Manufacturing
The context
A growing industrial manufacturer needing a modern, integrated ERP
ELA Innovation SA is a French manufacturer of computer and electronic products that designs and produces rugged, battery-powered industrial sensors and wireless beacons used to track equipment, monitor conditions, and protect workers in demanding environments.
Before the project, key processes such as inventory control, purchasing, financial tracking, and customer management relied on separate tools and manual work, making it difficult to automate operations, consolidate data, and get a clear, real-time view of activity across the company.
The stakes for ELA Innovation were to secure reliable operations, optimise inventory levels, improve customer relationships, and gain trustworthy financial and operational insights from a single system to support growth and day-to-day decision-making.
Their needs
Automating operations and centralising data in one ERP
ELA Innovation wanted to automate key processes, optimise inventory control, strengthen data analysis, improve customer relations, and ensure accurate financial management within a single Odoo ERP system.
- Automate core operational and administrative processes to reduce manual work.
- Optimise inventory control and purchasing to better align stock levels with production and demand.
- Improve customer relationship management with centralised, up-to-date information and faster responses.
- Strengthen data analysis and financial management with reliable, consolidated information in real time.
The proposed solution
A complete analysis of the Odoo environment to prepare a tailored ERP solution
Captivea France started the project by performing a complete analysis of ELA Innovation’s Odoo environment, using business discovery and themed workshops to understand their manufacturing, supply chain, service, finance and HR processes, then defining a structured roadmap to align Odoo ERP with their automation, inventory, data analysis, customer relationship and financial management objectives.
The first step of this project is to perform a complete analysis of the client's Odoo environment.
