Odoo PLM – Full control over product development and technical changes
Streamline your production management with real-time communication, precise version control of bills of materials (BoM) and seamless CAD integration. Avoid costly mistakes on the factory floor and shorten your time-to-market.
Faster approval of technical changes (ECO)
Effective management of technical changes (Engineering Change Orders) is all about one thing: Fast, precise and transparent communication. Odoo PLM removes bottlenecks by bringing your entire team together in one central system, so you can avoid slow approval processes via emails.
- Centralised discussions: All dialogue about product changes takes place directly on the relevant document or specific bill of materials in real-time.
- Simple approval flows: Approvals of ECOs are intuitively managed by administrators or project managers with just a few clicks.
- Rights-managed access: Employees only have access to the groups and documents that are relevant to their work, ensuring full focus and high data security.
Precise version control of bills of materials (BoM) without manual synchronisations
When engineering (EBoM) and production (MBoM) do not communicate, costly errors occur. Odoo PLM creates a single source of truth, where all departments always work on the same updated documents.
- Smart diff and merge features: Visually and precisely see what has changed between two versions of a bill of materials before you approve the changes.
- Parallel product development: Work on multiple versions of the same bill of materials (BoM) in parallel without disrupting ongoing production.
- Automatic ERP integration: When a change is approved in PLM, production routes, purchasing, and inventory are automatically updated.

Integrated document management ends with outdated drawings on the factory floor
Keep track of your CAD files, PDF drawings, spreadsheets and quality procedures directly in your ERP system. With Odoo PLM, the latest documents are always linked directly to your production.
Direct linkage
Attach technical drawings and instructions directly to the relevant bill of materials and routes.
Automatic process alerts
Pass on critical quality and design changes to production immediately via automatic trigger alerts on the operators' screens.
Secure revision control
Ensure that operators never work from an outdated drawing, as the system automatically archives older versions.

Frequently asked questions
Here are some frequently asked questions about our company.
When your Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is an integrated part of your ERP system (like Odoo), you avoid costly and error-prone integrations between separate systems. Changes in drawings or bills of materials (BoM) are immediately reflected across purchasing, inventory, and production.
Yes. Odoo PLM supports integration with leading CAD systems such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD, etc. This allows your engineers to upload drawings and update bills of materials directly from their familiar CAD environment.
An ECO (Engineering Change Order) is a structured process for proposing, reviewing, and approving changes to a product. Odoo PLM digitises this process with visual Kanban boards, defined approval flows, and full version history.
Absolutely. As Denmark's most experienced Odoo partner, VK DATA can tailor approval flows, document types, and integrations so that the system perfectly supports your existing workflows.
