Questions
ERP for manufacturing: common questions
What is agentic AI in ERP for a manufacturing company?
It is an AI agent connected to your Odoo that answers questions across sales, stock, production, purchase and accounts, prepares reports and suggests next steps. Users ask in plain words instead of opening several screens.
What is an ERP solution for manufacturing industries?
It is one system that connects sales, purchasing, inventory, production, quality, maintenance and accounting. Odoo does this on a single database, so every team sees the same live numbers.
Can Odoo handle bills of materials and subcontracting?
Yes. Odoo Manufacturing supports multi-level bills of materials, routings, work orders and subcontracting, with stock and cost updated automatically.
Can we move from spreadsheets or another system?
Yes. We migrate data from spreadsheets, legacy systems and older Odoo versions, and reconcile it with you before go-live.
How long does an implementation take?
It depends on the number of apps, plants and customisations. We agree the scope and plan in the discovery call and demo, before the project kicks off.
How is the project priced?
You can choose result-based pricing, with a 10% deposit and the balance on delivery, or hourly pricing for support and ongoing changes.
