Amstelland Electronic is a Dutch electronics producer and distributor based in Uithoorn. A company that both manufactures and supplies from stock, serving industrial and business customers. That mix of production and distribution needs an integrated system, not two separate tools.
The challenge
Combining production and distribution makes things harder: for pure distribution an inventory and sales layer is enough, but production requires BOMs, work orders and lead times. Many smaller systems fall on one side or the other. Amstelland wanted one system that handled both.
Accounting also had to fit without double entry. Sales invoices, supplier invoices, stock valuation and VAT returns should flow automatically, not be retyped by hand.
The approach
We set up Odoo for the full cycle: sales, purchase, inventory, manufacturing, shipping and accounting. One database, one product catalogue, and accounting that moves with what happens in operations.
For production, BOMs and work orders are set up the way the work actually runs, not the way a template method prescribes. Inventory and orders connect to production, so a sale immediately tells you what needs to be made or ordered.
Result
Since go-live in 2024, Amstelland Electronic runs on one Odoo platform. Sales, production, inventory and finance see the same picture at the same time. What was previously scattered across separate systems and spreadsheets now lives in one environment that moves with the work.
