Case study · DWS – Desserts Wholesale Supplies

A trade webshop for 1,100+ lines, run from the same system as the warehouse

A UK dessert ingredients wholesaler runs its trade counter, warehouse, purchasing, accounts and a trade-only webshop on a single Odoo, with online sales channels feeding the same stock.

The challenge

DWS supplies dessert parlours, cafés and restaurants with brands such as Monin and Callebaut alongside its own range. Orders came in by phone, at the trade counter and through several online channels, each with its own stock and price list.

The business needed trade customers to order online at their own prices, by the box, with stock that was always right, and wanted imported goods costed properly so margins could be trusted.

What we did

The solution

Trade-only webshop

An Odoo eCommerce site where logged-in trade customers order by the box at box prices, pay by card or on account, and one login can manage several businesses.

Trade counter

Odoo Point of Sale with packaging price lists, discounts and refunds, and lot numbers assigned automatically for traceability.

Imports and purchasing

Landed costs added straight from the purchase order, and supplier bills in other currencies handled correctly.

Every channel, one stock

WooCommerce and TikTok Shop orders flowing into the same Odoo stock and accounts, with access for outside systems kept tightly limited.

Export ready

Export invoices and packing lists with customs details.

The result
  • Trade customers order online whenever it suits them, and the team spends less time taking orders by phone.
  • One stock figure for the counter, the warehouse and every online channel.
  • Margins based on the true landed cost of imported goods.
  • A modern website that shows the full range to new trade customers.

How we can help you do the same

Not every project is right for us

We would rather say this before we start. Think Optimise works with a limited number of businesses at a time, and we choose them as carefully as they choose us.

We are a good fit if you want your system done properly: accounts that reconcile, processes that are agreed and written down, and a team that is trained and confident on day one.

We are probably not the right fit if you want Odoo installed quickly and left alone. There are faster ways to get a login screen. There are few better ways to get a system your business can run on for years.

We will ask things of you: a project owner, time from your key people, and honest answers about how your business really works today. In return, you get the same experienced team from the first meeting to long after go-live, and a partner who still answers the phone.

If that sounds like the way you want to work, we would like to hear from you.

Let's talk about your system

Tell us about your business and what you need. We'll reply within one working day.

Quality over quantity. We deliberately work with a limited number of clients at a time, so we can serve each one better: more time, more care, and the same experienced team from the first meeting to go-live and beyond.

Every field is optional. The more you share, the better we can prepare for our first conversation.
