Odoo ERP Implementation
SmartIT provides end-to-end ERP consultancy, implementation, and ongoing support services tailored to the needs of manufacturing businesses. Our core capability lies in delivering scalable, integrated ERP solutions using Odoo, enabling manufacturers to replace fragmented systems with a single, unified platform.
Odoo’s modular architecture allows SmartIT to design solutions that align precisely with each manufacturer’s operational reality. Core capabilities include manufacturing resource planning (MRP), bill of materials (BOM) management, production scheduling, inventory and warehouse management, quality control, procurement, finance, and sales. These modules operate within one system, ensuring real-time data flow across departments and eliminating duplication, manual work, and data silos.
SmartIT’s consultancy-led approach ensures technology supports business outcomes rather than dictating them. We begin by analysing current processes, constraints, and growth objectives, then configure Odoo to optimise workflows such as demand forecasting, stock replenishment, work order tracking, and production costing. This enables manufacturers to improve operational visibility, reduce lead times, control inventory levels, and make data-driven decisions.
Our implementation capability covers system design, configuration, data migration, integration with existing tools and machinery where required, user training, and go-live support. Odoo’s flexibility allows SmartIT to deliver both rapid deployments for small to mid-sized manufacturers and more complex implementations for multi-site or growing operations.
Beyond implementation, SmartIT provides ongoing support, optimisation, and strategic guidance. As manufacturing businesses evolve, Odoo can scale with them, adding functionality such as advanced planning, maintenance management, or business intelligence without the need to replace the core system.
In summary, SmartIT’s solution capability combines deep ERP expertise, practical manufacturing insight, and the flexibility of Odoo to deliver cost-effective, future-proof ERP solutions that improve efficiency, visibility, and control across the entire manufacturing operation.

Manualy
Manualy is a digital operations platform that helps businesses standardise, manage, and scale their processes across service, manufacturing, and multi-site operations. It replaces static SOPs, spreadsheets, and paper-based systems with a single, structured source of truth for operational knowledge and task execution.
Manualy enables teams to build clear, step-by-step procedures organised by departments, roles, and workflows. In manufacturing environments, this includes production processes, quality control checks, equipment setup, health and safety procedures, and shift handovers. Tasks can be assigned with clear accountability, ensuring consistency across operators, shifts, and sites.
Built-in version control ensures that process updates, specification changes, and compliance requirements are tracked and instantly rolled out, reducing risk from outdated instructions. Multimedia support allows images, videos, and documents to be embedded directly into procedures, improving training speed and reducing errors on the production floor.
Role-based permissions ensure operators, supervisors, and managers have appropriate access, while leadership maintains full oversight and approval control. Manualy’s timelines help teams stay on schedule with recurring tasks, audits, and maintenance routines.
An integrated AI assistant allows users to quickly find procedures, troubleshoot issues, and understand tasks in real time especially valuable in fast-paced manufacturing and operational environments. Designed to be intuitive, mobile-friendly, and scalable, Manualy supports growing businesses looking to improve efficiency, compliance, training consistency, and operational resilience across both service and manufacturing operations.
