HOW SYNOVATE CAN HELP

Practical support for your business.

Make production information usable

We map the journey from customer order to finished product, identify missing information and define ownership of product and production data. A reliable process comes before automation.

Connect the shop floor and office

We assess Odoo Manufacturing and Inventory against your production workflows, then configure the agreed process and test it with representative orders. Where machines or specialist systems hold essential data, we scope integrations separately.

Prepare people and data for launch

We help clean item records, validate opening stock, rehearse everyday transactions and train users by role. A phased rollout gives planners and operators time to build confidence.

Our ERP implementation services cover discovery, configuration, data preparation, testing and user training. When a standard workflow does not fit, we assess software development and integration against the value it would add. Odoo capabilities depend on the selected version, edition, apps and hosting plan.

SOLUTIONS IN CONTEXT

Illustrative Odoo case studies

These hypothetical scenarios show how Synovate could approach a business challenge. They are not completed client projects, testimonials or verified results.

ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO

A component manufacturer with disconnected planning

The challenge

A hypothetical component manufacturer maintains production plans in spreadsheets while purchasing works from emailed requests. Teams struggle to establish which order needs attention.

Proposed Odoo approach

Synovate would map order priorities, standardize product records and pilot a shared workflow using Odoo Manufacturing, Inventory and Purchase. The pilot would include delayed receipts and changes to demand.

What we would measure

Assess schedule adherence, time spent reconciling plans and material-related delays before expanding the rollout.

ILLUSTRATIVE SCENARIO

An assembly business preparing to scale

The challenge

A hypothetical assembly business adds new products faster than its teams can maintain consistent operating information.

Proposed Odoo approach

We would agree responsibility for product data, configure a repeatable production workflow in Odoo and train staff on a limited product group before adding more lines.

What we would measure

Track data corrections, manual handoffs and order completion visibility to decide whether the process is ready to scale.

A practical path to implementation

We begin with a working session to understand your current process and choose success measures. Next, we demonstrate the proposed workflow with sample data, review gaps and agree the rollout scope. Testing, migration checks and user training come before launch, followed by support and a review of what needs to improve.

Your Odoo questions

Can we keep specialist manufacturing software?

Yes, where it serves a clear need. We assess data ownership, available interfaces and update frequency before proposing an integration. Detailed scheduling or machine connectivity may require additional tools or development.

How do we start with Synovate?

Tell us about your current systems, the main challenge and the outcome you need. We will discuss a discovery scope before recommending an implementation plan.
