Case on Odoo
The context
Family-run performance boat builder streamlining its operations with Odoo
Blazer Boats is a family-run manufacturer based in Pensacola, Florida, building high-performance bass and bay boats and serving as an industry leader for anglers who demand control and manoeuvrability on the water.
Before the project, Blazer Boats was growing as a specialist boat manufacturer and needed better structure for its business activities, with information and processes spread across different tools and teams rather than consolidated in a single ERP environment.
The objective was to ensure reliable day-to-day operations, reduce time spent on repetitive tasks and data entry, centralise information for better visibility, and support the continued growth of a high-performance boat brand without adding unnecessary administrative burden.
Their needs
A comprehensive ERP to centralise a growing marine manufacturing business
The client was looking for a comprehensive ERP solution to manage their business activities. Captivea has been providing them with ongoing assistance and support in this context.
- Implement a comprehensive ERP system to manage all key business activities in one place.
- Be assured about the feasibility of the project and the proposed approach.
- Confirm the budget and timeline for the ERP project before full deployment.
- Work with a partner who clearly understands your business and can provide ongoing support.
The proposed solution
A structured Odoo analysis as the foundation for ERP success
Captivea USA first carried out a detailed analysis of Blazer Boats’ Odoo environment, conducting business discovery workshops by theme and team to understand their processes, and then preparing deliverable documents that confirmed feasibility, budget, approach and timeline for an Odoo ERP covering supply chain, manufacturing, purchasing, quality, finance, sales and customer relations.
