Odoo-Powered Solution for Steel Product Customization & Automation

The client required a robust Odoo-based solution to manage a complex range of standard and customized steel products. This involved streamlining website ordering, implementing dynamic pricing based on real-time dimensions, and improving backend operations through automation tools and mobile integration. The project scope included both frontend (eCommerce enhancements) and backend (Odoo ERP workflows) development.

Key Challenges

Dynamic Custom Pricing

Handling real-time price calculation based on varying product lengths and steel rates.

Manual Bulk Order Entries

Significant time and errors involved in entering orders from Excel files.

Invalid Custom Entries

Need for automated enforcement of minimum and maximum product limits.

Inefficient Warehouse Picking

Lack of a structured, mobile-enabled system for managing pick lists.

The Solution We Provide

Website Customization & Dynamic Pricing

We customized the website to recognize standard and custom products instantly. For custom-built items, a pricing engine was implemented that dynamically calculates price based on user-defined dimensions (length) and steel rate.

Custom Pricing Engine: Developed real-time calculations using steel rates, product weight, and size inputs.
Category-Level Pricing Logic: Enabled category-wise control over pricing rules for easier management.
Min/Max Length Enforcement: Prevented invalid product orders through enforced length validation directly on the website.
Product Master Enhancements: Extended product fields to include weight and pricing logic parameters.

Bulk Order Automation via Excel Upload

To streamline order intake, we developed an Excel import feature that automatically reads and processes custom and standard product orders.

Sales & Purchase Order Generation: Automatically generated SOs and POs from uploaded Excel data.
Missing Product Alerts: System flags any missing items not found in the master, ensuring data accuracy.
Rapid Entry Processing: Significantly reduced time spent on bulk order creation.

Smart Picking System with Mobile App

A mobile-compatible picking solution was introduced for warehouse teams to improve accuracy and efficiency.

Auto Picking Assignment: Based on sales confirmation, pickings are automatically generated considering user workload and capacity.
Mobile App Execution: Users can scan location and product codes, start batch picking, and record inputs on the go.
Optimized Input Validation:
- For single items: scanning is sufficient.
- For multiple items: enforced quantity input for accurate validation.
