In order for all processes of a company to run smoothly and for employees to be able to fulfil their operational tasks in the best possible way, a variety of equipment, materials and aids are needed in everyday work.
To get or keep a good overview, a management solution is helpful. For this reason, we have created an optimised solution for the management and maintenance of inventory in Odoo.
Inventory overview
Have an overview of your company's inventory at all times, so that you always know where something is, always have enough items in stock, can order supplies in good time or keep to all maintenance cycles.
Here is an overview of inventory that can be managed with our solution:
IT equipment
PCs, laptops, keyboards, mice, charging cables & others
Licences
digitale Lizenzen mit bestimmter Laufzeit
Tools
verschiedene Materialien zum Ver- und Gebrauch (z. B. Arbeitskleidung, Sicherheitsausstattung etc.)
Advertising materials
Inserts and editions of pens, notepads, USB sticks & others
Four reasons for our inventory management
Overview at the touch of a button
Get an overview of your inventory at any time at the touch of a button - e.g. as a basis for inventory valuation.
More efficiency
Regularly maintained equipment generates less downtime, which keeps efficiency high.
On-/Offboarding of employees
Rely on clean onboarding and offboarding of HR resources, including reports.
Sustainable procurement decisions
Create a solid decision-making basis for sustainable acquisitions.
Odoo module: Maintenance
In order to stay as close as possible to the Odoo standard with our solution, we have started with the Odoo module "Maintenance" and extended it with functions that are relevant in practice.
You can get an overview of the standard range of functions of the Odoo module "Maintenance" here.
Inventory Management Plus
Our additional functions at a glance:
- Extended meta information (e. g. image, keywords*, manufacturer*)
- Consumable tracking (e. g. storage/issue of advertising material)
- Simplified withdrawal of inventory incl. depositing of a reason*.
- configuration of various parameters (marked with *) and their characteristics
- optimised, traceable equipment issue and return
- confirmation by signature (incl. report as receipt)
- separate remarks field
- Output status
More information at a single view
Our solution makes it possible to store equipment pictures and also to create and enter further information such as keywords or manufacturers.
The inventory overview also gains clarity through the additional information:
Consumables tracking
Already out of branded pens to hand out as promotional items at next week's trade fair? A colleague has lost his safety gloves and they have to be reordered? The hand disinfectant dispensers should always be filled up, but the disinfectant has run out and no one has noticed?
None of this should happen. For this reason, we have included in our equipment management solution that storage and withdrawal of various consumables can be easily tracked.
Reason for withdrawal
If inventory has to be discarded, it is possible to create a reason for discarding. The various reasons for disposal can be created and managed:
If the equipment is currently issued to a user, the system asks whether the inventory should be taken back.
Optimised issue and return of inventory
If one or more inventory items are issued, they can be selected and provided with further information such as terms of use (e.g. if private use is permitted).
After assigning a user and setting the issue date, the signature of the person can be obtained directly, confirming the takeover. Finally, an issue report can be printed and handed out. The process is also documented in Odoo.
The procedure is similar for taking back inventory. It is possible to add a comment (e. g. on the condition) and a final report can also be displayed here.
