Odoo ERP Design to Enhance Efficiency in Procurement, Inventory, and Manufacturing for an Agri-Food Tech SME

Abstract

Digital transformation is a key strategy to enhance operational efficiency, particularly for agri-food tech startups. However, some business lines still encounter challenges as their procurement, warehousing, and production processes remain manual and lack integration. This study aims to design and implement an Odoo-based ERP system focused on three main modules: Purchase, Inventory, and Manufacturing. The system is developed using a Software Engineering approach, combined with Design Thinking and Scrum, to support iterative and user-centered development. The project successfully produced an integrated cross-departmental ERP module, featuring automation for purchase requests, stock recording, and production scheduling. The implementation results showed an average increase in operational efficiency of 85.7%, and all user needs were met with an average satisfaction level of 94%, based on the User Acceptance Test. The implementation of this system enables the company to streamline business processes, improve information accuracy, and support faster, data-driven, and integrated decision-making.

Transformasi digital merupakan strategi kunci untuk meningkatkan efisiensi operasional, khususnya bagi startup di bidang agri-food tech. Namun, beberapa lini bisnis masih menghadapi tantangan karena proses pengadaan, pergudangan, dan produksi yang dijalankan secara manual dan belum terintegrasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang dan mengimplementasikan sistem ERP berbasis Odoo yang berfokus pada tiga modul utama: Purchase, Inventory, dan Manufacturing. Sistem dikembangkan menggunakan pendekatan Software Engineering, dipadukan dengan Design Thinking dan Scrum, untuk mendukung pengembangan iteratif dan berpusat pada pengguna. Proyek berhasil menghasilkan modul ERP terintegrasi antardivisi, dengan fitur otomatisasi permintaan pembelian, pencatatan stok, dan penjadwalan produksi. Hasil implementasi menunjukkan peningkatan efisiensi operasional rata-rata sebesar 85,7%, dan seluruh kebutuhan pengguna terpenuhi dengan tingkat kepuasan rata-rata 94% berdasarkan User Acceptance Test. Penerapan sistem ini memungkinkan perusahaan untuk merampingkan proses bisnis, meningkatkan akurasi informasi, serta mendukung
