Streamlining Operations in the Construction Workwear Industry with Odoo ERP

Client Overview

Our client is a construction workwear manufacturer and supplier, specializing in safety helmets, reflective jackets, boots, gloves, and other protective gear. Serving both B2B and B2C customers, they faced growing operational challenges due to rising demand, custom order requirements, and increasing supplier networks.

Challenges

Before adopting Odoo ERP, the client struggled with:

  • Complex Order Management - Managing bulk corporate orders alongside small retail sales was time-consuming.
  • Inventory Mismatches - Stock-outs of fast-moving safety gear and overstock of slow-moving items.
  • Manual Purchase Tracking - Lack of visibility on supplier deliveries and lead times.
  • Production Bottlenecks - Delays in manufacturing customized workwear with logos and company branding.
  • Disconnected Finance & Sales Data - Separate systems caused delays in invoicing, expense tracking, and profitability analysis.
