Odoo Print Job Costing & Estimating

A robust Print & Packaging ERP system must provide tools for precise cost and margin control:

• Cost Estimating: Calculate job costs based on paper type, ink coverage, setup times, run speeds, and finishing operations.
• Real-Time Margin Analysis: Compare estimated costs with actual production costs (material and labor) to track job profitability.
• Quotations Integration: Automatically convert approved estimates into customer quotations and sales orders.

Raw Material & Ink Inventory Setup

Manage paper stock, inks, plates, dies, and delivery workflows with complete operational visibility:

• Raw Material Tracking: Monitor paper rolls, sheets, custom dies, inks, and plates with batch/lot numbers for complete traceability.
• Automated Replenishment: Set reordering rules based on production consumption to prevent downtime due to paper or ink shortages.
• Courier & Shipping Integration: Coordinate finished order shipments with major couriers and track deliveries in real time.

Production Scheduling & Shop Floor Control

Operate efficiently and consistently with integrated production tools for print shops and packaging plants:

• Machine Capacity Scheduling: Plan press, die-cutting, folding, and gluing operations with an interactive Gantt chart scheduling tool.
• Shop Floor Tablets: Empower operators to log start/end times, material usage, and scrap counts directly from tablets at the work centers.
• Quality Inspections: Enforce checks for print alignment, color matching, and structural integrity during the run.
