Know what a production run actually cost, not next month
Production planning, bills of materials, and shop floor tracking, all on one system instead
of a spreadsheet running alongside your ERP.
—= Who this is for =—
You Find Out the Margin Was Bad After the Job Is Done
Actual cost per production run only gets calculated at month-end, by which point the order that lost money is long finished.
Your BOM Says One Thing, the Floor Does Another
Bills of materials that were accurate on day one have drifted from what actually happens during production, and purchasing is ordering against numbers nobody trusts.
The Shop Floor and the Office Don't Talk
Time on a job, material actually used, and progress against the plan exist somewhere on paper or in someone's head, not in a system anyone else can see.
—= What Odoo does for manufacturing =—
Production planning and bills of materials
Work centers, routings, and BOMs connected directly to purchasing and stock, so a production order is based on real numbers, not what the spreadsheet said last quarter.
Shop floor devices, not paperwork
Operators log time, material use, and progress directly from a tablet or terminal on the floor.
No full user license required per operator, which matters once you have more than a handful of people on the line.
IoT Box for connecting real hardware
Odoo's IoT Box connects barcode scanners, label printers, weighing scales, and other shop floor devices directly into the system, so a scan or a weigh-in updates Odoo in real time instead of getting keyed in later.
Lot and serial traceability
Track a finished product back to the raw material batch it came from, or forward from a supplier lot to every order it touched, in both directions.
Real-time costing, not a month-end surprise
Actual cost per production order, tracked as it happens, so a losing job shows up while there is still time to do something about it.
Why eXcen for this
We configure Odoo for manufacturing operations in Bahrain, connecting production planning, shop floor devices, and costing into one system rather than treating manufacturing as a retail setup with extra steps.
—= FAQ =—
Yes.
Odoo supports multi-level BOMs, product variants, and subcontracting, configured to match how your production actually runs, not a simplified version of it.
No.
Shop floor access for logging time, materials, and progress does not require a full user license, which keeps the cost realistic for teams with several operators on the floor.
The IoT Box is a small device that connects barcode scanners, printers, scales, and similar shop floor equipment to Odoo directly.
Most standard hardware is compatible, and we confirm specifics during a consultation.
Yes.
Lot and serial traceability works in both directions, from raw material to finished product and back, which matters for quality issues and recalls.
Depends on production complexity, number of product lines, and how much shop floor hardware is involved. We'll give you a specific estimate after discovery.
Get real production costs, not a month-end guess.
A straight read on what a manufacturing setup would actually involve, before anything is scoped.
