Odoo ERP for Manufacturing

Run production, inventory, purchasing and costing on one system. Official Odoo Ready Partner implementing Odoo MRP for discrete and process manufacturers.

Manufacturers usually come to us with production planned in spreadsheets, stock figures nobody fully trusts, and costing that is only known at month-end. Odoo brings bills of materials, work orders, purchasing, inventory and accounting into one database, so a sales order can drive production and procurement automatically and every component movement is costed as it happens.

Common challenges in manufacturing

Planning in spreadsheets

Production schedules live outside the system, so changes in demand or a late supplier are discovered on the shop floor instead of in the plan.

Unreliable stock levels

Raw material, WIP and finished goods are counted separately, leading to shortages, over-buying and emergency purchases.

Costs known too late

Actual material and labour costs are calculated after the fact, so margins on individual orders are guesswork.

Disconnected quality records

Inspections and non-conformances are tracked on paper, with no link to the lot, work order or supplier involved.

The Odoo apps we use

One database for every department. Some of these apps are part of Odoo Enterprise; we will recommend the right edition for your needs.

Manufacturing (MRP)

Multi-level bills of materials, routings, work centres, work orders and make-to-order or make-to-stock flows.

Inventory & Barcode

Multi-warehouse stock, lots and serial numbers, reordering rules and barcode-driven receipts, transfers and picking.

Purchase

Replenishment generated from MRP demand, vendor price lists, lead times and three-way matching with bills.

Quality & Maintenance

Quality control points on operations and preventive maintenance schedules for machines and work centres.

PLM

Engineering change orders and BoM versioning so production always builds the approved revision.

Accounting

Real-time inventory valuation and product costing that flows straight into the general ledger.

How we implement it

  • 01Map your actual production flow — BoM structure, routings and where work is really done — before configuring anything.
  • 02Migrate and clean item masters, BoMs and opening stock, then reconcile them against a physical count.
  • 03Start with standard MRP and add customisation only for genuine gaps, such as industry-specific labels or machine integrations.
  • 04Go live warehouse-first, then production, so stock accuracy is proven before work orders depend on it.
