Driving data centralisation in automation-control manufacturing
Customer snapshot
A traditional manufacturer and distributor rooted in industrial automation control, specialising in high cost-performance sensing solutions, with 30–40 employees and around 25% of its market overseas.
The challenge
The business ran a legacy ERP for accounting alongside massive, laggy Excel spreadsheets for sales and customer data.
Manual entry and information silos hindered weekly reporting and executive visibility.
Cross-departmental communication between Sales, R&D and Procurement was slow.
Legacy ERP add-ons carried rising cost and rigid perpetual licensing.
The solution
Exato deployed Odoo Online as a modular, centralised foundation connecting front-line sales directly with back-office support, on a phased ‘Lego-like’ rollout.
CRM & Sales
Centralised lead pipelines, mobile updates and integrated email/calendar history.
Helpdesk & Tickets
Sales requests connected directly to Procurement and R&D for rapid checks and quotes.
Documents & Project
Digitised product specs and delivery tracking across departments.
Phased MRP & Quality
Manufacturing, Quality and Inventory modules staged in as the next phase.
