RGS Development produces parts for the space industry. A sector where tolerances are low, traceability is mandatory, and you don’t simply redo a batch when something goes wrong. For a mid-sized supplier in this segment, a working ERP is not a luxury but a requirement.
The challenge
RGS worked with separate tools for quotations, production and inventory. For the kind of work they do — precision parts, small batches, international customers — a central place for bills of materials, work orders, inventory movements and certifications is essential. Without it you lose traceability, and in this sector that is a serious problem.
The team also works internationally. Engineering, sales and execution don’t sit in the same chair. A platform where everyone can access the same data from their own role, instead of asking around, was the second requirement.
The approach
We set up Odoo as the central operational backbone: manufacturing with BOMs, work orders and routings; inventory with serial and batch tracking; purchase with approval flows; project structure for active customer orders. All on one database, with clean reporting per customer and per project.
Manufacturing settings are tuned to the reality of precision manufacturing: small batches, long lead times and strict quality requirements. Documents, certificates and processing steps are recorded per work order, so you can trace afterwards what happened where.
Result
Since 2023, RGS runs operations on Odoo. Sales knows what’s possible, manufacturing knows what’s needed, inventory knows what’s there. The traceability that the sector demands now sits naturally in the process, no longer in an Excel sheet on someone’s laptop.
