— The complete stack

Not just MRP.
The whole factory, connected.

PHC ships an MRP module. Odoo ships an entire manufacturing platform — nine native apps that talk to each other out of the box, plus everything else (CRM, sales, accounting, HR) on the same database.

Core

Manufacturing (MRP)

Multi-level BOMs, work orders, by-products, scheduling, capacity planning, real-time costing.

Inventory

Multi-warehouse, lots, serial numbers, automated transfers, putaway/removal strategies.

Purchase

Supplier management, RFQs, auto-replenishment rules, lead-time scheduling, vendor pricelists.

Barcode

Scan receptions, transfers, productions and pickings on Android tablets — offline-tolerant.

Quality

Quality control points, in-process & final checks, alerts, non-conformity tracking.

Maintenance

Preventive & corrective maintenance, MTBF/MTTR, calendar planning per machine.

PLM

Engineering Change Orders, version control on BOMs and routings, change approvals.

Shop Floor

Tablet UI for operators — start, pause, finish work orders, scan barcodes, log issues.

— Spotlight: Shop Floor

Real-time. On the floor. On tablets.

The Shop Floor app is what makes Odoo MRP feel alive. Operators get a clean, tablet-first interface to start, pause, and complete work orders. Every action updates the system in real time — production status, stock movements, KPIs.

  • Live work order timerBuilt-in stopwatch per operation. Track real cycle times vs theoretical, automatically.
  • Inline barcode scanningComponents consumed by scan, finished goods declared by scan. Stock is always accurate.
  • Quality checks at the postSpot checks pop up at the right moment in the workflow — no separate tools, no skipped steps.
  • Floor-wide visibilityForeman and managers see live throughput, OEE and bottlenecks on shared dashboards.
  • Offline-tolerantPatchy WiFi at the back of the warehouse? The tablet keeps working and syncs when reconnected.

— Real capabilities, not buzzwords

What you actually get out of the box.

No advanced features hidden behind extra licenses. No PLM module sold separately. Standard Odoo Enterprise covers the whole list.

01

Multi-level BOMs

Phantom BOMs, kits, variants by attribute, by-products, scrap. Configure once, reuse everywhere.

02

Capacity-aware MRP

Schedule work centers with real available hours. Bottlenecks surface in the Gantt before they hurt.

03

Auto-replenishment

Min/max rules, master production schedule, lead-time scheduling. Raw materials show up before you ask.

04

Lot & serial traceability

Track every batch from supplier reception to finished good. Decathlon-grade audit trails.

05

Real costing

Standard, average and FIFO cost methods. Real-time WIP value. Margin per finished good, per work order.

06

Engineering Change Orders

Approval workflow on BOM and routing changes. Full version history. Roll back anytime.

— Now · Odoo AI agent

An AI agent on the factory floor.

Odoo's native AI agent is plugged into the same database as your MRP. It can read, summarize and act on actual production data — no integration project, no separate vendor.

01 · Plain-language reports

Ask questions, get charts.

Production, sales and finance data on the same DB. The agent queries it like a colleague.

Qual foi a taxa de entrega no prazo da Decathlon este mês? Mostra-me um gráfico por semana.
02 · MRP recommendations

Smart batching & scheduling.

The agent watches order flow and proposes batching, grouped purchases, capacity adjustments.

03 · Predictive alerts

Catch issues before they ship.

Detects patterns in defect rates, machine downtime, lead-time slippages. Flags them in Slack/Teams.

04 · Multilingual customer service

PT · EN · FR on order status.

Customer emails about order status answered automatically with live ERP data — in their language.

Native Shop Floor + Barcode apps on iOS/Android
Mobile via PHC Move — limited scope
AI & automation
Native AI agent, MCP server, structured schema
AI features in early roadmap
Customization
Pure Python + JS — Studio for no-code, modules for code
PHC-CS proprietary scripting
Cost model
SaaS per user, all apps included
Per module + per user — adds up fast
Community
7M+ users worldwide, open-source ecosystem
PT/PALOP-focused, smaller community
