N.B Sons (Pvt) Ltd is a premier provider of high-quality products across pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, cosmeceuticals, foods, and contract manufacturing. Serving both branded and B2B contract clients, the company operates under stringent quality standards and must maintain rigorous batch records, shelf-life tracking, and regulatory documentation at every stage of the manufacturing and supply-chain process.
Business Challenges
▸ Batch records and lot traceability were maintained in disparate registers, creating compliance risk during audits.
▸ Expiry-date management across raw materials and finished goods was manual, resulting in occasional write-offs.
▸ Contract manufacturing orders were managed outside the core system, causing billing disputes and margin leakage.
▸ Quality control checkpoints between production stages lacked digital sign-off, slowing down release decisions.
▸ Procurement of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients was uncoordinated with production schedules.
▸ Financial reporting across product categories (pharma, cosmetics, food) was consolidated manually, lacking real-time granularity.
Odoo Solution Implemented
Corbis Soft implemented a precision-configured Odoo stack aligned to pharmaceutical manufacturing and GMP requirements:
Key configuration highlights included:
▸ Inventory: FEFO (First Expired, First Out) removal strategy activated; lot/serial tracking mandatory for all raw materials and finished goods.
▸ Manufacturing: Multi-level Bill of Materials for compound formulations; work order routing with stage-wise documentation.
▸ Quality: QC points at goods receipt, in-process checks, and finished goods release; digital certificates of analysis generated automatically.
▸ Sales: Contract manufacturing orders configured as separate sales order types with linked cost-of-production visibility.
▸ Purchase: Approved Vendor Lists (AVLs) enforced; GRN linked to quality inspection before stock is accepted.
▸ Accounting: Product-category profit centres for pharma, cosmetics, cosmeceutical, and food lines; automated cost-of-goods calculation.
