Case: IKEA​


For the distribution of work clothing to employees, Ikea approached Obycron to set up this logistical flow in Odoo.

 

Sales​

Sales that take place via the Magento webshop are captured and further processed in Odoo.

Purchasing

Purchasing and inventory are linked with the Magento webshop so that placed orders can be handled smoothly and correctly.

Inventory

Odoo provides accurate insights into the inventory of work clothing and assists with its replenishment.

International retail player focused on efficiency


For the distribution of work clothing to employees, IKEA worked with manual processes in Excel and email. Although there was an internal Magento webshop, there was no system to efficiently manage inventory, picking, and replenishment.

The existing Warehouse Management System was too heavy and complex for this specific flow.

Obycron implemented Odoo as an independent logistics backend, integrated with Magento via a custom connector. Orders from the webshop are automatically synchronised to Odoo, where inventory, picking, and delivery are tracked.

The solution uses:

  • barcode scanning

  • inventory alerts

  • automatic replenishment

Quick implementation and international rollout

The initial implementation at IKEA Belgium was completed in less than one month.

Thanks to the use of standard Odoo functionality, the same solution could later be easily rolled out to IKEA Netherlands and Switzerland.


Complete insight and scalability

Today, the solution runs stably at multiple locations. IKEA has real-time insight into stock, orders, and usage per employee. A process that was previously manual and error-prone is now fully digital and scalable.
