Odoo for Manufacturers
Bills of materials that match what gets built, inventory you can trust, and engineering change under control. Odoo implementation and recovery for discrete manufacturers, nationwide.
Most manufacturing ERP problems start with operations, not software. When the BOM says one thing and the build says another, work orders get skipped, inventory drifts, and nobody knows what a job really cost until after it shipped. Fixing that is operations work first and Odoo configuration second.
Who this is for
- Discrete manufacturers, typically $8M and up
- Machining and fabrication -- job shops, build-to-print, close-tolerance work
- Electro-mechanical and PCBA assembly -- deep BOMs, serialized units, engineering change control
- Molding and forming -- injection, roto-molding, fiberglass heat forming and layered forming
- Contract manufacturing -- multi-customer routings, customer-owned inventory, revision control
- Regulated shops included: AS9100 aerospace and ISO 13485 medical device
- Already on Odoo, and it is not working: see Odoo Recovery
Process manufacturing is not a fit. The work here is discrete manufacturing.
What we scope as standard
Manufacturing
The five standard areas
- Sales and order management -- quoting, order entry, pricing, customer master
- Supply chain -- inventory, purchasing, shipping and receiving, planning, MRP
- Manufacturing -- BOMs, routings, work orders, capacity, shop-floor execution
- Engineering change control -- revision control, ECO workflow, effectivity
- Accounting -- GL, AR, AP, costing
Manufacturing
What moves you to the Full tier
- Quality management
- Serialization and full traceability
- EDI
- Shop-floor data capture
- Maintenance or field service
- Job costing as its own discipline
- Customer or vendor portals
- Multi-site or multi-company
AS9100 and ISO 13485 shops land on Full, because quality and serialization are part of the scope.
What it costs
The same published pricing as every engagement. Nothing is quoted from a sales call.
Stage 1
ERP Readiness Assessment
$1,750
A written verdict: ready, or not ready, and what has to be in place first.
Stage 2
Business Assessment
$7,500 or $12,500
How the business should run, mapped to Odoo before anything is built.
Stage 3
Odoo Implementation
$50,000–$300,000
Seats, functions, data condition, and integrations move the number.
Already on Odoo? Fixed-fee recovery is $6,500 (Focused) or $14,500 (Full). After go-live, monthly support starts at $2,500. Full detail and credits are on What It Costs.
