Planning lives in spreadsheets
MPS and MRP run in Excel, disconnected from real stock and open POs, so shortages and expedites are discovered too late.
Odoo ERP for manufacturers who run on the shop floor
Connect planning, work orders, quality, and maintenance to live inventory and costing, so production decisions are made on real data instead of spreadsheets and end-of-month guesswork.
01 / Where it breaks
Where manufacturing teams lose control.
Most plants don't lack data, they lack one connected system. These are the gaps we close with a fit-first Odoo rollout.
Shop floor is a black box
Work order progress, downtime, and scrap are logged on paper, leaving supervisors blind until the shift is already behind.
Costing never matches reality
Standard costs drift from actuals because component consumption, labor, and overhead aren't captured at the operation.
Quality and traceability are manual
Lot and serial tracking, inspection records, and non-conformance handling sit outside the system, which slows audits and recalls.
02 / What we configure
How we shape Odoo for production.
The Odoo services we deliver most for manufacturers, from first configuration to custom shop-floor tooling.
In this scope
MRP & MPS configuration
Reordering rules, BoM structures, routings, and lead times configured so planning reflects your real capacity and sourcing.
Discuss this scope03 / Use cases
Production scenarios we solve in Odoo.
Common manufacturing workflows we configure or build so they run inside one system.
Make-to-order & configure-to-order
Link sales configurations to BoMs and routings so each order drives the right production and procurement automatically.
Subcontracting workflows
Manage components sent to subcontractors, track WIP, and reconcile receipts against outsourced operations.
Batch & process manufacturing
Handle lot-based production, yields, and by-products with traceability from raw material to finished goods.
Preventive maintenance
Schedule equipment maintenance around production plans to cut unplanned downtime and protect throughput.
In-line quality gates
Trigger quality checks at receiving and key operations, blocking bad stock from moving downstream.
Shop-floor terminals
Give operators barcode-driven tablets to start, pause, and close work orders with live labor and material capture.
04 / Odoo apps in the mix
Odoo apps we implement for manufacturers.
A pragmatic module mix, phased so the plant keeps running while value lands early.
Manufacturing (MRP)
Work orders, BoMs, routings, and MPS/MRP planning.
Inventory
Multi-warehouse stock, lots/serials, and barcode operations.
Quality
Control points, checks, and non-conformance handling.
Maintenance
Preventive and corrective maintenance for equipment.
PLM
Engineering change orders and BoM version control.
Purchase
Vendor management, RFQs, and procurement tied to MRP.
Accounting
Real-time inventory valuation and analytic costing.
Sales & CRM
Quotations, order management, and make-to-order flows.
05 / AI once the data is clean
AI assistance for smarter production planning
Once your production data is clean in Odoo, AI can help you plan capacity, anticipate downtime, and prioritize the right work.

06 / How we deliver
A phased path from discovery to go-live.
Phased delivery keeps the plant running while planning, shop floor, and finance come online in the right order.
Discover & map
We map your current processes, data, and integration points across teams and existing tools before touching configuration.
Design & scope
We define the Odoo app mix, customization plan, and phased rollout with written trade-offs so stakeholders know what ships when.
Build & migrate
We configure MRP, BoMs, and work centers, build custom shop-floor and machine integrations, migrate item and BoM data, and validate with a pilot line.
Launch & support
Role-based training, hypercare after go-live, then upgrades, tuning, and a steady improvement backlog.

Questions
Before you write to us.
Can Odoo replace our existing MRP or MES?
Often, yes. Odoo Manufacturing handles MRP, work orders, routings, quality, and maintenance in one system. For deep machine-level MES needs, we integrate Odoo with the shop-floor layer rather than forcing a full rip-and-replace.
Does Odoo support lot and serial traceability?
Yes. Odoo tracks lots and serial numbers through purchasing, production, and delivery, giving you full upstream and downstream genealogy for recalls and audits.
How does Odoo handle product costing?
Odoo supports standard, average, and FIFO costing with real-time inventory valuation. We configure analytic accounting so labor and overhead consumed at operations flow into accurate product cost.
Can we integrate machines, PLCs, or IIoT devices?
Yes. We connect scales, label printers, barcode scanners, and PLC or IIoT feeds to Odoo through its APIs and IoT tooling, so operators work from live data instead of manual entry.
How long does an Odoo manufacturing implementation take?
A focused rollout for a single plant typically lands in phases over a few months. Timeline depends on product complexity, integrations, and data quality, which we scope during discovery.
