Blue Stingray runs a team of software developers and ERP integrators in-house. We provide a full spectrum of services. Often, this includes starting the project from scratch, performing business process discoveries, developing plans and estimations, performing implementations with custom development, and maintaining and supporting systems.

As such, we run into questions constantly.

• Why was that estimate off?

• Do we need more resources to complete this project?

• Can we take on additional clients right now? Or in 6 months?

• Are we utilizing the team’s time properly?

In this talk we will present how we developed a system using Odoo to analyze the capacity and make executive decisions on the workforce needed to meet the demand. 

We will explain how our custom Odoo tool collects timesheet data and then processes it in order to support executive decisions. 

Odoo, especially the latest versions, have been incredibly flexible for us. We’ve developed many custom modules, including the Capacity Management tool. This tool uses timesheet data to help guide hiring decisions. We will walk through and describe in detail how this tool operates and the simple and intuitive Capacity Management Dashboard it provides.
