Odoo rollout replacing spreadsheets for a UK manufacturer
Precision components manufacturer, Sheffield
- Challenge
- Sales, inventory and job costing lived in eleven interlinked spreadsheets maintained by one person whose departure would have taken the operational knowledge with them. Quoting a job meant manually checking material costs and machine time across three different files.
- Solution
- AGS implemented Odoo Sales, Inventory and Manufacturing with bill-of-materials-driven costing, so quotes pull live material and labour rates automatically. We migrated eight years of job history for costing comparisons and trained the team over a four-week phased rollout.
- Results
- Quote turnaround down from 2 days to under 2 hours
- 11 spreadsheets retired onto 1 system
- Costing errors on quotes down 90%
