About the client
Mans Network SL is a Spanish company that manufactures solid oak furniture for homes, gardens, and commercial premises. The business combines its own brands, online sales, and exports to European markets.
The company specializes in furniture made from high-quality materials with an emphasis on design and durability. Despite its small staff, Mans Network SL is demonstrating dynamic growth thanks to efficient production cycles and active use of e-commerce channels.
What challenges did we face?
Mans Network SL sought to modernize its IT infrastructure by implementing a modern management system based on Odoo. The main task was to replace the outdated platform that provided retail, warehousing, inventory management, and procurement planning with a single integrated system.
This approach would allow the company to optimize its operational processes, improve inventory control, and ensure business scaling in the European market.
How was the project implemented? Solution architecture and implementation logic
Mans Network SL opted for a full implementation of the Odoo ERP system, which became the basis for modernizing the company's IT infrastructure. The functionality covers retail sales, warehousing, and procurement planning, automating key operations, improving inventory management efficiency, and enabling business scaling.
The Self-ERP team implemented the solution taking into account the scale of the business and the company's strategic goals, ensuring full ERP integration into daily operations. The project included several stages.
Sales process automation
We configured Odoo integration with key sales channels, including Shopify, Amazon, and other platforms, ensuring seamless data synchronization between marketplaces and ERP. The team gained the ability to centrally process all orders from different sources.
Business value of the solution: Reduced order processing time, minimized data errors, improved inventory accuracy and sales planning, laying a solid foundation for further business process optimization.
Migration from v.14 to v.18
Since Mans Network SL was already using Odoo in its operations, the next step was to upgrade the system to version 18. The solution ensured compatibility with modern modules and technologies, improved system stability and performance, and created a platform for further business scaling.
Business value of the solution: Maintaining high standards of data processing, reducing the technical limitations of the old version, and accessing new Odoo features that improve planning, inventory control, and sales analytics. This was a key step in ensuring the long-term efficiency and flexibility of business processes.
Improved inventory and warehouse management
The main focus was on optimizing inventory management and warehouse operations. Thanks to the implementation of new Odoo features, the company gained improved transparency and simplicity in working with warehouses, as well as the ability to track inventory in real time.
Business value of the solution: Reduction in the number of errors in goods accounting and optimization of stock movement and replenishment processes. This resulted in increased warehouse efficiency and control over stock balances, laying the foundation for stable business development.
Automation of other key business processes
Automation of critical operations such as billing, marketing activities, and other administrative processes. This solution reduced reliance on manual work, freed up resources for strategic tasks, and delivered improved operational efficiency across the company.
Business value of the solution: Consolidation of management processes, increased speed of routine tasks, and focus of the team on business development and scaling in the European market.
