Odoo covers most manufacturing operations without a line of custom code. But when your workflows genuinely require it, we build Python custom modules — documented, tested, and upgrade-safe. We don't bolt code onto standard modules. We extend Odoo the right way. Charlotte is a major automotive and energy manufacturing hub. Operations like Siemens Energy, Honeywell, ABB run on complex ERP environments — often on SAP, Oracle, Epicor — where implementations frequently go over budget or under-deliver because scope is defined by modules, not operations. Charlotte-area Automotive, Energy Infrastructure, Aerospace & Defense businesses are choosing Odoo for its flexibility, and choosing Metrotechs to govern the implementation so it fits the actual operation.
The difference between a successful Odoo implementation and a failed one in Charlotte is almost always the same: operational mapping before configuration. Businesses that define data contracts and workflow boundaries first go live on schedule. Those that start with modules almost never do.
Configure production management — work orders, BOMs, routing, shop floor control, and MRP. Aligned to your manufacturing model: make-to-stock, make-to-order, engineer-to-order, or mixed-mode.
Multi-location inventory management, lot tracking, serial tracking, bin management, and cycle counting. Configured for your warehouse layout and material flow, not generic defaults.
General ledger, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and cost accounting configured for your chart of accounts, cost centers, and reporting requirements. Multi-entity and multi-currency where needed.
Purchase orders, vendor management, blanket orders, drop-ship workflows, and approval routing. Configured to match your procurement policies and supplier agreements.
Sales orders, quoting, contract pricing, credit management, and order-to-cash workflows. Configured to handle your channel complexity — direct, dealer, distributor, and OEM.
Every configuration decision is documented with the business rationale. Your team inherits a configuration guide, not a mystery. Future changes and upgrades start from a known state.
Map your manufacturing, financial, and commercial processes to the ERP's module capabilities. Identify where native configuration fits and where gaps exist.
Design the module configuration based on operational requirements — not vendor defaults. Document every decision with the business reason and the stakeholder who approved it.
Configure modules in sprints with stakeholder review at each milestone. Business users validate configuration against real scenarios before proceeding.
End-to-end testing of configured modules using real transaction data and actual user workflows. Issues are fixed in configuration, not worked around with manual processes.
Role-based training on the configured system with reference documentation. Your team understands not just how to use it, but why it's configured the way it is.

By doing thorough operational modeling before configuration starts. Most custom development requests come from trying to replicate old workflows instead of adapting to Odoo's native approach. We challenge every custom request against Odoo's capabilities first.
Custom modules follow Odoo's standard module architecture — separate from the core, documented, and upgrade-safe. We track every custom module so your team knows exactly what's custom vs. standard at upgrade time.
Yes. Post-implementation optimization often starts with reconfiguring modules that were set up with defaults or wrong settings. We audit the current configuration, identify issues, and reconfigure with documentation.
Core module configuration typically takes 6–10 weeks for a mid-market manufacturer. This runs in parallel with data migration and integration work. Complex manufacturing environments with MTO/ETO workflows may take longer.
ERP projects fail more often than they succeed. Not because the software is bad, but because the selection and implementation process is vendor-led instead of operations-led. Here's what good looks like before you sign anything.
Odoo covers most manufacturing operations natively. But every operation has workflows where the standard modules fall short. We map your BOMs, pricing logic, warehouse complexity, and dealer channels against Odoo's capabilities — so you go into implementation with a realistic scope, not surprises at month three.
Every failed ERP implementation has one thing in common: they migrated 20 years of bad data into a new system and expected different results. We cleanse, validate, and migrate master data with gates at every stage — so your new ERP starts with data you can trust.
Odoo doesn't run in isolation. It connects to WMS, CRM, M2B Commerce, EDI, shipping, banking, and legacy systems — all hosted and managed on AWS. Without governed integration architecture, those connections become a fragile web of point-to-point scripts that break every time something changes.
ERP go-live is the highest-risk moment in the entire implementation. Orders are in flight, inventory is moving, and you're switching the system that governs all of it. We structure the cutover with rollback plans, validation gates, and hypercare support so your operation doesn't skip a beat.
Go-live is not the finish line — it's where the real optimization begins. Edge cases surface, users discover workarounds, and the configuration that worked in testing meets production reality. We monitor, tune, and optimize your ERP through the first 90 days and beyond so performance improves, not degrades.
The scariest moment in any migration is the cutover. We eliminate that fear by running old and new systems in parallel with automated reconciliation -- you switch over only when the new system has proven it produces the same results as the old one.
Big-bang migrations fail because they try to replace everything simultaneously. We decompose your legacy system into modules and replace them one at a time -- each phase is self-contained, tested, and reversible. Your operation never stops.
Most Odoo projects start with modules. Ours start with operational mapping. We define data contracts, integration boundaries, and go-live governance before a single module is configured.
When standard Odoo modules don't fit your manufacturing workflows, we build custom modules that extend Odoo without creating upgrade-blocking technical debt. Every custom module follows Odoo's ORM patterns and is designed to survive version upgrades.
Standard Odoo covers 80% of manufacturing needs. We close the remaining 20% with targeted customizations — module configuration, workflow adjustments, custom fields, and UI tailoring — without creating technical debt.
Odoo is rarely the only system on your floor. We integrate it with your WMS, CRM, e-commerce platform, EDI partners, shipping carriers, and legacy systems — governed by data contracts that prevent sync failures and data drift.
Metrotechs starts with the operating questions: which records are trusted, which workflows are manual, which systems own each decision, and where AI can safely improve throughput.
