In short: LUNA ERP Solutions configures ERPNext or Odoo to run bills of materials, work orders, project timesheets and costing in one connected system, so production and project teams always know true cost and progress in real time.
These are the manufacturing and project management problems we encounter most often.
Product recipes and component lists live in disconnected files, so raw material consumption isn't automatically tied to what's actually produced.
Production jobs are assigned verbally or on paper travelers, with no central record of status, making it hard to track what's in progress at any moment.
Labor and material costs against a project aren't tracked as they happen, so overruns are only obvious once the final invoice or budget report is compiled.
Staff log hours on paper or in separate spreadsheets, delaying accurate project costing and billing by days or weeks.
Here is what changes once manufacturing and projects run on a connected system.
Every product's components and quantities are defined once, and production automatically consumes the right raw materials from stock as work orders complete.
Production jobs are created, scheduled and tracked through defined stages digitally, giving floor managers a live view of what's in progress and what's next.
Labor, material and overhead costs post to each project as they occur, so budget variances are visible immediately rather than at project close.
Staff log hours directly against projects or work orders, feeding straight into costing and client billing without a manual re-entry step.
Drawn from both the ERPNext and Odoo toolkits, configured specifically for your operation.
Multi-level BOMs that drive accurate raw material consumption.
Job scheduling and floor tracking from raw material to finished good.
Structured projects with tasks, milestones and dependencies.
Staff hours logged directly against projects or work orders.
Real-time cost tracking against budget across labor, material and overhead.
Basic quality checkpoints and workstation capacity visibility.
The same structured rollout we use across every service area, tuned to the specifics of manufacturing and project management.
We review your current production workflow, project structure and costing process.
We map your BOMs, work centers and project templates onto ERPNext or Odoo.
Manufacturing workflows, project costing and timesheet tracking are configured and connected.
Production floor staff and project managers are trained hands-on before go-live.
We stay on through your first production runs and project cycles to fine-tune the setup.
Straight answers to what UAE businesses usually ask us about manufacturing and project management before starting a project.
Yes — both ERPNext and Odoo support multi-level BOMs, where sub-assemblies are themselves built from other components, with raw material consumption calculated automatically through every level.
Labor hours from timesheets and material issued to a project post directly against that project's budget as they happen, so cost and margin are visible throughout the project rather than only at close-out.
Yes — both platforms support mobile-friendly timesheet entry, letting field and production staff log hours against the correct project or work order from wherever they're working.
A single production line or simple project workflow typically goes live in 5-7 weeks. Multi-stage manufacturing or complex multi-project portfolios usually take 8-12 weeks.
ERPNext has a strong, lean manufacturing module well suited to small and mid-sized production operations, while Odoo's manufacturing app integrates more tightly with its broader project, quality and maintenance apps for larger or more complex operations.
