/ About the client

Lockdowel

Lockdowel builds fasteners in metal and plastic that are designed to make assembly processes easier. The company's patented technology and product portfolio streamline manufacturing, assembly, and installation, and the client set out to adopt Odoo's out-of-the-box operations to strengthen its foundation and reach operational excellence.

The client had been looking for a certified Odoo partner to resolve hiccups in consultation and training. To deliver Odoo's enhanced facilities, Brainvire automated order and delivery processing by mapping customer location and automated new customer signups with approval, cleaning up the data that had held the system back.

/ The approach

Design, architecture, and features, shipped as one program.

/01Data

Cleansed of duplicates

Duplicate companies and contacts caused trouble, so the team helped the user find and combine identical records with Odoo's data cleansing tools.

/02Weight

Reconfigured dimensionally

Custom box weight was misconfigured, so the team removed the customization and reconfigured product weight with a dimensional weight strategy for consistent FedEx data.

/03Packages

Set with EasyPost

Odoo FedEx combined many line items into one package weight, so the team set the EasyPost plugin as the default and validated it across several usage examples for accuracy.

/04Products

Standardized for delivery

A kit type configuration shipped the wrong product, so the team switched packaging from a production kit to a conventional one, keeping a single unit of measure for buying and selling.

Duplicate data

The customer faced trouble from duplicate data in the system, with a significant number of identical companies and contacts added. The Brainvire team helped the user find and combine the information.

Fetching mismatched data

Custom box weight was misconfigured, so the client received inconsistent FedEx data. The team found the best approach, removing the customization and reconfiguring product weight with a dimensional weight strategy.

Wrongful package weighing

The client wished to send one unit as one box using FedEx, but Odoo FedEx combined many line items into a single package. The team set the EasyPost plugin as the system default and validated it across several usage examples for accuracy.

Imbalanced delivery

A kit type configuration caused the customer to sell a different product than requested. The team switched the packaging from a production kit to a conventional one, keeping a single unit of measure so goods can be bought and sold with a clear profit and delivery success rate.
