Case Study: Bearing Manufacturer

How a 20+ year old bearing manufacturer improved inventory accuracy, reduced stockouts, and streamlined operations using Odoo ERP.

🏭 Background

This manufacturer supplies deep groove ball bearings and cylindrical roller bearings across western India. With growing SKUs, vendors, and customers, manual systems (Excel, Tally, WhatsApp) were no longer sufficient.

"We knew what we made and sold — but not what we had in stock."

⚠️ Key Challenges

📦 Inaccurate Inventory

Stock updates lagged 2–3 days, causing production disruptions.

🔁 No Reorder System

Procurement based on memory → overstock & stockouts.

🔗 Disconnected Systems

Production, purchase, and inventory were not linked.

💸 Billing Delays

Invoices generated 2–3 days late → cash flow impact.

🔍 No Traceability

Hard to track batch, raw material, and production history.
