including:

  • Fully digitized CRM and sales operations

  • Centralized customer relationship management

  • Faster quotation and order processing

  • Improved inventory accuracy

  • Complete batch and lot traceability

  • Automated expiry date management

  • FEFO-based warehouse operations

  • Reduced inventory losses caused by expired products

  • Better stock visibility across three companies

  • Improved warehouse efficiency

  • Enhanced customer service

  • Increased operational productivity

  • Scalable ERP platform supporting future business growth

Why ALLE TECH

Distributing veterinary pharmaceuticals requires much more than inventory management. It demands precise batch traceability, strict expiry control, intelligent warehouse operations, and efficient sales processes to ensure products reach customers safely and on time.

By implementing Odoo Enterprise, ALLE TECH helped Add Al Sarih Veterinary Trading replace fragmented manual operations with a fully integrated digital platform connecting CRM, sales, purchasing, inventory, finance, and warehouse management.

Today, the company operates with complete visibility across its three companies, benefiting from automated workflows, FEFO-driven inventory management, real-time stock control, and stronger customer relationships—enabling faster growth while maintaining the highest standards of operational excellence.
