The context
Artisanal customisation with complex products and growing demand
Les Ateliers GRÈGE, part of Grège SAS in Bazarnes, France, specialises in the artisanal creation of waistcoats and men’s ceremonial accessories, offering highly customisable products based on more than 200 materials and colours.
Before the project, the company had to manage a wide and ever-evolving catalogue of fabrics, colours and product variants with processes that were not fully integrated. Production tracking, fabric visualisation and follow-up of customer orders required multiple tools and manual work, making it harder to have a clear, real-time view of stock, manufacturing and sales.
The stakes were to secure reliable production tracking, ensure accurate stock and fabric availability, and support business growth in a demanding artisanal sector while preserving product quality, customisation and customer service.
Their needs
A flexible ERP to support artisanal production and growth
Les Ateliers GRÈGE engaged Captivea to implement a customised Odoo ERP solution that would combine flexibility and efficiency, streamline day-to-day operations, and give their teams a fast, intuitive onboarding experience.
- Streamline the management of a very extensive product and variant catalogue.
- Simplify and secure production tracking from fabric through to finished accessories.
- Improve fabric visualisation and information access for sales and production teams.
- Support growth in a demanding artisanal sector with a flexible, easy-to-adopt ERP.
The proposed solution
A phased Odoo ERP project, starting with an in-depth analysis
Captivea first performed a complete analysis of Grège SAS’s Odoo environment to ensure a solution fully aligned with their artisanal business. Through business discovery and themed workshops with different teams and functions, Captivea clarified feasibility, confirmed the project budget, defined how and when each step would be delivered, and produced detailed deliverable documents. This analysis prepared the deployment of Odoo Inventory, Manufacturing, Purchase, Accounting, Invoicing and Sales to automate transactions, centralise data, optimise stock and production flows, and provide faster, more reliable information for decision-making.
The first step of this project is to perform a complete analysis of the client's Odoo environment.
