End-to-End ERP Implementation for a Multi-Plant Manufacturer

Nordic Supply Chain Co., a mid-size manufacturer operating across 3 plants in Northern Europe, was struggling with:

• 4 disconnected legacy systems for inventory, production, accounting, and sales — causing data silos and manual reconciliation.
• 45-day month-end close due to fragmented financial data across plants.
• No real-time inventory visibility, leading to overstocking (20% excess inventory) and stockouts on high-demand products.
• Growing compliance requirements across multiple EU countries that their old systems couldn't handle.

Xeon Global designed and executed a phased Odoo 17 implementation over 6 months:

• Phase 1 (Weeks 1-4): Business process analysis across all 3 plants. Mapped 120+ workflows to Odoo modules.
• Phase 2 (Weeks 5-12): Core module deployment — Manufacturing, Inventory, Purchase, Sales, Accounting. Custom MRP rules for multi-plant scheduling.
• Phase 3 (Weeks 13-18): Data migration from 4 legacy systems (SAP B1, QuickBooks, custom Access DB, Excel). Validated 50K+ records.
• Phase 4 (Weeks 19-24): User training (80+ employees), UAT, parallel run, and go-live with 24/7 support for the first 2 weeks.

Within 90 days of go-live, Nordic Supply Chain achieved:

• 40% operational efficiency gain from unified workflows and eliminated manual data entry.
• Month-end close reduced from 45 days to 5 days with real-time consolidated financials.
• 20% reduction in inventory carrying costs through demand-driven MRP and real-time visibility.
• Full EU compliance with automated tax calculations and financial reporting across all countries.
