They secure inventory through partnerships with distributors in Ireland, and Italy, and direct procurements from manufacturers.

The Challenge

Managing Amazon Customer Returns

One of the main challenges in maintaining accurate stock figures is managing Amazon customer returns within Odoo. Through a centralised system, it becomes possible to monitor the reasons for returns and determine whether items are sellable again or unsellable. Without this information in Odoo, it becomes exceedingly difficult to ascertain exact inventory counts and plan how much stock should be sent to FBA warehouses.

Numla’s Solution

Our solution to this challenge involved several steps:

  • Integration of customer return information from Amazon into Odoo using an automated cron job, scheduled to run at desired intervals.
Auto-request and process FBA Customer Returns Report
  • Automatic processing of return reports fetched from Amazon, providing comprehensive details of products returned by customers for specific dates.

  • Displaying detailed information such as order reference numbers, fulfilment centres, product conditions, and reasons for return. Automatically storing products in either sellable or unsellable locations based on their condition.

  • Stock reports provide clients with insights into the number of products in unsellable locations and their total value.
