Printing Press ERP is a print-shop layer on standard Odoo CRM, Sales, Manufacturing, Inventory, and Accounting. A public Get a Quote form lands as a CRM inquiry. The estimator builds a costed print estimation (paper, imposition, wastage, setup and run cost), then creates a Sale Order in one click. Confirmed orders become manufacturing job cards with plates, artwork, deadlines, and shop-floor notes.
The module is for commercial printers, in-plant shops, and pre-press teams that quote catalogues, brochures, flyers, labels, and similar jobs. Customers track inquiries, quotations, jobs, and artwork from the portal. Internal users work from a Control Tower: pipeline value, production pulse, overdue jobs, plate stock, and financials, with date presets and drill-down into the matching lists.
