Why Odoo, when it’s the right call
Odoo is modular -- start with accounting and inventory, add CRM, manufacturing, and reporting as you need them. It’s not the only ERP that works for a shop typically $8M and up, but it’s the one we implement, and we’ll tell you if it’s not the right fit for your operation

Who runs it
Lee Stout leads every engagement -- 25 years running MRP and ERP from inside discrete manufacturing operations. Since 2014, architecting and implementing it from the IT side. No account rep, no handoff to a junior consultant
What we cover
Four things a real ERP plan has to answer
- Job costing & margin -- What should this job actually cost, and where’s the current plan wrong?
- Inventory & BOM integrity -- Can you trust the numbers, and is the bill of materials the real one?
- System fit -- What do you keep, what do you replace, what do you connect?
- Sequencing & cost -- What gets built first, and what does each phase actually run?
