From two local liquor stores and party rentals to one
clear digital operation
✽ Groots Dranken – De Drie Dennen – Newconomie – Odoo
For Arno the business is not just about sales in the store. In addition to the two liquor stores, Groots Dranken is also active in renting out items for parties and events. Think of everything needed to assist customers well at a get-together, birthday, corporate party, event or other occasion.
This makes daily practice versatile. There are two stores: cash registers, inventory, customers,
orders, online sales, promotions, marketing, rental items, and follow-up. Everything must
be in order. Not separate from each other, but from one clear structure.
Newconomie helps Arno to automate this business operation with Odoo.
The goal: more
overview, less manual work, better control, and one central environment where
retail, webshop, rental, and marketing come together.

The assignment: One system for two liquor stores, webshop, cash register, and rental
Groots Dranken had a need for more grip on the daily operation. With two physical liquor stores, an overview is crucial. What has been sold? What is in stock? Which products run well? Which articles must be replenished? How do cash register, webshop, and administration connect to each other? And how do you ensure that marketing is not left behind, but is executed structurally?
● Overview over two liquor stores;
● Modern cash register systems that align with the business operations;
● Expansion and improvement of the webshop;
● Better stock management;
● A tight application for the rental of party items;
● Completely outsourcing marketing activities;
● More grip on promotions, campaigns, customers, and follow-up
● Ess separate systems and less double work
The request to Newconomie was clear:
Set up Odoo so that Arno can manage his liquor stores, rental activities, webshop, and marketing
from one central environment.
It was not just about software. It was mainly about translating the daily
practice into a workable system.
For Groots Dranken, this meant among other things:
The assignment:
one system for two liquor stores,
webshop, cash register, and
rental
Groots Dranken needed more control over daily operations.
With two physical liquor stores, overview is crucial. What has been sold? What is in stock?
Which products are selling well? Which items need to be restocked? How do the
cash register, webshop, and administration connect with each other? And how do you ensure that marketing does not fall behind, but is executed systematically?
● Overview of two liquor stores;
● Modern cash register systems that connect to the business operations;
● Expansion and improvement of the webshop;
● Better inventory management;
● A streamlined application for renting party supplies;
● Fully outsourcing marketing activities;
● More control over actions, campaigns, customers, and follow-up;
● Fewer separate systems and less duplicate work.
The request to Newconomie was clear:
Set up Odoo so that Arno can manage his liquor stores, rental activities, webshop, and marketing
from one central environment.
It was not just about software. It was mainly about translating daily
practice into a workable system.
For Groots Dranken, this meant among other things:
The role of Newconomie: from separate parts to one functioning whole
Newconomie is an official Odoo partner and helps companies with implementation, optimization,
automation, and daily digital execution.
A liquor store has its own dynamics. Retail must be fast. Inventory
must be accurate. Promotions must be visible. Webshop orders must be processed
correctly. Rentals require planning, availability, and clear agreements. And marketing
must align with seasons, holidays, local promotions, and customer behavior.
Therefore, the project began with understanding the business structure:
● How do the two liquor stores operate separately?
● Where should they come together?
● Which products, prices, and inventories belong to which location?
● How does the sales process through the register work?
● What role does the webshop play?
● How are rental items requested, scheduled, and followed up?
● Welke marketingactiviteiten moeten structureel worden uitgevoerd?
● Welke informatie heeft Arno nodig om snel goede beslissingen te nemen?
Op basis daarvan heeft Newconomie Odoo ingericht als centrale bedrijfssoftware voor
Groots Dranken.

● Where should they come together?
● Which products, prices, and inventories belong to which location?
● How does the sales process through the cash register work?
● What role does the webshop play?
● How are rental items requested, scheduled, and followed up?
● Which marketing activities need to be carried out structurally?
● What information does Arno need to make good decisions quickly?
Based on that, Newconomie has set up Odoo as the central business software for
Groots Dranken.
Two liquor stores in one central Odoo environment
Groots Dranken works with two physical locations: Groot's Dranken in Drunen and De Drie Dennen in Baarle-Nassau. With Odoo, these activities are clearly brought together. The shops can be managed separately, while Arno still keeps central insight into sales, stock, customers, and results. That gives peace of mind in the daily operation. No more searching in separate systems, but one environment in which it is clear what is happening.
Cash register systems that connect to the sales floor
For a liquor store, the cash register is an important part of the business. Sales must be quick,
reliable, and user-friendly.
Newconomie organizes Odoo in such a way that the cash register systems logically connect to the store practice.
Products, prices, inventory, and sales data come together in one system.
This results in less duplicate work and reduces the chance of errors. Each sale contributes directly to a better overall overview.
Better visibility of inventory
A liquor store works with a wide assortment. Wine, whisky, beer, spirits, gift packaging, seasonal products, promotions, and exclusive articles all ask for good stock management.
With Odoo, Groots Dranken gets more insight into the stock per location. Arno can see better
what is available, what needs to be replenished, and which products need attention
.
This is important for the store, but also for the webshop and rental activities. Customers
must be able to rely on up-to-date information and quick follow-up.
Webshop expansion
Online sales are becoming increasingly important for local liquor stores. Customers are researching
online, looking for deals, viewing assortments, and want to order easily or
get in touch.
Newconomie helps Groots Dranken with the expansion of the webshop, so that online
sales better align with the stores and the internal administration.
The goal is that webshop, inventory, customer data, and order processing are not separate
but come together in Odoo. This creates one clear line from online order to
processing, delivery, pickup, or invoicing.
A streamlined application for rentals at parties and events
In addition to the liquor stores, Groots Dranken is active in rentals for parties and events.
This requires more than just a list of items.
Renting means planning, availability, reservations, appointments, returns, possible deposits, combinations with drink orders, and clear communication with the customer. Newconomie has set up a clear application for this.
With this, Groots Dranken manage rental items better and follow up on requests more strictly Think of items and supplies for drinks, parties, events, and celebrations. This way, rental becomes not just a separate administration next to the store, but a professional part of the same business operations.
Marketing fully outsourced
For Arno marketing is an important part of the project.
Many entrepreneurs have plenty of ideas, but too little time to consistently execute
marketing.
Actions, newsletters, seasonal campaigns, social media, website management,
customer segments, and reports often get left behind.
Newconomie takes these marketing activities off your hands.
This means that marketing is no longer dependent on random moments in between, but
is executed from a clear plan.
Campaigns, customer groups, actions, website content, and results are linked to the broader Odoo environment.
For Groots Dranken, this means:
● Structural marketing planning;
● Preparing actions and campaigns;
● Newsletters and email campaigns;
● Updating website content;
● SEO basic optimizations;
● Social media and online visibility;
● Measuring results;
● Identifying areas for improvement;
● Follow-up from CRM and customer data.
This way, marketing is not a separate project, but a fixed part of the commercial
business operations.
Reporting and control
Arno wants an overview. Not just afterwards, but during the daily operation.
Therefore, Newconomie Odoo is set up so that important information becomes more accessible.
Think of revenue, sales per location, inventory, webshop orders, rental requests,
pending actions, and marketing results.
With clear reports, there is more control over the business.
This helps with practical decisions:
● Which products are selling well?
● Which actions are effective?
● Which location needs inventory?
● Which requests need to be followed up?
● Where are the commercial opportunities?
● Which marketing yields results?

De bedrijfsstructuur begrijpen
The project started with mapping the business activities.
Groots Dranken is not a standard liquor store with one sales channel. The company combines
two stores, webshop activities, cash registers, local customers, promotions, marketing, and rental for
parties and events.
Therefore, it first had to be clear how everything is connected.
2. Translating processes to Odoo
Then the processes were translated to Odoo.
Store sales, inventory, webshop, rentals, customer management, marketing, and reporting
must logically connect to each other.
The starting point was always the same:
The system must support practice, not make it more complicated
3. Connecting cash register, inventory and webshop
The cash register systems, inventory structure, and webshop together form an important
foundation.
Newconomie has organized these components so that sales data, product information, and
inventory come together better. This creates more control over the stores and the
online environment.
4. Organizing rental professionallyThe rental activities received their own structure.
With the new application,
De verhuuractiviteiten kregen een eigen structuur.
Met de nieuwe applicatie kan Groots Dranken can manage rental items and requests clearly.
This makes it easier to organize availability, planning, and follow-up well.
This makes rental more scalable and professional.
5. Marketing executing from one clear plan
Newconomie takes over the marketing activities and provides structure in execution and
follow-up.
For Groots Dranken this means that actions, campaigns, website content, newsletters and online visibility are no longer fragmented, but become part of one commercial approach.
