Case Study
From Confusion to Control: How a Manufacturing Leader Streamlined Operations with Odoo ERP
In the heart of Tamil Nadu’s industrial belt, a fast-growing engineering company was making waves. The company provides complete manufacturing capabilities for machined ferrous & non-ferrous castings and sub-assemblies for both the Automotive and Non-Automotive industries. That is, they are known for their precision in crafting automated systems, material handling solutions, and machined components for both automotive and non-automotive giants, the company’s external success masked a growing internal challenge.
The Hidden Crisis
Despite a cutting-edge manufacturing floor, their internal operations were stuck in the past.
Each production stage ended with the same question:
“How much raw material do we actually have left?”
There was no system in place to accurately track remaining stock across stages. Inventory teams worked on assumptions. Purchase orders were reactive instead of proactive. And silos existed everywhere—Sales didn’t know what Inventory had, HR wasn’t aligned with Production, and Accounts spent hours reconciling mismatched figures. The result? Delays, confusion, and mounting inefficiencies.
The Transformation Begins
We rolled out a tailor-made Odoo ERP system, built for end-to-end efficiency:
CRM
- Automated lead capture and customer interaction tracking.
- Sales team coordination with a single source of truth.
Inventory & MRP
- Real-time inventory tracking and automated lot creation.
- Purchase order-wise GRNs (goods received note), pending reports, and inventory valuation.
- Operator dashboards to track productivity.
- BOM configurations linked to live stock updates.
Quality
- In-line and final product inspections.
- Self-inspections and SPC/MSA (Statistical Process Control/Measurement System Analysis) histories.
- Gauge and instrument tracking.
Upcoming Modules
