Three pain points that disappear
Problem
Outdated BOM in Excel
How we solve it
Versioned BOM in Odoo, multi-level, with kits and subcomponents.
Problem
Planning with post-its
How we solve it
Gantt view with capacity per work center, resources, visual planning.
Problem
Quality checked only at the end
How we solve it
Quality checkpoints per operation, alerts, tracked non-conformities.

How companies like yours use it
Use case
Workshop with make-to-order production (MTO)
You receive a customer order → it generates a manufacturing order with its BOM. Missing components are purchased automatically. The operator sees step-by-step instructions on a tablet.
Use case
Industry with sub-assemblies (MTS)
Multi-level BOM: a finished product made of sub-assemblies, each with its own BOM. Gantt planning respects dependencies between manufacturing orders.
Use case
Configurable product (ETO)
A product designed to order (e.g. special machinery). Each order triggers specific engineering. Version traceability per project.
What it includes
Multi-level BOM
Bills of materials with sub-assemblies, kits, variants. Versioning.
Gantt planning
Capacity per work center, shared resources, drag&drop.
Tablet on the shop floor
The operator sees step-by-step instructions, logs time, validates quality.
Preventive maintenance
Work orders per machine, calendar, spare parts, maintenance costs.
Integrated quality
Quality checkpoints per BOM, alerts, non-conformities, corrective actions.
MTO/MTS/ETO
Make-to-order, make-to-stock, engineer-to-order. Adaptable to any model.
Four phases. Zero surprises.
We map out your current operations, systems in use, teams involved and priorities. Result: a scope agreed in writing and a milestone plan.
We configure the module in your Odoo instance: fields, views, automations, integrations with neighboring modules. We iterate with you within a week.
If you are coming from another system, we migrate your data in staging. We validate balances, reconciliations and records point by point before go-live.
Your team learns in hands-on sessions using your real data. After go-live, you move onto monthly support with an SLA and hours for enhancements.
Frequently asked questions about Odoo Manufacturing
Does it support cascading sub-assemblies?
Yes. Multi-level BOM: the finished product has components that can in turn have their own BOM. No limit on levels.
How does it handle waste and scrap?
The operator records scrap in the manufacturing order upon validation. It is reflected in the production cost. Scrap reporting per BOM.
Does it support preventive maintenance orders?
Yes, with the MRP Maintenance module. Maintenance calendar per machine, pre-assigned spare parts, tracked costs.
Does it allow batch production with lots?
Yes. Manufacturing orders with production lots and unit counts. Lot traceability of the finished product + consumed components.
It integrates with the rest of your Odoo
No duplicated data. No broken syncs.
Why manage manufacturing with Odoo
Odoo Manufacturing controls production orders, bills of materials and operations linked to inventory. You know what is being made, which materials are needed and when it will be ready.
By consuming components from the same stock as purchasing and sales, inventory reflects the reality of the shop floor in real time and material shortages are avoided.
For workshops and small factories it is a way to organize production without isolated software. We tailor it to your production process.
Shop-floor control without the hassle
You do not need a complex industrial system to organize small-scale production. With Odoo Manufacturing you define clear bills of materials and work orders, and inventory reflects what comes in and out of the shop floor in real time. At Nextdoo we adapt it to your specific process, from custom workshops to batch production, so you always know what you are making, with which materials and when it will be ready, with no parallel spreadsheets.
