Executive Summary
A leading textile manufacturer faced challenges in production planning, inventory control, quality checks, and order tracking due to fragmented systems. By implementing Odoo ERP, we streamlined the complete production lifecycle—from raw material procurement to finished goods delivery. The ERP solution provided real-time visibility, improved cost control, and enhanced customer satisfaction.
About the Client
The client is a textile manufacturer specializing in fabrics and garments, supplying to both domestic and international markets. With multiple production units, complex Bill of Materials (BOMs), and a wide product range, the company needed a robust ERP system to optimize operations and manage growing demand.
Challenges Faced
Inefficient Production Planning
Manual scheduling led to bottlenecks and delays in orders.
Raw Material Wastage
Lack of inventory tracking caused frequent shortages and over-purchasing.
Inaccurate BOM Costing
Difficulty in calculating true production costs across multiple operations.
Weak Quality Control
No standardized QC process across dyeing, weaving, and finishing stages.
Order Tracking Issues
Limited visibility into order status led to delays in customer commitments.
Disjointed Finance & Operations
Separate systems for sales, production, and accounting caused misalignment.
