Manufacturing ERP

When the shop floor runs but the finance reconciles by hand,

The seam between production and finance is the work.

We deliver manufacturing ERP that closes the loop: work order, inventory, costing, finance, all reconciled.

Four layers. Three seams. The seams are the work.

For Your Role

What This Page Gives You

COO / Plant Head

Production reality reaches the P&L

Work-order closures roll into inventory automatically. Subcontract returns reconcile against orders. No manual mapping at month-end.

Head of Planning

A Gantt view the shop actually uses

Advanced production-planning Gantt with work-order sequencing, resource constraints, drag-to-reschedule, dependency awareness. Built for manufacturing reality, not generic project timelines.

CTO / CIO

An ERP designed to talk to the shop floor

Integration capability for MES, SCADA, PLC data, weighbridges, label printers, and e-invoice gateways. We integrate Odoo with the shop-floor systems your operation already runs; we do not replace them.

CFO

Audit-traceable from shipment back to BOM

Lot/serial genealogy. Standard vs actual cost reconciled monthly. Multi-entity consolidation without a spreadsheet bridge.

Head of Quality

NCRs and hold tags inside the MRP cycle

Quality state respected by inventory and production. No parallel quality tracker that the team has to update twice.

Operating Reality

What Makes a Manufacturing ERP Hard

Six operating realities the manufacturing buyer recognises.

  1. 01

    The integration spine is the asset, not the modules

    Anyone can install Odoo's MRP module. The work is integrating Odoo with the shop-floor systems the operation runs (MES / SCADA / PLC data sources, weighbridges, label printers), the e-invoice flow, and the country-specific tax engine.

  2. 02

    Cost reconciliation is monthly engineering, not reporting

    Standard cost, actual cost, variance, scrap, subcontracting — these don't reconcile themselves. The system either does the work or the controller does.

  3. 03

    Subcontracting deserves first-class treatment

    In jewellery, precision parts, and specialised assembly, a significant share of value can flow through external vendors. The ERP either treats it as production-by-other-means or it fails on cost accuracy.

  4. 04

    Production planning needs a Gantt the shop actually uses

    Generic Odoo timeline views don't model resource constraints, sequence dependencies, or drag-to-reschedule the way a production planner needs them. We built an advanced production-planning Gantt module for exactly this gap — featured below.

  5. 05

    Multi-currency, multi-entity, multi-localisation

    Export sales, foreign suppliers, group consolidation, India GST + e-invoice, country-specific e-invoice and e-waybill regimes. Each adds complexity; together they're the operating reality.

  6. 06

    Quality state is a first-class concept

    NCRs, hold tags, in-process inspection. These can't be a separate spreadsheet — they have to gate the MRP cycle or the system lies to leadership.

How We Typically Engage

Engagement Shapes for Manufacturing Operations

Implementation

New ERP rollout. 12 to 36 weeks of delivery + 6 to 12 weeks of stabilisation. Phased: finance + inventory first, then production, then advanced reporting.

Open Implementation →

Modernization & Migration

Replatforming from Tally, QuickBooks, SAP B1, NetSuite, or legacy in-house systems. Decision audit before the technical move.

Open Modernization →

Long-Term Support

Once the system is live, quarterly cadence: optimisation, version-upgrade routine, audit-posture maintenance.

When We're the Right Partner

Ready if

A manufacturing engagement is the right move when you operate one or more production sites with real shop-floor reality, your current system can't close the loop between production and finance without manual reconciliation, and leadership wants integration depth, not just module licensing.

Too early if

It's too early when you're pre-production, you want the cheapest ERP licence without delivery depth, or your priority is a feature checklist, not the integration spine.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you implement Odoo's MRP module?

Yes, as the core. But the engagement is rarely about installing MRP — it's about integrating MRP with the shop floor, the costing reality, the finance ledger, and the country-specific tax and e-invoice requirements. The MRP module is the easy part.

Do you handle multi-plant manufacturing?

Yes. Multi-entity inter-company production, group consolidation, and consolidated costing are part of how we deliver. Jewel India runs multi-branch on the Odoo we delivered.

What about subcontracting?

First-class. Jewellery and precision-parts engagements use subcontracting as a primary value flow. The ERP treats subcontracting as production-by-vendor with proper costing and lot traceability.

Do you integrate with MES / SCADA / PLC systems?

Yes, when the workload requires it. We do not replace MES or SCADA; we integrate Odoo with them so shop-floor reality reaches finance without manual data entry. The integration is scoped per engagement based on what the operation already runs.

What country localisations have you delivered?

India (GST, e-invoice, e-waybill) is the deepest. Country-specific localisations on other engagements are scoped per engagement; the manifest of delivered country packages is confirmed in the consultation conversation.

What's a typical manufacturing implementation timeline?

12 to 36 weeks of delivery + 6 to 12 weeks of stabilisation. Single-entity engagements run 5 to 9 months end-to-end; multi-entity or multi-country engagements run 9 to 18 months.

How do you handle ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001 documentation requirements?

We design the operating system to support ISO-aligned management-system needs — document control, NCR tracking, audit history, management-review evidence. The ERP is not itself "ISO-certified"; the operating entity is. We deliver the controls and procedures the audit assesses.

Do you handle production planning and scheduling?

Yes. We built an advanced production-planning Gantt module specifically for manufacturing engagements — work-order sequencing, resource constraints, drag-to-reschedule, dependency awareness, and capacity-aware scheduling. The generic Odoo timeline view did not match how shop-floor planners actually work; the bespoke module does. Available on every manufacturing implementation we deliver.
