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. 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.
Purpose-built Odoo modules for manufacturing-specific workflows: custom BOM structures, multi-level pricing logic, batch/lot traceability, and production scheduling rules that standard modules can't handle.
For Enterprise customers, we use Odoo Studio for rapid field additions, workflow automation, and report customization — keeping changes upgrade-safe and maintainable without writing Python.
Custom QWeb reports, manufacturing dashboards, and real-time KPI views built on Odoo's reporting framework. Operational visibility without third-party BI tools.
Automated actions, server actions, and scheduled jobs that eliminate manual steps in your manufacturing process — from auto-procurement to quality gate triggers.
Custom REST and XML-RPC endpoints for integration with external systems, IoT devices, barcode scanners, and third-party platforms that need to push or pull data from Odoo.
Audit existing custom Odoo modules for upgrade compatibility, performance issues, and security vulnerabilities. Refactor to follow Odoo ORM best practices.
Document the business requirement, map it against standard Odoo functionality, and define the gap. Only build what Odoo can't do out of the box.
Architecture document covering model design, views, security rules, and integration points. Reviewed and approved before development starts.
Build in 2-week sprints with demo at the end of each cycle. Stakeholders validate against real manufacturing scenarios, not test data.
Unit tests, integration tests, and user acceptance testing. Regression testing to ensure custom modules don't break standard Odoo functionality.
Staged deployment to production with rollback capability. Full technical and user documentation for ongoing maintenance.

Not if built correctly. We follow Odoo's ORM patterns, use the official API, and avoid monkey-patching core modules. Custom modules are designed to be upgrade-compatible — we test against the next Odoo version before deploying to production.
Yes. We audit third-party modules, fork when necessary, and extend via inheritance rather than direct modification. This keeps the original module updatable while adding your manufacturing-specific requirements.
Every custom module we build includes an upgrade compatibility assessment. When you upgrade Odoo versions, we migrate custom modules in a staging environment, run regression tests, and deploy only after full validation.
Python for backend logic and ORM models, XML for views and reports, JavaScript/OWL for frontend widgets and dashboards. We follow Odoo's official coding standards and linting rules.
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.
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.
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.
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.
