One Odoo core replaced four systems and cut month-end close from nine days to two
A three-plant manufacturer ran production, inventory, accounts and maintenance on four disconnected systems. We consolidated them into a single Odoo core with plant-floor data capture, cutting month-end close from nine days to two.

Context
The situation we found
Process-equipment manufacturer with three plants and 480 employees
Engagement model: Fixed-scope implementation + AMC
Order-to-cash spanned a legacy accounting package, two spreadsheets-of-record and a homegrown production tracker. Costing was reconstructed manually after the fact, so leadership never saw true job profitability inside the quarter.
Challenge
What was blocking the business
The constraints that had to be resolved before any technology decision mattered.
Approach
How we solved it
The decisions that produced the outcome, not a feature list.
Process discovery before configuration
Four weeks of on-site mapping across plants produced a single validated process model and a clean item and BOM master.
Odoo as the operational core
Manufacturing, inventory, purchase, sales, accounting and maintenance modules configured against the agreed model, with custom costing rules.
Shop-floor data capture
Tablet-based work order confirmation and barcode movement so WIP and consumption post in real time rather than at week's end.
Compliance automation
GST-ready invoicing, e-invoice generation and audit trails built into the transaction flow instead of bolted on at filing time.
Delivery roadmap
How the programme ran
- 01
Discovery & process model · 4 weeks

- 02
Core configuration · 8 weeks
Odoo modules, costing rules, chart of accounts and role-based access.
- 03
Data migration & UAT · 5 weeks
Master data cleansing, opening balances, parallel run and user training.
- 04
Go-live & hypercare · 4 weeks
Phased cutover by plant, on-site support and stabilisation.
Results
What changed after go-live
