About QUALI s.r.o.
Located in Liberec, Czech Republic, QUALI s.r.o. is a dynamic player in the engineering industry, specializing in the production of single-purpose machines and precision machining of plastic and metal parts using advanced CNC stands from HAAS Automation, Inc and SCM Group, USA. With a dedicated workforce of fewer than 50 employees, the company has been at the forefront of delivering high-quality engineered solutions to its clients.
Before implementing Odoo, QUALI s.r.o. heavily relied on Microsoft Excel to manage its internal processes. This approach presented significant challenges, as the management had minimal visibility into the time-consuming nature of individual production operations. There was limited understanding of employee workloads, leading to inefficiencies. The company experienced issues with production downtimes and struggled to prioritize production orders effectively. The owner realised that without a modern information system, improving productivity and efficiency would be a formidable task.
Choosing “the one”
The company considered different solutions from local providers but found them unreliable in the long term. In search of a more sustainable and efficient solution, they discovered Odoo. After assessing its capabilities, it became evident that this comprehensive solution could fulfil their requirements and fully support their growth.
With the assistance of 26HOUSE, QUALI s.r.o. began implementing Odoo. The process was carefully planned and executed in stages. 26HOUSE consultants found that the standard version of Odoo Enterprise could meet QUALI’s requirements without the need for additional developments. By utilising the full potential of Odoo's basic applications, the company saved significant financial resources during implementation and ongoing support. Instead of customising the software, QUALI adjusted its internal processes to align with Odoo’s functionalities, ensuring a seamless integration.
QUALI s.r.o. implemented several Odoo applications to address their challenges. These applications included manufacturing, inventory, quality, PLM (Product Lifecycle Management), invoicing, contacts, sales, purchase, and employee management. Each of these applications played a crucial role in transforming the company's operations and boosting efficiency.
Going beyond expectations
The implementation of Odoo has led to significant improvements in managing and planning the production process. Odoo has enabled thorough planning of material needs and timely purchases, thereby eliminating production downtime due to missing materials. The automatic creation of production orders upon customer order confirmation has streamlined operations.
By considering production center capacities and required preparation times, Odoo has ensured efficient use of resources. Access to precise data on production operations has facilitated accurate planning and benchmarking, revealing that some operations were significantly faster than previously assumed. The transparency provided by Odoo has led to a substantial increase in employee productivity and reduced downtime. Furthermore, the ability to track production processes and products has ensured high-quality outputs and quick problem resolution.
While QUALI s.r.o. expected to see some benefits, the actual positive changes surpassed their expectations. The improved process controls and data insights resulted in higher productivity and profitability than initially projected. The notable improvements observed by QUALI s.r.o. included:
- A 30% increase in production capacity without hiring additional employees or purchasing more machines.
- Operating profit increased by over 30% within the first month after implementation.
- Total production planning time was reduced to just one hour per week.
- The consistent month-over-month increase in sales post-implementation highlighted a sustainable boost in profitability.
QUALI s.r.o. wholeheartedly recommends Odoo. The successful transformation experienced by the company has already been shared with multiple companies across the Czech Republic, reinforcing Odoo’s reputation as a reliable and effective ERP solution. Implementing Odoo has been a game-changer for QUALI s.r.o., driving efficiency, productivity, and profitability.
We are so satisfied with Odoo that we are now open to playing ambassador for them!
