Make what is needed, when it is needed
A workshop holds together when everyone knows what to launch, with what and for when.
A rush order comes in. A component is missing. The schedule is redone on the whiteboard. Every surprise costs hours and delivery delays.
Odoo links sales orders, bills of materials, purchasing and stock. You launch the right manufacturing order at the right time and you see shortages coming.
Everyday tensions in the workshop
- Schedules kept on paper or in spreadsheets, quickly outdated.
- Bills of materials that differ between the design office and the workshop.
- Shortages discovered when the order is launched.
- Theoretical stock far from real stock.
- Non-conformities reported with no documented follow-up.
Production depends on the whole company. When sales, purchasing and the workshop do not use the same information, the workshop absorbs the gaps.
What production gains with Odoo
A workshop driven by real needs.
Readable planning
Orders are placed on a schedule by work centre. You see loads and conflicts.
Controlled bills of materials
Components, quantities and operations are described once. Every order reuses them.
Tracked manufacturing orders
Each step is validated in the workshop. Progress reads live.
Reliable stock
Every move is traced. Replenishments trigger in time.
Traced quality
Checks, watch points and non-conformities attach to the order concerned.
Purchasing triggered by need
A missing component generates a suitable purchase request.
How we bring your production under control
1
Observe the workshop
We follow your real flows: receiving, manufacturing, inspection, shipping.
2
Structure the data
Items, bills of materials and routings are migrated with care. They condition everything else.
3
Configure the flows
Planning, replenishment and quality checks are set to match how you manufacture.
4
Support the workshop
We train teams on the shop floor so data entry stays simple and fast.
A workshop connected to the rest of the company
A concrete example: a customer brings forward its delivery date. The planner opens the order concerned and immediately sees which components are available and which must be ordered. They shift another, less urgent order, warn the workshop and confirm the date to sales. This used to take half a day of phone calls. Now it takes a few minutes.
The strength of Odoo is its unity. The order confirmed by sales creates the manufacturing need. Stock reserves what exists. Purchasing completes what is missing. Accounting values it all with no re-keying.
You start with what hurts: often stock or planning. Our overview of the Odoo ERP shows how the modules complement each other.
Frequently asked questions from production
What workshop managers ask us before getting started.
Yes. A finished product can contain sub-assemblies that are themselves manufactured. Requirements are computed in cascade.
Yes. You describe the work centres and their hours. Orders are placed on them and conflicts appear.
Not necessarily. A tablet or a shared workstation is often enough to validate steps. We adapt it to your workshop.
With moves entered at every operation and cycle counts. The tool guides, discipline does the rest.
It offers control points and non-conformity tracking. For precise certification requirements, we scope the need upfront.
In many cases yes, with project-based or order-based management. We test your use case during the audit.
