Frequently Asked Questions
Odoo's core is universal, but its Manufacturing suite covers make-to-order reality — BOMs, routings, job costing, traceability. The metal-specific fit comes from us: years of industry experience and solutions we've already built for individual shop requirements.
Yes. We usually start with a workshop mapping your quote-to-cash flow, then roll out in stages — often a pilot area first — so the shop keeps running. You get a concrete, phased timeline.
It's modular and cloud-based — you pay for the apps you use and add more as you grow, keeping total cost low. The return comes from faster quoting, fewer overruns and less scrap.
No. Odoo connects to your CAD, nesting and existing tools and becomes the single source of truth — so you consolidate step by step instead of ripping everything out at once.
Odoo gives you cloud or on-premise hosting — ISO 27001-certified, encrypted, backed up and up to date. And beyond that, we at OBS offer our own hosting with extra services and stronger performance, especially valuable for European businesses with GDPR needs.
