The challenges we solve
Is your distribution operation still dependent on spreadsheets and WhatsApp?
As daily order volumes grow, coordinating sales, warehouse teams and delivery drivers becomes increasingly difficult.
Time-consuming dispatch planning
Manually consolidating orders, scheduling deliveries and assigning drivers every day.
Inventory and quantity calculation errors
Managing products sold by carton, piece or kilogram while calculating dispatch quantities manually.
Disconnected driver and warehouse operations
Sharing delivery instructions, picking lists and customer information through messages and spreadsheets.
Delayed payment reconciliation
Manually matching deliveries, invoices, collections and driver cash balances at the end of the day.

Al-Afwa Success Story
From Excel-Based Dispatch Planning to a Connected Distribution Operation
75% Less dispatch planning time 50% Less paperwork
A frozen food distributor serving the HoReCa sector managed 148 SKUs, peak volumes of 100–150 daily orders and 15–20 delivery drivers.
Before implementation, its teams relied on Tally, Excel, email, WhatsApp and manual paperwork to coordinate orders, warehouse preparation, deliveries and payment reconciliation.
Areterix implemented Odoo to connect sales, purchasing, inventory, dispatch, driver operations, invoicing and collections.
