Description

An innovative mobile solution specifically designed for warehouse managers who need to manage inventories and logistics operations directly from the field. The application integrates seamlessly with Odoo ERP, providing a touch-optimized interface for mobile devices and tablets that transforms the way warehouse teams interact with the enterprise system.

In logistics environments where speed and accuracy are fundamental, RESA becomes the essential tool that allows operators to perform complex management tasks without needing to return to a desk.

Challenge

Warehouse managers faced multiple obstacles when attempting to use Odoo ERP directly from mobile devices in the field. Odoo's traditional web interface was not optimized for small touchscreens, and workers wearing industrial gloves found it virtually impossible to interact with tiny buttons and complex forms.

This operational friction resulted in:

• Time loss having to return to fixed workstations to record information
• Data entry errors when attempting to use the web interface on mobile devices
• Staff frustration at being unable to complete simple tasks like scanning products or confirming deliveries from the point of operation
• Inability to document deliveries with photographs at the exact moment of operation

The critical need was to provide a tool that maintained all of Odoo's power but with a user experience designed specifically for the actual conditions of an operational warehouse.

Solution

The application was developed as a native mobile application that acts as a specialized interface between warehouse operators and the Odoo ERP system. The solution addresses each identified pain point:

Field-Optimized Interface:

• Large, spaced buttons designed for use with industrial gloves
• Simplified workflows requiring minimal steps to complete common operations
• High contrast and readable typography even under direct sunlight
• Intuitive navigation that reduces the need for extensive training

Product Entry with Scanning:

• Native barcode reader integration
• Quick merchandise receipt registration with automatic validation
• Ability to add notes and photographs at the moment of entry
• Quantity and product condition verification

Delivery Documentation:

• Photographic capture of deliveries to end customers
• Digital signature of receiver directly in the application
• Automatic geolocation of delivery point
• Automatic attachment of evidence to Odoo record

The application transforms the operational experience of warehouse staff, allowing them to be more productive and accurate while keeping all information synchronized with the central business management system. The solution not only solved usability problems but also significantly improved the traceability of logistics operations and team work satisfaction.
