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.
