How a Manufacturer Boosted Productivity by 35% with Odoo Gantt View


Our client, a fast-growing manufacturer in the heavy machinery sector, was struggling with inefficiencies in its production processes. With multiple production lines and departments, they found it difficult to track work-in-progress, raw materials, and timelines. Communication across teams was fragmented, and their legacy system lacked the flexibility and real-time capabilities needed to scale.
Before implementing Odoo in the manufacturing industry, the client was hindered by several operational roadblocks:
- Manual Tracking of Production: All processes were tracked manually, leading to frequent delays and bottlenecks.
- Limited Visibility: Managers couldn’t get real-time insights into production stages, material availability, or final goods readiness.
- Poor Decision-Making: Lack of clear data made it difficult to plan effectively or react to workflow disruptions.
- Inefficient Communication: Teams relied heavily on calls and emails, slowing down coordination across departments.
Ksolves deployed the Odoo Gantt View module as a centralized production management tool. Here’s how we tackled the problem:
- End-to-End Visibility: The Gantt View offered a clear, visual timeline of production tasks, dependencies, and deadlines.
- Integrated Modules: We configured and integrated Odoo’s Manufacturing, Inventory, Purchase, and Planning modules to ensure seamless data flow and collaboration.
- Customized Workflows: The solution was tailored to match the client’s specific operations, including custom task triggers, raw material checkpoints, and automated updates across modules.
- Streamlined Manufacturing Process: The client now enjoys a clean, visual representation of task sequences, timelines, and resource allocation—all thanks to the Gantt interface.
- Elimination of Manual Tracking: Automation reduced dependency on spreadsheets and minimized errors, significantly accelerating production cycles.
- Enhanced Visibility Across Operations: Real-time data on raw materials, WIP (work-in-progress), and finished goods allows stakeholders to track everything at a glance.
- Improved Decision-Making: Managers can now identify bottlenecks, shift resources, and adjust schedules instantly—leading to more agile and informed decisions.
- 35% Productivity Increase: The combination of reduced delays, improved planning, and optimized resource utilization resulted in a measurable surge in output.
This project illustrates the power of Odoo manufacturing case study results in action. By replacing manual tracking with visual task management and integrating all operational data under one platform, Ksolves helped the client achieve transformational gains.
The client now plans to scale this solution across other production units and explore more advanced Odoo features, such as automated quality checks and maintenance alerts, to further optimize operations.
