Client Overview

Unicorn Petro is a leading manufacturer and exporter of industrial lubricants, specialty oils, greases, and petroleum products, serving customers across domestic and international markets. The company manages a high volume of export transactions involving complex documentation, customer inquiries from multiple lead sources, procurement coordination, and compliance with international shipping requirements.

To streamline its export operations and eliminate manual documentation, Unicorn Petro partnered with KoderXpert to implement a customized Odoo ERP solution focused on CRM automation, sales, purchasing, and complete export documentation workflows.

• Multiple shipping documents had to be created individually, increasing processing time and the risk of errors.
• Difficulty maintaining consistency across commercial invoices, packing lists, shipping instructions, and related export documents.
• Limited visibility into export order status and shipment progress.
• Manual preparation of customer-specific document formats.

Key objectives included:
