ERP and CRM System for Manufacturing Automation based on Odoo
From customer order to finished product — all in one system. Plan manufacturing orders, track raw material consumption, and calculate actual production costs without Excel or unnecessary integrations.
What tasks solved by ERP Odoo in manufacturing
If your manufacturing operation faces even one of these problems, Odoo can help solve it.
Equipment downtime
Manufacturing orders are queued manually. Some work centers remain idle while others are overloaded, creating an unbalanced production schedule.
Gap between plan and fact
The planned consumption of raw materials does not coincide with the actual consumption - you do not know where the losses occur, and you cannot quickly adjust the standards.
Lack of cost transparency
When raw material prices change, the real impact on margins becomes visible too late — sometimes only after the order has already been shipped.
Detachment of sales from the shop
Sales managers promise customers deadlines without seeing the actual production load. The result is missed deadlines.
No defect tracking
There is no systematic record of defects, their causes, or their impact on the final batch cost. As a result, the same problems keep recurring.
Manual purchasing planning
Raw material purchases are planned manually, without being linked to the production schedule. This leads either to material shortages or excess inventory.

Frequently asked questions about ERP for manufacturing
An ERP system for manufacturing is software that brings together all business processes of a manufacturing company — from material purchasing and inventory management to production operations, quality control, sales, and accounting. Modern manufacturing ERP systems create a unified information environment where all departments work with up-to-date data in real time.
Yes. This is one of Odoo’s key advantages. It includes a full-featured CRM for manufacturing and sales that is seamlessly integrated with the manufacturing module. Sales managers can see product availability and production lead times, while the production team can automatically receive manufacturing orders once a sale is confirmed.
Manufacturing cost accounting automation in Odoo is highly transparent. The system automatically collects data on the cost of consumed raw materials, equipment usage, and employee working time based on configured operations and routing, allowing you to calculate the actual cost of each finished product accurately.
The implementation timeline depends on the size of the company and the complexity of its processes. Basic manufacturing automation in an ERP system — including inventory, sales, and simple Bills of Materials (BoMs) — can take around 1–2 months. More complex projects involving advanced planning (MRP), finance, and additional integrations require an individual assessment.
Yes. Odoo has an open API that allows it to be integrated with almost any system, including 1C, BAS, banking services, payment systems, and other business tools. Odoo also has its own full-featured Accounting module, which can replace a separate accounting system in many cases.
Odoo supports a Ukrainian-language interface. To ensure compliance with Ukrainian legal and accounting requirements, including VAT, tax invoices, and statutory reporting, specialized localization modules are used. The Codoo ERP team can configure them according to your business needs.
That is why we start every project with a free consultation and a detailed business analysis. At this stage, we determine whether Odoo matches your requirements and will tell you directly if another solution would be more suitable for your case. The implementation is carried out step by step, allowing you to evaluate the results at each stage before moving forward.
