Odoo Metal ERP: Transforming the Metal Industry

In the dynamic world of the metal industry, a seamless and integrated solution is essential to meet complex requirements and conquer unique challenges. Our Odoo Metal ERP offers all that in a  comprehensive suite of business management tools tailored for your specific metal business. Let’s dive into how Odoo Metal ERP can revolutionize operations in your industry:

What Our Odoo Metal ERP Software Offers?

Production Analytics: With Odoo ERP, you can closely monitor and control your production cycle to ensure efficient and timely order fulfillment. Production Analytics Reports provide an aggregated view of your production status, helping metal manufacturers make informed decisions.	Item Variants: Metal businesses frequently deal with a wide range of product permutations, such as different finishes or lengths. Odoo Metal ERP allows you to manage these variations through Item Variants, where the primary item is stored as a template, and each variation is stored as an item variant.
Multi-Level Bill of Material (BOM) Management: Odoo offers robust BOM management capabilities for metal fabrication. Whether your BOMs have operations or not, and whether they are single-level or multi-level, Odoo streamlines the creation and management of BOMs for your metal products.	Shop Floor Management: For metal fabrication businesses, efficient shop floor management is crucial. Odoo’s Shop Floor Management module includes features like Job Cards, Operations, and Workstations, allowing real-time monitoring of activities on the shop floor.
Material Resource Planning (MRP): Odoo simplifies material procurement and production planning for metal products when dealing with numerous variants. The MRP functionality in Odoo helps you track material consumption and optimize resource utilization.	Subcontracting: Metal fabrication often involves outsourcing specific processes. Odoo’s Subcontracting feature allows you to easily manage outsourced activities, such as drawing or packaging, by supplying raw materials to third-party distributors or suppliers and tracking all related activities.
Capacity Planning: Optimize your workstations and eliminate production bottlenecks with Capacity Planning in Odoo. You can maintain and manage planning schedules for a predefined period, ensuring efficient resource allocation.	Batched Inventory: Odoo supports the management of batched inventory, which is particularly useful for metal businesses producing products in batches. You can track manufacturing and expiration dates, scan item barcodes, and make data-driven decisions for batched stock.
Multiple Units of Measurement: Odoo allows you to manage various units of measurement for your inventory and set up conversion factors in the Item master. This ensures smooth sales, purchases, and stock transactions, with all conversions handled seamlessly.	Supplier Portal: Odoo offers a Supplier Portal, enabling effective communication and collaboration with suppliers. Suppliers can submit requests for quotations, access ongoing purchase orders and receipts, and raise purchase invoices for fulfilled orders. This feature streamlines the procurement process.
Stock Replenishment: Prevent stockouts by setting reorder levels in Odoo. When stock levels fall below the reorder point, Odoo automatically generates material requests, ensuring timely inventory replenishment and reducing the risk of stock exhaustion.	On-The-Fly Customizations: Customize your Odoo ERP system to match your specific metal manufacturing needs without coding. You can add custom fields, adjust form behavior, and create custom print formats to adapt the system to your requirements.
Multilingual Support: Odoo supports over 100 languages, making it accessible and user-friendly for metal businesses operating globally or with multilingual workforces. This multilingual support fosters inclusivity and ease of use.	Self-Onboarding & Empowerment:  Odoo provides comprehensive documentation and video tutorials for self-onboarding, enabling a smooth and rapid implementation process. This DIY approach empowers organizations to achieve manufacturing excellence with Odoo ERP.
