About An Auto Parts Manufacturer in Germany

The client is a Germany-based automotive components manufacturer with over 2500 employees. As a key supplier to OEMs, they manage a wide range of production activities and handle high volumes of parts manufacturing daily. Before Odoo, their operations were heavily dependent on Excel spreadsheets, a legacy MRP system, and manual work order processes — leading to inefficiencies, data silos, and delayed decision-making. Recognizing the need for an integrated, scalable ERP solution, they partnered with Silent Infotech to modernize their operations through Odoo.
