Odoo 19 logistics, inventory, manufacturing, and shop floor: the supply chain enters a new era

With Odoo 19, logistics goes far beyond simply recording stock movements. It becomes an intelligent, connected, and data-driven system. Every scan, every transfer, and every manufacturing order fits into a unified logic: reducing friction, securing flows, and giving teams instant operational visibility. From barcode management on the shop floor to inventory control and manufacturing operations, Odoo 19 turns the supply chain into a measurable performance driver—fewer errors, stronger anticipation, and faster decision-making.

Odoo 19 Barcode: real-time operational accuracy

Edit lots and serial numbers directly on the shop floor

The Barcode app becomes a true mobile control tool. Operators can now view and update lot and serial number details directly from the scanner, without having to return to a fixed workstation. The result:

  • Less manual re-entry
  • Stronger logistics traceability
  • Reliable data captured right at the source

Get clear instructions at every step

Enhanced operation descriptions bring a tangible improvement on the shop floor. Whether receiving goods, handling internal transfers, or preparing deliveries, operators get precise, contextual, and immediately actionable instructions. This operational clarity reduces human error and secures flows; especially in high-volume or complex logistics environments.

Benefit from flexible source location management

Manually defining and updating a product’s source location provides a high level of flexibility. Teams can quickly adapt logistics routes to real-world constraints without disrupting existing processes. Barcode scanning no longer just tracks movements; it actively guides execution.

Odoo 19 Inventory: anticipate instead of fixing issues

Identify expired products before they become costly

Version 19 introduces a predictive report for expired products. Items approaching or past their expiration date are automatically identified and excluded from available and forecasted quantities once they are no longer usable. This preventive approach helps you:

  • Secure inventory levels
  • Reduce waste and losses
  • Deliver more reliable customer commitments

Benefit from smoother, more reliable inventory valuation

Inventory valuation has been streamlined thanks to:

  • A new closing interface
  • Support for backdated transfers
  • Clearer, more consistent calculations

Finance and logistics teams gain peace of mind while maintaining an accurate view of actual performance.

Leverage truly smart reordering rules

Reordering rules take a major step forward in this version. They now include:

  • A configurable planning horizon (365 days by default)
  • A cut-off order date
  • Insights based on past demand, average stock, and minimum/maximum thresholds

Quantities are calculated according to the supplier unit or bill of materials, with the option to exceed the maximum to prevent shortages caused by rounding. Inventory becomes predictive and aligned with actual demand.

Odoo 19 Manufacturing: standardization driving performance

Secure your manufacturing orders with consistent default bill of materials

The default lot size in bills of materials automatically pre-fills the quantity on each manufacturing order based on defined parameters. This simple feature makes a big difference:

  • Fewer data entry errors
  • Standardized processes
  • Smoother, more consistent production

Manufacturing becomes more precise without adding complexity to operations.

Odoo 19 Shop Floor: an interface designed for the field

Make daily shop floor work easier with a clearer, more intuitive interface

The Shop Floor app has been completely redesigned: modernized interface, smoother navigation, and better-organized information—all contributing to a significantly improved user experience. Operators know exactly what to do, when to do it, and what to prioritize. Supervisors gain enhanced visibility into progress and bottlenecks. A clearer shop floor means tighter schedules and more reliable production.

Odoo 19: a supply chain you control, not endure

This version goes beyond simply adding more logistics features. It delivers a unified view of the supply chain, where every action—from barcode scans to manufacturing orders—feeds into a coherent, measurable management system. Logistics, inventory, manufacturing, and the shop floor finally work together on a single, reliable database.

Inventory and production management shift from reactive to intelligent. Anticipation, automation, clarity, and traceability become the new standards.

For logistics, manufacturing, and supply chain managers, Odoo 19 stands out as an ERP that turns operational complexity into a lasting competitive advantage.

Aircraft maintenance: Ensuring compliance, traceability, and safety without adding operational complexity
In the aerospace industry, maintenance is the cornerstone of safety and regulatory compliance. With frequent audits, stringent regulatory requirements, and constant operational pressure, teams often have to manage complex processes and fragmented data. The challenge is clear: ensuring full traceability and equipment reliability without adding day-to-day operational burden.
