About Client & Business Challenges
The client is an established metal packaging manufacturer at the regional level with developing business and in-house capabilities. At the project start-up, there was no ERP, so operations were on disjointed tools without an integrating platform for selling, inventory, or manufacturing.
For enhanced process transparency and less reliance on human-managed data processing, the customer chose to construct its ERP landscape from the ground up using Odoo 14 Enterprise, running on a private cloud, customized for 5–10 internal users.
Business Challenges
- Lack of Centralized Systems
There were activities happening across spreadsheets and QuickBooks, with no consolidated view of orders, production, or inventory.
- Manual Labeling & Reporting
Packaging, labeling, and document generation involved a lot of manual intervention and were not linked to real-time information.
- No Existing ERP Environment
The setup began from scratch, requiring full configuration, user onboarding, and custom development, without any historical data migration.
