Construction & Building Materials Industry
In the construction sector, companies use Odoo to coordinate complex projects, manage the procurement of materials and handle equipment and workforce scheduling. While larger construction firms often use enterprise resource planning systems with extensive features, many medium sized builders and contractors in Australia have adopted Odoo for its affordability and adaptability.
Odoo’s Project module allows construction project managers to plan tasks, stages and milestones for building projects, while the Timesheets and Payroll features help track labour costs and subcontractor hours on site. For instance, a residential construction business might use Odoo to manage project budgets and purchases, with site managers creating purchase orders for materials directly in the system. This immediately updates both the project cost tracking and the inventory of materials on site. On the building supply side, Odoo is also widely used for managing inventory, sales and logistics.
