Odoo ERP for energy, EPC and engineering firms

Project costing, procurement, subcontracting, timesheets and document control for engineering, fabrication and energy services companies.

Challenges

What usually breaks, and how Odoo fixes it

Project margins found too late

Actual cost is known only after the project closes.

Analytic accounting and live project budgets

Procurement outside the system

Requisitions and approvals happen by email.

Purchase requests, approvals and vendor bids

Timesheets on paper

Labour cost reaches projects weeks later.

Mobile timesheets posted to project cost

Document chaos

Drawings, transmittals and correspondence scattered.

Documents, plus Docufella for engineering document control

Fabrication shops

Shop work not linked to projects.

Manufacturing orders tied to project analytics

Compliance

Regional tax and e-invoicing rules.

ZATCA, UAE e-invoicing and US sales tax configured
