Challenges Faced
By The Sea required a flexible retail and inventory management system tailored to their resortwear operations. The key challenges included:
- Return policy enforcement requiring product exchanges instead of refunds, incompatible with default PoS behavior
- The need to implement production and stock management without activating the Manufacturing module in the first phase
- A requirement to issue raw materials and accessories manually while still tracking finished goods effectively
Odoo Implementation
Key Features Implemented
- Standard Odoo PoS configuration with customization to support return-only-in-exchange (no cash refunds)
- Use of Purchase Orders to register Finished Goods without activating the Manufacturing module
- Manual issuance of raw materials and accessories using Odoo stock operations, maintaining traceability without complex production flows
Business Benefits

- Maintained full PoS functionality while ensuring customer experience consistency
Streamlined Production Without Complexity
- Enabled production traceability without full manufacturing setup
- Efficient material issuance using Odoo standard inventory tools
Cost-Effective Phase 1 Rollout
