Cold storage operations, unified from gate to invoice.
Occupancy, temperature compliance and storage billing in one Odoo-native app — so a single excursion never turns into a claim nobody can prove.
The problem
Cold storage margin lives and dies on two numbers: how much certified space is occupied, and whether every pallet stayed inside its temperature band from gate-in to dispatch. Most operators track this across spreadsheets, paper gate registers, weighbridge slips and email, so occupancy, billing and compliance data never reconcile — and insurance or recall claims are only payable with a continuous, timestamped evidence trail nobody can produce.
The solution
Cold Storage Warehouse Management unifies gate entry, zone-enforced bin allocation, incoming inspection, audit-grade temperature monitoring, contract billing and a customer portal in one Odoo app — so occupancy, compliance and invoicing finally share the same source of truth.
Everything a cold store operator needs
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Live occupancy & zone enforcement
A warehouse to room to rack to bin hierarchy rolls up occupancy in real time, and every bin's temperature zone setpoint and limits block storing a consignment in an incompatible zone.
Gate entry & weighbridge capture
Record every vehicle movement with driver, container, photo and signature, plus gross, tare and net weight on the same gate entry record — replacing the paper gate register.
Incoming inspection & grading
Grade and photograph incoming goods before they are stored, so disputes and claims are backed by evidence captured on arrival.
Consignment tracking with FEFO
Track every consignment and lot to its physical bin and owning customer, with first-expiry-first-out guidance driving dispatch order.
Audit-grade temperature records
Purpose-built fields capture setpoint, lower and upper limits, minimum and maximum reached, excursion minutes and an automatically computed Mean Kinetic Temperature.
Cold-chain excursion workflow
Excursions move through investigation, escalation, corrective action and disposal decision — not a generic open/resolved flag — with photo evidence and email notification on confirmation.
Storage contracts & automated billing
Define per-customer storage rates and let a scheduled process generate monthly charges directly from actual bin occupancy, creating the customer invoice without re-keying.
Customer self-service portal
Customers log in to view their own consignments, storage status and gate activity, cutting routine status calls to the warehouse.
Procurement requisitions & job costing
Route consumable and maintenance purchase requisitions through multi-level approval to a purchase order or internal picking, and track planned-versus-actual material, labour and overhead on job cost sheets.
How it works
Gate in & weigh
A vehicle arrives; driver, container, photo and signature are captured along with weighbridge gross, tare and net weight on the gate entry.
Inspect & grade
Incoming goods are inspected and graded with photo evidence before any storage decision is made.
Allocate & store
Consignment lines are assigned only to compatible temperature zones, bin occupancy updates live, and FEFO guidance orders future dispatch.
Monitor, bill & dispatch
Temperature is audited continuously with MKT and the excursion workflow, contracts generate monthly charges from real occupancy, and customers track status on the portal.
Frequently asked
No sales fog. If your question isn't here, email us and we'll answer it the same way.
Every temperature record captures setpoint, minimum and maximum reached, excursion minutes, an automatically computed Mean Kinetic Temperature and the disposal decision, with photo or document evidence and a full chatter audit trail — the defensible evidence set insurers and recall claims require.
