Odoo ERP for the
Automotive Sector

A dealership is three businesses under one roof: vehicle sales, service, and parts. We configure Odoo so all three share a customer, a vehicle history, and one set of accounts.

  • Vehicle sales with financing and registration tracking
  • Workshop job cards with labour and parts
  • Spare parts inventory across counters and bins
  • Service reminders and warranty claim handling
Sector challenges

Where dealerships lose control

Parts, labour, and vehicle records sit in separate systems, so nobody owns the customer relationship.

Job Card Delays

Estimates and approvals move on paper between bay and counter.

Parts Stockouts

A vehicle waits days for a part that should have been reordered automatically.

Unbilled Labour

Technician time is not captured against the job card.

Warranty Rejections

Claims fail because documentation was assembled after the repair.

No Service History

The next visit starts without knowing what was done last time.

Missed Follow-Up

Service reminders depend on someone remembering to call.

Our approach

How we configure Odoo for automotive

Vehicle & Customer Records

One record per vehicle carrying ownership, service history, and warranty status.

Workshop Job Cards

Estimate, approval, parts issue, labour capture, and invoicing in one flow.

Parts Inventory

Bin-level stock, reorder rules, and barcode-driven issue to jobs.

Warranty & Claims

Claim documentation generated from the job card and tracked to settlement.

Service Reminders

Automated reminders by SMS or email based on time or odometer.

Dealership Accounting

Vehicle, parts, and service revenue reported separately and consolidated.
