Streamlining Inventory for a Bearing Manufacturer with Odoo ERP
Case Study: Bearing Manufacturer
How a 20+ year old bearing manufacturer improved inventory accuracy, reduced stockouts, and streamlined operations using Odoo ERP.
🏭 Background
This manufacturer supplies deep groove ball bearings and cylindrical roller bearings across western India. With growing SKUs, vendors, and customers, manual systems (Excel, Tally, WhatsApp) were no longer sufficient.
⚠️ Key Challenges
Stock updates lagged 2–3 days, causing production disruptions.
Procurement based on memory → overstock & stockouts.
Production, purchase, and inventory were not linked.
Invoices generated 2–3 days late → cash flow impact.
Hard to track batch, raw material, and production history.
⚙️ The Solution: Odoo ERP
Sunray Datalinks implemented Odoo ERP across Inventory, Manufacturing, Purchase, Sales, and Accounting in 3 phases over 8 weeks.
Real-time stock + automatic reorder rules.
BoM setup, production tracking, and work centre visibility.
Auto invoicing linked with dispatch & GST compliance.
