From Bearings to Breakthroughs: A Family Business Evolution


A Legacy Built on Passion and Innovation

In 1949, a small family business began with a simple goal: to create top-quality bearings. Precision Bearing, a family-run business now in its fourth generation, is a story of resilience, adaptability, and technological innovation. Today, it stands as a leader in industrial innovation, fueled by the hard work and vision of the family.

For Precision Bearing, change is a family tradition. Founded by a visionary grandfather, nurtured by his successors, and now steered by the fourth generation, the company’s story is a living, breathing testament to innovation. In 2007, they took a bold step and shifted from bearings to industrial automation, carving out a niche in the B2B engineering space.


Growing Pains of a Thriving Business

As this family business grew, so did the challenges of managing it. Their expanding operations relied on various software for managing the business, but these solutions couldn’t keep up with their ambitions.

They used Tally for accounting, Excel for inventory, Zoho for quotations, Trello for project management, and Magento for their e-commerce store. Each tool worked on its own, but together, they created chaos. The lack of connection between systems made daily tasks a headache.

“It was chaos,” recalls the Owner of Precision Bearing. “We were drowning in​ repetitive tasks, lost data, and inefficiencies. We knew we had to find a better way.”

The team had to enter the same data multiple times, deal with mismatched information, and spend hours on repetitive admin work. What is truly needed is an all-in-one solution to bring everything together and make the business easier to run. That’s where they found out about Odoo for their operations management and helped them focus on what they do best.


A Simple Solution That Changed Everything

For the first time, everything - from inventory and sales to manufacturing and e-commerce is connected in one place. It made their day-to-day tasks smoother and more efficient.

The biggest improvement came in manufacturing. As a custom manufacturer, they needed the flexibility to tweak designs at any stage. With Odoo, creating and modifying multiple Bills of Materials (BOMs) became quick and easy. This saved them time, reduced paperwork, and cut down on manpower, making their processes run like clockwork. They found a platform that transforms the way businesses operate. 


Efficiency That Speaks for Itself​

Switching to Odoo didn’t just make things easier for them - it completely changed how the business operated. With everything integrated,   Precision Bearing reduced its manpower needs by 30-35%. Employees, who once spent hours on repetitive tasks, were finally free to focus on bigger, more strategic goals.

One of their proudest achievements was building a fully integrated e-commerce store. Now home to over 1,000 products, the website works effortlessly with its inventory, sales, purchases, and manufacturing processes. From the moment a customer places an order to the final delivery, every step flows smoothly, saving time and effort.


The Magic of the Cloud

Moving to the cloud-based system made everything so much easier—no more manual updates or complicated transitions unlike previous ERP software. It’s flexible, scalable, and always ready to adapt as the business grows in today’s fast-changing digital world.

"A fourth-generation business doesn’t just survive—it reinvents itself with every challenge."

This isn’t just Precision’s success story—it’s proof of how Odoo is helping businesses like Precision Bearing to change and can make a big difference. For businesses struggling with inefficiency, this transformation shows how managing business on Odoo can turn obstacles into opportunities.

It’s not just about saving time or reducing costs. It’s about fueling growth, sparking innovation, and creating a legacy for future generations. For this family business, their journey from bearings to breakthroughs is only the beginning.
