Odoo capabilities for construction:
Work Planning
You get the ability to: track your projects, archive completed ones, monitor work execution statuses, generate specialized reports, and automate calculations for completed work.
The project becomes available to company managers, each task is assigned a responsible person, planned deadlines and cost estimates are defined.
The system organizes the work of company employees, allows them to manage their tasks, priorities, and allocated resources. Each performer at their workstation can see the tasks within their area of responsibility, track execution statistics, write off materials, etc.
Resource Planning
The main goal of initial project planning is to determine the material component and its cost, the scope of work and its value, and to identify the performers, which also affects the cost.
In general, when planning project costs, the following are relevant: material costs, subcontractor composition and their areas of responsibility, the extent of involvement of own employees, and the quantity and cost of equipment used.
The system provides solutions for these matters.
Integration with AVK-5
For quick project initiation in the Odoo system, you can use the specialized construction company cost estimation software AVK-5. Such integration can significantly speed up the work and resource planning process in Odoo.
Individual types of work from the project estimate can be imported into Odoo as bills of materials, which makes it possible to define resources and technological operations, and assign work performers.
Working Time Planning
All project performers are registered in the system. These can be both company employees and external contractors.
The system allows you to plan time for work execution and record the actual time spent.
Work Execution Management
Each task in a project can be planned, launched for execution, paused, or marked as completed. A completion percentage can be specified for each task.
When recording work completion, the system writes off used materials according to defined standards, or as specified manually.
Each employee has the ability to personally manage their tasks. Mobile devices can be used for remote access to the system.
The system provides the ability to analyze work execution efficiency in a project by individual performers or by entire departments.
Procurement Management
Materials calculated for the project are compared with those available in own warehouses, with minimum safety stock levels, and the deficit volume is identified. Purchase requests or internal transfer requests are automatically generated for deficit items.
There are various ways to replenish material stocks: purchasing, in-house production, transfers from other warehouses, or ordering from a subcontractor. Purchase orders are generated automatically. The manager only needs to adjust the proposed option and send the document to the supplier.
The system allows you to control all stages of the relationship with the supplier: requests for quotation, order finalization, prepayment, control of construction material delivery to the warehouse, and final settlements with the partner.
Warehouse Management
For a construction company, organizing the tracking of construction materials is essential. Typically, construction takes place at several sites simultaneously, involving a branched warehouse structure.
All the mentioned material accounting schemes can be automated in the Odoo system. The system should reflect the actual structure of material responsibility of company employees.
Odoo allows for the creation of detailed estimates for each project, where the plan is compared to the actual in real-time. The system automatically pulls material costs from inventory invoices and labor costs from timesheets. This enables the manager to instantly see deviations from the budget and monitor the profitability of each individual item.
