Production Management in Odoo with VK DATA ApS

VK DATA's experienced specialists in production and inventory optimisation

No production companies are the same, but the challenges are often the same: lack of transparency, manual entries, and inconsistent systems.

At VK DATA, we specialise in transforming complex workflows into streamlined digital processes. With in-depth knowledge of modern inventory management and production management, our consultants guide you safely around the typical pitfalls of system change. We ensure that your new IT landscape supports your daily operations from day one.

No more siloed work when production communicates with the entire business

In order for production to be efficient, there are many other parts of the company that must be in order:

  • Sales & CRM: The sales department can instantly see the current production capacity and raw material availability. This ensures accurate delivery times and happy customers, because you promise what you can actually deliver. Read more about structuring your sales here ​ 
  •  Warehouse & Logistics: As soon as a production order is completed, the inventory is automatically updated. The logistics department is immediately notified of which goods are ready for packing and shipping – completely error-free.
  • Efficient Inventory Management: Avoid costly production stops due to lack of raw materials – and avoid tying up unnecessary capital in an overcrowded warehouse. With Odoo inventory management, you ensure that the right components are available at exactly the right time (Just-In-Time). Read more about Odoo warehouse management here 
  • Automated Purchasing: The purchasing department automatically receives notifications for reordering based on minimum stock levels and planned production orders. This ensures sharp purchasing prices and optimal liquidity. Læs mere om hvordan Odoo kan give dig overblik over dine indkøb

Integrated quality assurance directly on the factory floor

Quality is not something you check only when the product is finished. With the Odoo quality assurance module, you integrate control points directly into your production routes and workflows.

  • Quality control upon receipt of goods: Catch defective raw materials before they even hit the production line, and return them immediately.
  • Real-time alerts: Operators on the factory floor can trigger quality alerts and maintenance requests directly from their touch screens/control panels without leaving their workstation.
  • Full traceability: All quality data is collected and stored centrally in Odoo. You always have complete documentation and history ready for audits or customer report requirements.



Prevent costly machine downtime with data-driven maintenance

Unforeseen downtime is expensive for both the bottom line and delivery times. With Odoo, you can shift from reactive firefighting to proactive, preventive maintenance.

Odoo automatically collects real-time data from your production machines and calculates key metrics such as:

  • MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures): Average operating time between machine failures.
  • MTTR (Mean Time To Repair): Average repair time when a failure occurs.
  • Preventive planning: The system calculates the statistically expected date for the next service need, allowing you to schedule maintenance at times when production is already halted (e.g., on weekends or between shifts).


Complete overview of capacity, routes, and bill of materials

Odoo gathers all your production master data in one place, so you can easily manage and optimise your complex processes:

  • Bill of Materials (BOM): Keep track of raw materials, semi-finished products, and waste percentages in dynamic and clear bills of materials.
  • Work centres & Routes: Define your machines and workstations with precise capacity and time factors. The system automatically measures your OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), so you can identify and eliminate your real bottlenecks.
  • Visual planning: Get a dynamic Gantt overview of the production schedule. See immediately which orders are ready to start and which are awaiting material or machine capacity.


Do you have advanced production? Bridging between R&D and production

If your company works with complex products, frequent design changes, or different product versions, you know the challenge of keeping production drawings and bills of materials synchronised.

With Odoo PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) and direct PLM CAD integration we closely connect your engineers and your production team:

  • CAD integration: Synchronise directly with market-leading CAD systems such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD, etc.
  • Control over versions (ECO): Handle engineering change orders smoothly. The system ensures that production always works from the latest approved version of the bill of materials and automatically archives old versions for historical reference.
  • No synchronisation hassle: Forget all about manual transfer between EBoM (Engineering Bill of Materials) and MBoM (Manufacturing Bill of Materials). Odoo automatically adjusts data across all departments on the same document.

Stronger internal communication reduces downtime

Technical changes and urgent orders often fail due to poor or slow communication. Odoo PLM centralises the entire company's communication network, so everyone works from the same truth:

  • Department-specific groups: Employees only receive the updates, messages, and approval requests that are relevant to their specific area of responsibility.
  • Simple and quick approval: Approval processes (e.g. for new drawings or amended bills of materials) are managed digitally by selected administrators with a single click.
  • Real-time discussions: Questions and discussions about specific documents, drawings, or bills of materials take place directly on the subject in Odoo. No more lost emails and yellow Post-it notes on the factory floor.
