The most complete ERP you can find
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
It is our ERP for daily use, in which we record the purchases we make, the sales we make to our clients, the quotes that we send them according to the requirements that our clients make to us daily, we also manage our product inventory and additionally we also manage our merchandising stock that we use for the visits made by people from the sales department when they are trying to attract new clients.It has helped us to have more order in the sense that before we made quotes in Excel files and sometimes we lost the files, with Odoo the saving is automatic, simpler, there are no complications
Pros
- The creation of products is extremely simple, I like that it does not complicate you to put a lot of detail, of course if you want to put more detailed information later it allows you to do it without problems
- The fact that I can manage my inventory of my warehouse is very convenient, I only generate my stock report of the products we have in stock and taking inventory is easier
- The management of opportunities in the CRM is also great, because the guys from the sales department generate their opportunity, place what their client is requiring and we, the logisticians, can automatically generate the quote for what they are requesting, and from there they can only download their quote and send it to their clients.
Cons
- We are currently testing Odoo with another provider and it has some more functions than the previous version that we were using, and something that I see perhaps that could be improved would be in the projects part, where the tasks carried out are recorded, it would be great if perhaps there was a counter that tells you the start time and when you finish your task, click again and it will be more accurate
- Another detail to improve from my point of view would be when generating the electronic guides, although we have a good order, it sometimes happens that the same system separates certain products and makes jumps in the correlatives of the guide numbers, and this could generate inconveniences if we have an audit, this happens if a purchase order is confirmed today, for example but the guide is generated in 2 weeks, the day the order was confirmed I set aside a guide number but At the time of generating said guide, it takes the following correlative that corresponds, making us lose the guide number set out at the beginning.
- And another point to improve or well it is a point that I have seen that should be improved is that sometimes when the release guide for a product is being issued, this product is not discounted from the actual inventory stock, I don't know if it is an internal error, but it has been happening and it happened very frequently a couple of years ago, the good thing is that we also keep an inventory in a separate cardex and in this way we can corroborate the exact reality
Return on Investment
- It has helped us improve our purchasing and sales flow, now it is more organized, we can see which product was purchased from which supplier and which price is more convenient, very good
- It helps to manage payments efficiently, and in less time than when it was managed manually, so it is a positive point that we can rescue in our organization.
- In my case, managing inventory helps me more easily locate the most specific products that I require. Currently, we do not have details of mismatches with the products, so my inventory and my stock are kept perfectly updated.
