Digitizing Textile Manufacturing with Odoo ERP

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.

Textile Case Study

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.
