Odoo for Manufactoring

Plan production, track every part and know your real margins. All in one system, set up for the way your factory works.
We are trusted by startups, small, and medium-sized companies:

In every manufacturing business, there are dozens of handoffs between a customer order and delivery: from sales to planning, from planning to the shop floor, from the shop floor to shipping. The companies that grow well are the ones where every one of those handoffs works without anyone having to pick up the phone. That's the standard I measure every Odoo implementation against, and it's exactly what my team and I at Knowlix work towards.

The Challenge

Busy shop floor. Blind office.

Most manufacturers outgrow their tools long before they notice. These are the signs.

01

Plans that break

Production lives in spreadsheets. One late delivery and the whole week falls apart.

02

Stock nobody trusts

You only know what's on the shelf when someone walks to the warehouse and counts.

03

Quality on paper

Checks are noted by hand, filed somewhere and impossible to trace when a customer complains.

How Odoo fixes it

One system from first order to final invoice

Odoo connects production, stock, purchasing, quality and finance. Everyone works from the same live numbers.

Plan with real data

Bills of materials, work orders and machine capacity in one view. Change one order and the plan updates itself.

Stock you can trust

Live stock levels across every warehouse, automatic reordering and full serial and lot tracking.

Quality built in

Checks and alerts at every step of production. Every batch is traceable back to its parts and supplier.

Know your real costs

Every material, machine hour and labour hour flows straight into accounting. See the true margin per product.

From order to delivery

Follow one order through the factory

Every step picks up where the last one stopped. Nobody types the same data twice.

01
Sales

Order comes in

A confirmed sales order triggers production automatically, with a delivery date you can actually keep.

02
Manufacturing

Materials are planned

The bill of materials shows what's needed. Missing parts are flagged straight away.

03
Purchase

Parts are ordered

Purchase orders go out to the right suppliers, based on reorder rules and lead times.

04
Manufacturing · Quality

Production runs

Work orders guide the shop floor. Quality checks happen at each step, not at the end.

05
Inventory · Invoicing

Goods shipped. Invoice out

Finished products are shipped with full traceability. The invoice is created from the order.

Don't take our word for it

Leaders love it.

As a one-person business, I can't afford to lose time on admin. Before Knowlix, managing proposals and orders manually through emails and Excel was exhausting and time-consuming. Now I use one centralized tool where I can easily track my proposals, orders, and deliveries. It has streamlined my workflow, saved me countless hours, and allowed me to focus more on the work that actually matters
Lisa Meier
Founder & Designer, Oneshot Design
We spent months testing tools that promised results but never delivered what we actually needed. Everything felt disconnected and overly complex, and we were drowning in administrative work. Deep down, we knew what the solution should look like. We just needed the right partner to bring it to life. Then Knowlix changed everything.

By working with Knowlix, and their AI features, we've streamlined our operations, significantly reduced downtime, and elevated the quality of service we provide to our customers.

With Knowlix, we found not only great employees but also people who fit our culture. The recruitment process was quick.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Is Odoo good for manufacturing?

Yes. Odoo Manufacturing covers bills of materials, work orders, work centres and production planning, and connects to Inventory, Purchase, Quality and Maintenance in one system.

Can Odoo plan production based on orders and stock?

Yes. Replenishment rules and make-to-order routes create manufacturing and purchase orders automatically when stock runs low or a sales order comes in.

Does Odoo support quality checks and machine maintenance?

Yes. The Quality app adds checks and alerts to your production steps, and the Maintenance app plans preventive and corrective maintenance for your equipment.

Can Odoo calculate production costs?

Yes. Odoo calculates product costs from components and operation times on your work centres, so you can compare planned and actual costs.

How long does it take to set up Odoo for manufacturing?

It depends on your products, routings and the data to migrate. Knowlix uses AI-assisted setup and gives you a clear price and go-live date after the requirements workshop.
