SOUTHWEST Session: Manufacturing success relies on visibility—the ability to monitor production, quality, and financial metrics in real time. However, many manufacturers still struggle with disconnected systems that slow decision-making and hide the true state of operations. This session will demonstrate how a unified ERP solution enables manufacturers to gain operational insights, reveal performance data, and make informed, data-driven decisions. Through practical examples, we will show how the platform leverages data across CRM, shop floor, quality, and accounting workflows. Attendees will learn how teams use Odoo to forecast staffing and material needs, monitor productivity at each work center, track the cost of goods sold, and ensure quality consistency for every order. With clear metrics and user-friendly dashboards, manufacturers can transition from reactive reporting to proactive optimization. This presentation will also discuss how this integrated approach enhances financial visibility — connecting every transaction, production run, and quality checkpoint into a single source of truth. By connecting operational and financial data, leadership teams can identify inefficiencies, drive profitable growth, and gain clarity to prioritize investments. Whether your goal is to reduce downtime, improve first-pass yield, or strengthen margins, this session will show how visibility, powered by Odoo and Novobi, transforms manufacturing performance from the shop floor to the CFO’s office.
