Walor International

The context

Strengthening in-house IT skills for a secure Odoo ERP deployment

Walor International SAS operates the Walor Laval plant, a leading French manufacturer specialising in cold forging for the automotive industry. With a fully integrated in-house process from steel coil treatment to final machining, the site produces millions of forged, treated, and machined parts every year for passenger cars and commercial vehicles.

Before the project, Walor International SAS decided to implement Odoo ERP and needed to ensure that the new system would be deployed on a secure, reliable server infrastructure. Their internal IT team wanted to gain the knowledge and confidence required to manage this environment themselves, from installation and configuration through to ongoing maintenance, without relying entirely on external providers.

The stakes were to secure a robust ERP foundation capable of supporting demanding automotive manufacturing flows, while giving the IT team full autonomy over the Odoo server. This meant avoiding operational downtime, protecting sensitive production and business data, and ensuring that the new ERP platform could evolve with the company's needs over time.
