As the business modernizes its operations, Industrial Hardware is now working toward establishing a unified and reliable ERP foundation to manage its complex product catalog, manufacturing workflows, and customer service processes.

Partnership with Aktiv

Industrial Hardware partnered with Aktiv after challenges with previous implementation efforts prevented them from going live with Odoo 17 SH.

Although the system had been partially set up by other partners, the configuration, customization, and business process alignment were incomplete, leaving the team without a usable, production-ready environment.

Aktiv’s role is to conduct a thorough evaluation of their current setup, identify gaps, and define a clear and executable roadmap to complete the implementation.

Key Challenges of Industrial Hardware Before Odoo Completion

Existing Odoo 17 SH implementation incomplete and not ready for go-live
Previous partners unable to finish the project or provide adequate clarity
Lack of alignment between Odoo configuration and real business processes
Need for a structured gap analysis covering both functional and technical aspects
Pending custom modules stored with previous partner and limited repository access
Urgent need to go live with a stable system to support operations
Requirements evolving but not documented clearly
Complex manufacturing and product customization workflows demanding expert guidance

These challenges created uncertainty and delayed the company’s ability to adopt a unified ERP platform.
