Manufacturing ERP & Business Systems
Odoo implementation for Wisconsin makers, fabricators, assemblers, and industrial product companies running on QuickBooks plus a stack of disconnected tools, or stuck on aging ERPs that nobody wants to maintain.
Where manufacturing systems break
Most manufacturers we meet are running half a dozen tools that don't talk to each other. Sales, production, inventory, and accounting each have their own version of the truth. These are the patterns we hear most often.
Reps quoting wrong combinations
Configured products with dozens of options where engineering rules are not enforced. Bad quotes turn into bad orders.
Inventory disconnected from sales
Sales promises lead times production cannot hit. Or inventory says "in stock" but the bin is empty.
Bills of materials in spreadsheets
Engineering keeps the BOM in Excel. Costing is a guess. Margins are a mystery until invoice time.
Production schedule by whiteboard
The shop floor runs on a daily huddle, paper travelers, and tribal knowledge. A key person leaves and the schedule breaks.
Multi-warehouse blindspots
Stock at warehouse A cannot be seen by warehouse B. Customers get told "out of stock" when product is two states away.
QuickBooks at scale
QuickBooks file is 5+ years old, slow, and has a dozen chart-of-accounts patches. Year-end takes weeks.
Odoo modules that fit manufacturing
Odoo is one platform covering quote-to-cash and BOM-to-invoice. These are the modules we deploy most often for manufacturers, configured to your processes — not a generic install.
Manufacturing is one of our deepest verticals
DewWow has shipped work for industrial bulk container manufacturers, engineering software companies, industrial filter businesses, and print and packaging operations. Some of that work has been on Salesforce CPQ for global manufacturers. The patterns translate directly to Odoo's manufacturing and inventory modules.
We focus on the parts of the system that actually move the business: the product configurator that prevents bad quotes, the BOM that makes costing real, the inventory model that lets sales tell customers the truth about lead times, and the routing that keeps the shop floor on schedule.
We build for the second year of operation, not just go-live. The system you launch should still work when you double the SKU count, add a second warehouse, or onboard a contract manufacturer.
Manufacturing capabilities we build
- Configurable product models with engineering rule enforcement
- Multi-level BOMs with phantom and kit assemblies
- Multi-warehouse inventory with lot and serial tracking
- Quality control at receipt, in-process, and final inspection
- Engineering change orders and BOM versioning
- Production scheduling integrated with capacity planning
- Costing methods (standard, average, FIFO) with margin reporting
- Vendor pricelists, blanket POs, and approval routing
How manufacturing implementations usually fit
All packages include discovery, configuration, training, and documentation. New customers receive 15% off their first engagement.
For when you want to scope the right path before committing to a full implementation.
Small-to-mid shop, single location, basic BOM, sales-to-production flow.
Multi-warehouse, configurable products, custom workflows and integrations.
Multi-site, multi-entity, ETO complexity, custom modules, integrations.

Bring your three biggest pain points and we'll tell you straight whether Odoo is the right fit, what it would take to implement, and what it should cost. No pressure, no quota.
