Is Your Shoe Factory Still Running on Excel and WhatsApp?
When each department works in isolation, management cannot see the real picture — and problems pile up fast.
Stock Quantity Is Never Accurate
Stock quantity is never accurate — overstock and shortages both happen at the same time.
Raw Material Shortage Delays Production
Raw material shortage causes production delays and missed customer deadlines.
Sales Order Status Is Difficult to Track
Sales order status is difficult to track across the team without a central system.
Real Product Cost Is Difficult to Calculate
Finance only gets cost information at month-end — decisions are made blind.
Production Planning Is Not Connected
Production planning is not connected with material availability or customer orders.
Customer Information Is Scattered
Customer enquiries and follow-ups are scattered across WhatsApp and email.
One Platform for the Entire Footwear Manufacturing Workflow
Odoo replaces disconnected tools with a single connected system. Every team — sales, purchasing, warehouse, production and accounting — works from the same data.
Instead of switching between separate software, your workflow becomes a single chain:
CRM → Sales → Inventory → Purchase → Manufacturing → Barcode → Delivery → Accounting
Management gets real-time visibility across every function — without waiting for month-end reports or chasing departments for updates.

Frequently Asked Questions about Odoo ERP for Footwear Manufacturing
Answers to the questions footwear manufacturers ask us most often.
Odoo ERP is an integrated business management platform that connects every stage of shoe manufacturing — from customer enquiry and raw material purchasing to production planning, warehouse management, delivery, invoicing and costing — in a single system. Instead of separate software for each department, your entire team works from the same data in real time.
Odoo Inventory tracks raw materials (leather, soles, fabric, glue, boxes) and finished shoes in real time. Stock can be managed by model, size and colour. The Barcode module supports scanning for warehouse movements, and the system provides live inventory valuation so management always knows the true stock position without waiting for stock-takes.
YES. Odoo Manufacturing creates production orders linked directly to confirmed sales orders and actual material availability. It manages Bills of Materials (BOM) per shoe model, work orders, material consumption and finished goods output — so production planners can see exactly what can be produced and when, without manual coordination between departments.
Odoo captures material cost, production cost, labor cost, subcontractor cost and landed cost per manufacturing order. Management can view product margin and profitability reports without waiting until month-end. This makes it possible to identify low-margin orders and take corrective action in time.
YES. Odoo is well-suited for OEM shoe manufacturers because it can handle multiple BOM variants per client brand, separate costing per order, and customer-specific pricing. It is also used by safety footwear makers, brand owners and footwear distributors who need to manage production, inventory and sales together.
A standard footwear ERP setup includes CRM (customer enquiries), Sales (quotations and orders), Purchase (supplier and material management), Inventory (stock control), Barcode (warehouse scanning), Manufacturing (production planning and output), and Accounting (invoicing, costing and financial reporting). The exact combination depends on your business size and operational scope.
Implementation timeline varies based on the number of modules, data migration complexity and your team's readiness. For a typical footwear manufacturer deploying Sales, Inventory, Purchase, Manufacturing and Accounting, a phased implementation usually takes between 8 to 16 weeks. Keyway Digital Labs will assess your workflow first and propose a realistic project plan before any commitment.
