ERP for project manufacturing — control, efficiency and on-time delivery

Challenges in project manufacturing

Project manufacturing can no longer be managed through spreadsheets and emails.
Companies handling multiple projects, drawing revisions and subcontractors face delays, untracked costs and poor visibility of actual progress.

Every drawing revision, deadline or material availability change affects the project. Scattered data makes it difficult to identify deviations and coordinate everyone in time.

Do you recognise these situations?

  • Projects run late without a clear overview of phases and tasks
  • Material, labour and external service costs are not linked to projects
  • Multiple versions of drawings and specifications
  • Subcontractors and assembly crews receive information too late
  • Inventory and purchasing are not aligned with production
  • Faults, complaints and non-conformities are recorded late, if at all

Our solution — Odoo ERP for project manufacturing

Uvid Odoo ERP provides full control over projects, resources and costs in real time.

Everyone, from sales and purchasing to manufacturing and assembly, works in one system with up-to-date project status information.

This helps you reduce downtime, losses and uncertaintywhile improving efficiency and delivery accuracy.

Key benefits for your company

  • Full visibility of projects, resources and costs
  • Fewer delays and lower rework costs
  • Better coordination across departments and subcontractors
  • Accurate data for real-time decisions

  • Measurable performance: OEE, project costs and ROI

A modular approach — highest-value phases first

Project manufacturing systems are implemented in phases, starting with the modules delivering the greatest business value.

Typically, this means resource planning and cost tracking, with advanced MES or CAD integrations introduced later without disruption.

This delivers quick results and steadily improves efficiency.
