Benefits of Odoo ERP in the Manufacturing Industry
Odoo ERP provides a comprehensive suite of tools to help manufacturing businesses optimize their processes. One of the key benefits is its ability to ensure that inventory levels are always adequate. After all manufacturing steps are completed, Odoo checks whether the inventory levels are sufficient. This is crucial to ensure that all necessary parts are ready by the time production is scheduled to start. If any issues with manufacturing or delivery arise, Odoo automatically creates a new manufacturing or purchase order to fill any gaps, ensuring that there are always enough parts in stock.
