The context
From growing global demand to streamlined XRF operations
Bowman XRF is a global leader in precision XRF coating measurement systems, partnering with customers worldwide throughout the lifecycle of their XRF equipment.
Before the project, Bowman XRF managed global XRF system sales and finance with fragmented tools and processes, making it difficult to handle high-volume inventory efficiently and maintain a clear, real-time view of operations.
The stakes were to support global growth with reliable order fulfilment, accurate financial tracking, and optimised inventory management, while giving teams the visibility they needed to keep XRF systems running smoothly for customers worldwide.
Their needs
A robust ERP to support global XRF system sales
Bowman XRF relies on Odoo, a robust ERP solution, to optimise global XRF system sales and finance while efficiently managing high-volume inventory across their operations.
- Centralise sales, inventory, purchasing, and finance on a single ERP platform.
- Ensure high-volume inventory is managed efficiently to support global XRF system demand.
- Improve the reliability and speed of financial and sales processes linked to XRF system orders.
- Gain better operational visibility to support decision-making and future growth.
The proposed solution
An Odoo foundation tailored to Bowman XRF’s manufacturing workflows
Captivea USA implemented Odoo ERP for Bowman XRF, beginning with a complete analysis of their environment, followed by the deployment of tightly integrated Supply Chain, Inventory, Manufacturing, PLM, Purchase, Maintenance and Sales modules with customisations via Odoo Studio, and Finance with Accounting and Invoicing, to automate business processes, centralise information, and optimise purchasing and inventory management.
The first step of this project is to perform a complete analysis of the client's Odoo environment.
