Overview
A growing automation and engineering firm partnered with Techvoot Solutions to eliminate operational silos across sales, engineering, production, inventory, and maintenance functions. The organisation needed a centralized ERP platform capable of managing complex engineering revisions, project costing, production planning, and after-sales services. By implementing a customised Odoo ERP solution, the company improved operational visibility, reduced engineering errors, and accelerated project delivery across departments.

- Strengthen Inventory Visibility: Track components, raw materials, and finished products in real time.
- Improve Project Profitability: Monitor project costs, margins, and performance through live reporting.
- Digitize Service Management: Automate maintenance schedules, service contracts, and field service operations.
- Enable Data-Driven Decisions: Provide leadership with real-time operational and financial visibility.
The Challenges
The automation firm relied on disconnected systems and manual processes that created inefficiencies across engineering, production, and service operations. These challenges limited visibility, increased errors, and slowed project execution.
Lack of Design Version Control
Engineering teams struggled to manage revisions and approvals, resulting in design inconsistencies and rework.
Slow Quotation Processes
Manual quotation creation and approvals delayed customer responses and affected conversion rates.
Disconnected Operational Functions
Engineering, production, procurement, and inventory teams operated with limited coordination and visibility.
Inefficient Production Planning
Production schedules lacked real-time alignment with project requirements and inventory availability.
Limited Cost Visibility
The organisation had difficulty tracking project costs, profitability, and resource utilisation accurately.
Poor Maintenance Coordination
Service contracts, maintenance schedules, and customer support activities were managed manually, increasing operational overhead.
