Odoo 19: The Game-Changer for Pet Wise Operations
Transform fragmented systems into a unified, integrated platform. Achieve break-even within 13-14 months and cumulative ROI of 370% by year 3 while addressing your 10 critical operational challenges.
Executive Summary
Pet Wise stands at a critical inflection point. As a leading provider of solution-based pet products, the company's success is increasingly constrained by a fragmented, disparate system landscape. The current operational model, stretching from Raw Material to End Customer, is plagued by inefficiencies across global resourcing, complex retail compliance (EDI), and siloed customer engagement.
This proposal outlines a strategic partnership to implement Odoo 19, the world's fastest-growing, fully integrated business application suite. Odoo 19 is not merely an ERP upgrade; it is a unified game-changer designed to dissolve system silos, automate complex workflows, and provide the real-time, end-to-end visibility required to sustain Pet Wise's aggressive growth trajectory.
Pet Wise Value Chain: Raw Material to End Customer
Pet Wise’s three-pronged business model—combining high-volume mass retail, personalized specialty stores, and direct-to-consumer (DTC) e-commerce—creates significant operational complexity. This structure necessitates a single source of truth to manage the business. The existing use of disconnected systems is severely hindering performance, manifesting as ten critical pain points that drive up costs, reduce efficiency, and restrict the ability to make rapid strategic decisions.
Current State Analysis: The Cost of Fragmentation
These 10 critical pain points are impeding efficiency, inflating costs, and limiting strategic agility:
Global Resourcing
Lack of real-time visibility into global supplier inventory and lead times.
EDI Compliance
Manual data entry and non-compliance penalties from disparate systems.
E-commerce / DTC
Disconnected e-commerce platform from inventory and fulfillment.
Order Processing
Inefficient handling of both high-volume and specialty store orders.
Finance & Admin
Manual reconciliation and delayed financial closing processes.
HR & Payroll
Error-prone payroll processing and complex compliance filing.
CRM & Customer Data
Fragmented customer data across sales, marketing, and service.
Marketing ROI
Inability to track marketing spend to sales revenue effectively.
Communication
Reliance on external, non-integrated communication tools.
Business Intelligence
Dependence on manual data exports and complex spreadsheets.
