Bestowin
From Fragmented Tools to a Unified Odoo Manufacturing Ecosystem
Bestowin, a specialist in custom cable products and heat tracing, faced a growth ceiling caused by disconnected software. Their operations relied on a mix of Excel for planning, Pipedrive for CRM and Zendesk for tickets. This fragmentation created "black holes" in their data:
Traceability Risks: Linking supplier certificates to specific cable coils was a manual, error-prone process, yet critical for safety compliance.
Planning Blind Spots: Production planning was done manually in Excel, leading to inefficiencies and a lack of visibility on actual versus estimated production times.
Integration Issues: Their critical "Calculator" tool (used to engineer cable specs) was isolated, forcing manual data re-entry to create quotes and manufacturing orders.
The Digifiers Approach
Digifiers did not simply install software; they acted as a strategic technical partner. Recognizing the complexity of Bestowin's product structure, Digifiers prioritized an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) strategy to ensure a rapid transition away from legacy tools.
The technical highlight was the custom API integration of Bestowin’s Calculator. Digifiers engineered a solution where Odoo feeds raw material data to the Calculator, which then pushes back a complex JSON output containing over 100+ product characteristics and a length-dependent BOM directly into Odoo.
The Solution Scope
The implementation covered the full operational flow:
Sales & CRM: Centralizing communication and automating complex quotes.
Inventory & Logistics: introducing logic to split batches into unique coils and optimize scrap/rest lengths.
MRP (Manufacturing): Digital shop floor stations (iPad) for operators with QR scanning for validation.
Projects & Finance: Integrating analytical accounting to track real project profitability.
Digifiers transformed Bestowin’s operations into an integrated system.
Operational Clarity: Automated generation of Datasheets and BOMs eliminated hours of administrative work per order.
Risk Reduction: Automated traceability ensures that every meter of cable can be traced back to its source batch and certificate.
