Track cleaning supplies per client site with Odoo Inventory. Set reorder points for chemicals, paper products, and equipment. Deliveries are scheduled to each site, and consumption rates help forecast monthly supply costs per contract.
- Supply inventory per client site (multi-location)
- Automated reorder when supplies drop below threshold
- MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) attached to chemical products
- Supply cost allocation per contract for margin analysis
Billing and Invoicing
Recurring contracts generate monthly invoices automatically through Odoo Subscriptions. Extra services (deep cleaning, emergency callouts) are invoiced separately. Time-and-material contracts bill actual hours from timesheets.
