Services delivered
Reduction in stock mismatch
Faster procurement cycle
Reduction in unplanned downtime
01 / Background
A one-stop pipe manufacturer offering end-to-end solutions from raw material procurement to finished goods. Their legacy ERP could no longer absorb growing operational complexity, leading to inefficiencies across manufacturing, inventory and quality.
02 / Challenges
Outdated ERP lacked scalability, flexibility and integration between departments.
Required robust tracking across pipes of widely varying sizes, with engineering changes flowing into production cleanly.
Needed structured QC at material inspection and final-product testing, with full documentation.
Poor visibility of raw materials, in-process inventory and finished goods caused order-fulfillment delays.
Separate systems for sales, purchase and accounting created silos that slowed decision-making.
03 / Solutions
Set up Odoo's Manufacturing module to track production in real time with precise routings for each pipe size.
Implemented PLM for managing design changes and engineering revisions — full version control across BOMs.
Configured QC checks at every stage from material inspection to final testing, with photo and measurement attachments.
Deployed Odoo Inventory for real-time tracking of raw materials, semi-finished and finished goods across locations.
Unified Sales, Purchase and Accounting for seamless operations and a single source of truth.
Added advanced reporting on production, inventory levels and financial health to support faster decisions.
Multi-company accounting with branch-level reports, vendor-bill integration and auto-validation streamlined monthly close.
