Projects and analytic accounting
Track real cost against each job, not just revenue, so profitability is visible per project.
Industries
Odoo for construction and trades businesses, from quoting through to project costing.
Construction and trades businesses need project-based costing, purchasing tied to jobs, and field service scheduling. Wedoo Systems, an official UK Odoo Partner, configures Odoo around project and job workflows, not a generic retail setup.
Relevant modules for construction and trades
These are the modules we configure most often for project-based construction and trades businesses.
Purchasing
Materials and subcontractor costs tied directly to the job they were bought for.
Field service
Scheduling, job sheets and on-site updates in the same system as invoicing.
Two more things to plan for
One more challenge, and one more module, worth planning for early.
Variations tracked informally
Variations and change orders tracked informally, making final job costs hard to reconstruct.
Inventory
Where stock or plant is held and moved between sites, tracked properly rather than on a spreadsheet.
