Home / Custom ERP / Electroless Nickel Plating ERP
Custom Odoo ERP for electroless nickel plating and surface treating shops

Quote, plate, inspect, certify, ship, and invoice from one system.

Built for metal finishing businesses where every order depends on part geometry, coating specs, bath chemistry, tank capacity, operator steps, inspection evidence, certificates, compliance records, delivery, and billing rules.

RFQs, drawings, customer part catalogues, coating configs, formula pricing, quotes, and sale orders connected.
Electroless nickel process types, bath parameters, tanks, recipes, work orders, shop-floor tablets, and release gates.
QMS, CoCs, thickness readings, compliance, safety, pickup, delivery, invoicing, and KPIs in one operating record.

Hot job

AMS 2404 EN job released. Bath in range. CoC package queued.

Ready for QC
Quote Surface area and thickness priced Part geometry, substrate, masking, batch size, and spec drive the price.
Bath pH, temp, nickel, MTO in range Chemistry logs stay tied to tank, bath lifecycle, and work order history.
Shop floor Operator queue assigned Tablet stations show the next step, required sign-offs, and release blockers.
Quality CoC and thickness report ready Inspection readings, specs, NCRs, and certificates stay audit-ready.
RFQ Receive Plate Inspect Ship
Quoting RFQs, drawings, part catalogue, coating configs, pricing rules, win/loss tracking.
Production Recipes, baths, tanks, racks, MRP work orders, priorities, shop-floor tablets.
Quality NCR, CAPA, calibration, FAIR, holds, CoCs, thickness reports, document control.
Compliance Discharge samples, waste manifests, permits, spill register, SDS, training, incidents.

Most plating shops do not have one system. They have hand-offs.

The quote starts in email. Drawings sit in folders. Bath logs live on paper. Work orders move through the plant by memory. Certificates are built after the fact. Owners only find the margin leak when the job is already shipped.

A surface treating business needs software that understands process, chemistry, quality, compliance, and billing together.

1

Quoting depends on hidden technical knowledge

Surface area, thickness, masking, substrate, complexity, batch size, and customer specs are hard to price consistently without a guided configurator.

2

Production evidence gets disconnected

Bath chemistry, tank assignment, rack details, dwell time, operator timers, and release readiness need to follow the work order.

3

Quality paperwork slows shipping

Certificates, thickness readings, NCRs, CAPAs, calibration records, and customer specs should be built during the job, not chased afterwards.

4

Compliance lives outside operations

Discharge, waste, SDS, training, exposure monitoring, incidents, and spills need to be visible beside the work that creates the obligation.

The solution: Fusion Plating on Odoo.

A custom ERP stack built for electroless nickel plating, metal finishing, coating, and surface treating workflows.

One operating record from RFQ to certificate.

Fusion Plating connects the job lifecycle across sales, receiving, process planning, baths, shop floor, quality, logistics, invoicing, and management reporting.

Customer RFQs, drawings, specs, and quotes flow into sale orders and production.
Recipes generate work orders with bath, tank, rack, oven, operator, and sign-off logic.
Quality, certificates, compliance, safety, logistics, invoicing, and KPIs are native to the workflow.

What gets configured

The system is built from real Fusion Plating modules, not a generic manufacturing template with renamed fields.

Plating core

Plating core and Electroless Nickel Process Pack

Facilities, work centres, tanks, baths, chemistry logs, racks, recipes, bath parameters, and electroless nickel process data.

Quote configurator

Quote configurator and portal

RFQs, drawings, customer part catalogue, coating configs, substrate, surface area, masking, complexity, pricing, and sale orders.

Receiving

Receiving and production

Parts receiving, inspection, damage logging, manufacturing gates, MRP work orders, release readiness, and shop-floor stations.

Quality

Quality and certificates

NCR, CAPA, calibration, FAIR, audits, document control, quality holds, CoCs, thickness reports, SPC, and batch traceability.

Compliance

Compliance and safety

Permits, discharge limits, samples, waste manifests, pollutant inventory, spills, SDS, WHMIS, training, JHSC, incidents, and PPE.

Logistics

Logistics, billing, and KPIs

Pickup, delivery, routes, proof of delivery, chain of custody, invoice strategies, account holds, dashboards, and auto-email notifications.

The workflow we build around

Every job should show what it is, where it is, what it needs, what it cost, and what evidence is ready for the customer.

1

RFQ and quote

Capture drawings, material, surface area, thickness, coating spec, quantity, target date, and pricing logic.

2

Receiving

Verify quantities, inspect condition, log damage, attach photos, and warn before production starts.

3

Recipe and planning

Generate work orders from process recipes with bath, tank, rack, oven, dwell, and sign-off requirements.

4

Shop floor

Assign operators, show tablet queues, track timers, enforce release readiness, and keep priority visible.

5

Quality and certificate

Record inspections, thickness readings, NCR/CAPA if needed, and prepare CoC or customer-specific reports.

6

Ship and invoice

Plan delivery, capture proof, send documents, apply billing strategy, and report margin and throughput.

This is a strong fit if you:

  • Run electroless nickel plating, coating, metal finishing, or surface treating work.
  • Quote from drawings, surface area, thickness, substrate, customer specs, and batch assumptions.
  • Need traceability across bath chemistry, tanks, racks, operators, inspections, certificates, and shipments.
  • Have quality, compliance, safety, customer portal, logistics, or invoicing requirements that generic software misses.

This is not the right fit if you:

  • Only need a simple website, basic CRM, or standard accounting setup.
  • Do not want to standardize quoting, production, quality, and compliance workflows.
  • Want generic manufacturing ERP with no plating-specific baths, recipes, chemistry, or CoC logic.
  • Are not ready to move the plant from paper, spreadsheets, and isolated systems into one workflow.

Common buying questions

Clear answers before you book a call.

Can this replace Steelhead, spreadsheets, and paper travelers?

Yes. Fusion Plating was designed as a custom Odoo ERP for plating shops that need quoting, production, chemistry, quality, certificates, logistics, billing, and dashboards in one system.

Does it support electroless nickel chemistry?

Yes. The EN pack includes low, mid, and high phosphorus EN, PTFE composite, boron nickel, nickel strike, bath parameters, hazard notes, and process data that extends the plating core.

Can customers submit quote requests online?

Yes. The customer portal lets customers submit RFQs with drawings, notes, target dates, and job context. Portal jobs can also expose status, certificates, packing lists, tracking, and invoice references.

How does implementation start?

We map your current quoting, receiving, production, quality, certificate, compliance, delivery, and billing workflows, then configure Odoo and Fusion Plating modules around how the plant actually runs.
