Manufacturing
The context
From a limited legacy ERP to a scalable, unified platform
INFRALYS is a French manufacturer of electric infrared heating solutions and electrical equipment that uses innovative Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) technology to design thin, high-performance resistive heating elements on a variety of materials.
Before the project, INFRALYS relied on an older ERP system that no longer kept pace with its growing operational needs. The existing solution made it difficult to automate key processes, created information silos and restricted real-time visibility across activities, which slowed down day-to-day work and decision-making.
The priority was to put in place a modern ERP foundation that could support growth, improve process automation, centralise reliable data and give teams better control over manufacturing, inventory, purchasing and finance, to sustain performance over time.
Their needs
A modern ERP to centralise operations and support growth
INFRALYS wanted to replace its outdated ERP with a more recent, more comprehensive and more scalable system that would centralise information and remove the manual limitations of its previous tools.
- Adopt a recent, scalable ERP capable of supporting the company’s growth.
- Automate key business processes that were still partially manual or fragmented.
- Centralise operational and financial data in a single, coherent environment.
- Improve day-to-day efficiency and visibility for teams across production, supply chain and finance.
The proposed solution
A phased Odoo ERP project beginning with in-depth analysis
Captivea France began the project with a comprehensive analysis of INFRALYS’s Odoo environment. They conducted business discovery workshops by function and stakeholder group to gain a complete understanding of processes and expectations, and then formalised clear deliverable documents confirming feasibility, budget, approach and timeline before rolling out the Odoo ERP foundation across supply chain, manufacturing, finance, sales and HR.
The first step of this project is to perform a complete analysis of the client's Odoo environment.
Analysis objectives
- To be reassured on the faisability
- Show that we understood their business
- To confirm a budget
- To know and confirm how we will do it
- Know the timeline
Analysis processes
