Odoo PLM
Odoo PLM — configured by Captivea
Odoo PLM centralises product data, documents, Bills of Materials and engineering change orders so that engineering, production, quality and supply chain teams work from the same, controlled version of the truth. Typical use cases include managing product introductions, handling engineering change workflows, keeping BoMs aligned with design, and ensuring traceability for audits and customer requirements.
The app
Odoo PLM
Odoo PLM is the product lifecycle management application in Odoo used to manage every stage of a product, from concept and design through industrialisation, production and end-of-life. It replaces scattered files and email threads with structured product records, revisions and approvals that integrate in real time with Manufacturing, Inventory, Quality and Purchasing.
Key features
Concrete building blocks
Centralised product documentation
Attach drawings, 3D models, specifications, test reports and work instructions directly to products and components so that every team refers to a single, up-to-date source instead of chasing versions across shared folders and emails.
Version and revision control
Create controlled versions and revisions of products and BoMs, track exactly what changed and when, and ensure that only approved versions are used in production, while preserving a complete history for analysis and audits.
Structured engineering change orders
Use engineering change orders (ECOs) to group impacted products, proposed modifications, discussions and approvals in a single workflow, moving changes smoothly from idea to validated implementation on the shop floor.
Real-time integration with operations
Once an ECO is approved, Odoo PLM pushes updates automatically to Manufacturing, Inventory, Quality and Purchasing so work orders, stock requirements and supplier orders reflect the latest product design.
Use cases
Concrete uses
Controlling complex product changes
Manage frequent design iterations, cost optimizations and supplier substitutions through ECOs and BoM versions so multiple teams can collaborate on changes without losing traceability or control.
Industrialising new products
Capture every adjustment made while moving from prototype to serial production—materials, tolerances, routing steps and work instructions—so the final industrial version is fully documented and approved.
Managing quality and regulatory updates
Link nonconformities and regulatory requirements to specific products and ECOs, coordinate corrective design actions across engineering, quality and production, and maintain an audit-ready history of every change.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Odoo PLM is the product lifecycle management application in the Odoo suite, used to manage product definitions, documents, Bills of Materials, versions and engineering change orders so that all teams work from consistent data, right from design to end-of-life.
Since Odoo PLM is part of the same platform as Manufacturing, Inventory, Quality, Purchase and Project, approved changes automatically update BoMs, routes, stock requirements, quality plans and tasks, without the need for separate interfaces or synchronisations.
If you manage frequent design changes, approvals and document control, Odoo PLM extends Odoo MRP with structured versions, ECO workflows and traceability, so that engineering and production stay aligned without adding another standalone system.
Captivea, as an Odoo Gold Partner, brings experience from many PLM and manufacturing projects, helping you map your existing processes, configure ECO stages and approvals, migrate product data, train users and continuously improve your PLM usage over time.
