Gus Foods

Gus Foods is changing how people eat at work. Smart fridges at office locations give employees 24/7 access to fresh, healthy and locally prepared meals. They open the fridge with an app, choose their meal, and payment happens automatically.

FoodTech IoT B2B2C Mobile App Odoo Enterprise

When Gus Foods contacted Abstractive in 2021, they had an ambitious vision: a network of smart fridges that work as mini-restaurants inside companies. The fridges ran on their own POS terminal, but without a central system behind it: inventory management, orders and invoicing lived separately from each other. With a full Odoo implementation Abstractive built the complete digital foundation on which the Gus Foods experience runs today, in close collaboration with a specialized app partner that developed the mobile application.

"Everything the user sees in the app, products, prices, discounts, payments, all of it flows from Odoo. Abstractive made that possible."

Andreas De Ridder, Founder of Gus Foods

From separate tools to one platform that drives everything

Before
Fridges with their own POS terminal, detached from any central system
Inventory management and orders not connected
Payments and invoicing as separate processes
No mobile app, no digital customer relationship
No real-time view of which fridge needs what
→
Now with Odoo
One integrated ecosystem: Odoo as the backbone, the app as the storefront
Real-time inventory per location with automatic replenishment rules
Payment integrations in one smooth flow
REST API that feeds the app with products, prices and promotions
Push notifications, discount campaigns and loyalty programs directly from Odoo

The Abstractive Four-Stage Rocket
This is how we approached it at Gus Foods.
From a standalone POS terminal to one integrated Odoo platform.

The fridge is smart. So is the system behind it.

The app as Odoo's storefront

The mobile app, built by a specialized partner, is the storefront. Odoo is the store behind it. Everything the user sees, products, prices, discount campaigns, payment options, flows in real time from the platform we set up.

The fridge talks to Odoo

Physical fridges that communicate directly with Odoo. Locks that unlock via the app, inventory that is tracked in real time, and automatic replenishment suggestions per location.

Tailored advice

We do not just build, we also advise: on inventory optimization, accounting setup and process improvement. Our consultants think along about the best approach, not just the technical execution. This is how we work on every project: discover our approach.

Strategic partner

Five years of collaboration and the story is not over yet. Gus Foods chose a service agreement to involve Abstractive structurally as a partner in their digital growth.
