Odoo ERP for Manufacturing Businesses
Run production, inventory, quality, and costing from one system. GritXi implements and customizes Odoo Manufacturing to help you plan production accurately, track materials in real time, and eliminate the disconnect between shop floor and back office.
Connect Work Orders, Material Availability, and Costing in Real Time.
Manufacturers deal with a moving target — raw material availability, work order scheduling, machine capacity, and quality checks all have to line up, often across multiple production stages. When production, inventory, and accounting run on separate systems, costs get miscalculated, materials run short mid-production, and management finds out about delays after they've already happened.
GritXi helps manufacturers implement Odoo's Manufacturing (MRP), Inventory, Quality, and Accounting modules as one connected system, giving production teams and management the same real-time picture of what's happening on the shop floor.
Production Planning
Dynamic Gantt scheduling, machine capacity & work center load balancing.
Shop Floor Tablet
Real-time worker routing, time tracking & interactive step-by-step instructions.
Material MRP
Multi-level BOM explosion, auto-replenishment & batch/serial traceability.
Work Order Costing
Automated capture of direct labor, raw materials & machine overhead.
Common Manufacturing Challenges We Solve
Spreadsheets and disconnected MRP software create production bottlenecks, material waste, and eroded margins. Here is what we resolve.
Production planning done on spreadsheets
Work orders, machine schedules, and material requirements are tracked manually, leading to shop floor bottlenecks and missed customer delivery dates.
Raw material shortages mid-production
Inventory isn't linked to live production schedules, so critical material shortages surface only after a work order is already underway.
No accurate view of production costs
Direct labor hours, raw material scrap, and machine overhead costs aren't tracked per work order, making it impossible to know true product-level margins.
Quality issues caught too late
Without inspection checkpoints built directly into work center routings, defects are discovered only after the finished batch is assembled or shipped.
Disconnected shop floor and back office
Production status updates reach management hours or days late, making it difficult to reallocate resources or respond to machine breakdowns in real time.
How Odoo Solves This
An integrated MRP II ecosystem that synchronizes master production scheduling, shop floor tablets, quality gates, and live work order costing.
Production Planning & Scheduling
Plan work orders against real work center capacity and material availability, with automated Gantt scheduling that adjusts dynamically as conditions change.
Real-Time MRP & BOM Management
Bills of Materials (BOM) and automated MRP calculate exact material quantities and lead times, triggering automatic purchase orders before shortages occur.
Shop Floor Control
Work orders, routing operations, PDF work instructions, and barcode timer tracking are visible in real time so management knows job progress instantly.
Quality Checkpoints
Build mandatory quality control points directly into manufacturing routing stages, catching defects at the source with pass/fail and measurement limits.
Accurate Production Costing
Direct labor, consumed materials, machine run-time costs, and overhead are tracked per work order automatically, yielding precise unit margins.
Integrated Inventory & Procurement
Raw material stock, Work-in-Progress (WIP), and finished goods are tracked under one unified ledger, with reordering rules tied to live production demands.

Tailored for Every Manufacturing Mode
Whether your plant operates under discrete assembly, continuous process recipes, custom job orders, or make-to-order models, Odoo configures to your workflow.
Discrete Manufacturers
Multi-level BOM management, nested sub-assemblies, work center capacity planning, and routing operations with barcode time logging.
Process Manufacturers
Batch and continuous production, formula-based BOMs, ingredient yield ratios, by-products management, and quality control at each blending stage.
Contract Manufacturers
Precise job costing per client order, customer-supplied material tracking, subcontracting operations, and milestone-based project billing.
Assembly-Based Manufacturers
Kitting, sub-assembly tracking, serial and lot number full-chain traceability, and automated pick-to-order component staging.
Make-to-Order Manufacturers
Manufacturing orders triggered directly from confirmed customer sales orders, product configurators, and real-time material stock availability checks.
How a German Precision Manufacturer Hit 99.4% On-Time Delivery with Odoo Shop Floor MRP
A high-mix precision engineering manufacturer running 3 plants and 18 work centers replaced paper job travelers and disconnected BOM tracking with an interactive shop floor MRP II platform, built and delivered by GritXi Technologies in 12 months.
- Paper job travelers created a 24 to 48 hour reporting lag for management
- Engineering change orders failed to reach active floor, causing reworks
- Uncoordinated work center scheduling caused idle time and delays
- Scrap, labor variance, and unit cost only calculated on month-end sheets
