The IKEA of Building Materials: Why BuildMyPlace Trusts Ventor PRO for Warehouse Management

BuildMyPlace is a fast-growing company based in Louisville, Kentucky, led by Rahul Anand. Their business model can be described as the “IKEA of building materials.” Operating as a direct-to-consumer (D2C) brand, the company offers a wide range of home improvement and renovation products: from kitchen cabinets, flooring, and tiles to doors, windows, bath fixtures, and lighting.

Some of BuildMyPlace’s products involve complex manufacturing and assembly processes. That’s why it was crucial for the team to find a solution that could bring transparency and efficiency to every stage — from production to final delivery.

“As we grow, our goal is to evolve these functionalities and make both the shop floor and assembly floor seamless,” says Rahul.

Initial Challenges with Odoo

Like many businesses, BuildMyPlace faced limitations with the out-of-the-box Odoo system, especially in the area of warehouse management.

This is where VentorTech and the Ventor PRO app came into play. For more than seven years, the app has been a critical part of their operations. “Ventor has been a great asset, constantly evolving and adding new features that are vital for real-world business scenarios where core Odoo falls short,” Rahul explains.

Streamlining Warehouse Operations

Thanks to Ventor PRO, BuildMyPlace has significantly optimized its warehouse workflows, including:

“VentorTech helps us keep all these processes seamless, from picking and packing to returns and receiving,” Rahul shares.

More Than Technology: A True Partnership

One of the key advantages Rahul highlights is VentorTech’s ability to bridge the gap between technology and real-world use cases. Many IT agencies or consultants understand software but fail to adapt it to business reality.

“That’s where VentorTech really stands out. They not only know the technology but also deeply understand the challenges companies like ours face. It’s been a great partnership,” says Rahul.

The experience of BuildMyPlace proves that successful digital transformation requires both the right tools and the right partner. VentorTech continues to help businesses worldwide simplify, optimize, and scale their operations with Odoo.

The Ventor app Enhances Amazon’s FBA Prep Service in Chicago

Thomas Dauksys, the owner of Shipux LLC in the Greater Chicago Area, Illinois, runs an FBA prep service that caters to Amazon sellers and e-commerce businesses. His company, Shipux LLC, is an experienced FBA prep center that handles everything from receiving to inspecting, labeling, and packaging inventory. This allows sellers to focus on growing their business instead of getting bogged down in tedious logistics.

Shipux’s warehouse operations had become too complex to manage manually, necessitating the integration of barcode processes for receiving, inventory management, picking, and shipment. The standard Odoo barcode app did not smoothly handle 3PL-related operations, which involved managing goods from multiple product owners.

In 2020, Thomas began improving his business with VentorTech. Shipux LLC utilizes the Odoo system and have integrated the Ventor PRO app (Odoo barcode scanning software) with their scanners.

Thomas reports that Ventor has greatly improved their efficiency by reducing overall time spent on picking, packing, and barcode scanning. 

Talking about hardware, Thomas uses Zebra scanners such as MC9300 and TC7X that communicate with Odoo using Ventor, and Zebra printers such as ZT400 to print shipping labels.

BTW, you can instantly print Odoo shipping labels via the Odoo Direct Print PRO app.

Thomas highly recommends the Ventor app to anyone using Odoo for warehouse management. According to him, the software has significantly enhanced their warehouse operations.

Looking ahead, Thomas plans to expand Shipux LLC with the help of Odoo and the VentorTech team. Currently, Shipux LLC operates out of a 5,000-square-foot warehouse but aims to move to larger facilities, ultimately targeting a 100,000-square-foot space. He believes that with the right technology from VentorTech, they will achieve this growth quickly. For businesses seeking to enhance their e-commerce solutions, Thomas suggests considering Odoo and VentorTech for their easy integration and efficiency improvements.
