One of the top producers of food and beverages is DelMonte Philippines. With 20,000 hectares of pineapple farms in Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental, it runs the largest integrated pineapple enterprise in the world. It produces nearly one-tenth of the processed pineapple goods produced annually worldwide.

To oversee the sell-outs at all distributors nationwide, the food and beverage company needed a powerful Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. In addition, several departments needed to be connected and communicate effectively to keep business operations running smoothly. As a result, they asked for specialized modules on the Odoo platform like Distributor Management System, Purchase Automation Module, Continuous Replenishment Module, and Vendor Managed Inventory Module.
