Module overview

Complete Mass-Distribution Management Solution turns Dolibarr into a genuine business solution for the mass-retail sector: retail banners, hypermarkets, supermarkets, convenience stores, central purchasing units, regional warehouses, logistics platforms, franchised and integrated stores, and omnichannel sales. It covers the full value chain, from supplier referencing to profitability analysis, through 34 connected business objects, a modern steering dashboard, and a decisional reporting suite — without modifying the Dolibarr core.

Retail network management

Multi-banner and multi-region organisation with a Group → Banner → Region → Store → Department → Register hierarchy. Compare performance across banners, regions, store formats and stores.

·       Banners: positioning, pricing & loyalty policy, revenue, managers

·       Regions: revenue targets vs. actuals, store counts

·       Stores: hyper / super / convenience formats, sales & storage area, registers, departments, services, opening dates

·       Warehouses & logistics platforms: central, regional and cold-chain, docks, pallet capacity, temperature zones

Departments and shelf management

Per-store departments (grocery, beverages, fresh, butchery, bakery, frozen, health & beauty, cleaning, bazaar, textile) with revenue and margin targets, reference counts and dedicated managers.

Product catalog & private labels

Enriched product catalog linked to native Dolibarr products, with brands, brand types (national / private label / premium / first-price), families, categories, EAN/PLU codes, buy & sell prices, margin rates, VAT, origin, storage temperature and shelf life.

Assortments

National, regional, store, seasonal and event assortments with mandatory/optional products, effective dates and store-format targeting.

Supplier management & referencing

Demand forecasting & replenishment

Product/store demand forecasts with accuracy tracking, and configurable replenishment (min/max, safety stock, reorder point, suggested quantity, coverage days).

Receiving, stock & inventories

Goods receipts with quantity/quality/temperature conformity, multi-site stock (availability, reservations, alerts, rotation, coverage), and annual / rolling / partial / department inventories with theoretical vs. counted values and gap analysis.

Pricing & promotions

Multi-level pricing (national, regional, store, promotional, clearance) with effective dates, margin control and price history; a full promotion engine (percentage, amount, fixed price, BOGO, quantity, loyalty) with budgets, supplier funding, revenue and margin.

Coupons, loyalty & customers

Coupons and vouchers, loyalty accounts (cards, points, tiers), and 360° customer records with segments, visit counts, average basket, favourite store & department and churn risk.

Sales, POS, drive & delivery

Fresh products, traceability & quality

Fresh lots with production/expiry dates and FEFO management, quality controls (reception, shelf, cold chain, hygiene, lab), product recalls with severity and store scope, and shrinkage/loss tracking (known/unknown, breakage, expiry, theft).

Returns, logistics & workforce

Customer returns & after-sales, transport rounds with fill rates and cost, store staff and shift planning, and a central alert centre (stock-out, overstock, expiry, price gaps, late orders, quality).

Dashboard & reporting

A modern steering dashboard (global performance KPIs, purchases kanban, sales/store/product/channel charts, customers & marketing, stock/fresh/logistics), and a decisional reporting suite across sales, top products, stores, purchasing, stock, promotions, customers, quality and shrinkage — with CSV export.

Dolibarr integration

Bidirectional integration with native modules: Third parties, Products, Stock, Warehouses, Users. Multi-entity aware, permission-driven, CSRF-protected, with no core modification.

Security & permissions

Eleven granular right groups (network, catalog, supplier, purchasing, stock, pricing, customer, sales, quality, logistics, reporting) with read/write/delete and an admin permission; costs and margins are gated to authorised users.

Multilingual support

Delivered in French, English, Italian, German and Spanish — every menu, field, status, message and report is translatable (551 keys per language).

Demonstration data

A realistic, FK-coherent demo dataset (banners, regions, stores, warehouses, departments, suppliers, products, purchases, stock, sales, promotions, loyalty, quality, logistics…) is created on first activation and can be regenerated or safely removed from the setup page.
