The context
From manual processes to a scalable ERP backbone
Kernel is a pioneering neuroimaging technology company where neuroscientists, physicists and engineers work together to build a non-invasive mind/body/machine interface that improves, evolves and extends human cognition.
Before the project, most of Kernel’s business processes and internal operations were handled without dedicated automation tools, relying on manual steps and disconnected methods that made day-to-day management more complex.
The objective was to support their cutting-edge research and development with reliable, structured and scalable business operations, ensuring accurate data, streamlined processes and better visibility across the organisation.
Their needs
Structuring operations with an integrated Odoo ERP
Kernel needed to move away from manual, non-automated processes and implement an integrated Odoo ERP that could handle their human resources, inventory, purchasing, accounting, assets, equipment maintenance and manufacturing operations within a single system.
- Automate human resources processes in a centralised way.
- Gain better control and visibility over inventory and purchasing activities.
- Structure accounting, assets and equipment maintenance around consistent, reliable data.
- Support manufacturing operations within the same integrated ERP environment.
The proposed solution
Deploying Odoo ERP across core business functions
Captivea USA implemented Odoo ERP for Kernel, setting up Human Resources, Inventory, Accounting, Purchase, Asset Management, Equipments & Maintenance and Manufacturing modules so their key business processes could be automated, streamlined and managed from a single platform.
The first step of this project is to perform a complete analysis of the client's Odoo environment.
