Maphar — regulatory traceability and accelerated cash

High-volume pharmaceutical distribution: batch and expiry management (FEFO), regulatory compliance, and an invoicing cycle that weighs directly on cash flow.

Context & challenge

A pharmaceutical distributor faces three pressures at once: regulatory compliance (batch traceability, expiry dates, FEFO), high order volumes, and a cash requirement that makes every day of invoicing delay expensive. Order accuracy and invoicing speed therefore become the two critical levers. The ERP unifies stock, sales and accounting to secure compliance while shortening the order-to-cash cycle.

Odoo scope deployed

  • Inventory — batches, expiry dates, FEFO
  • Sales & pricing by channel
  • Accounting — invoicing & collections
  • EDI / partner integrations
  • Regulatory reporting

Approach: Structured roll-out, controlled data migration, team training.
