Live at Enplating.
Enplating runs its plating and finishing work on this ERP, built on our Fusion Plating modules.
Enplating · Plating and finishing
RFQs, part specs, tanks and baths, work orders, quality checks, and certificates of conformance are tracked in one place, from quote to certificate.
Built on Fusion Plating
The Odoo modules described on this page, configured around the shop's own processes, specs, and customers. See the Fusion Plating modules.
Screens from the plating ERP.
Shown with sample data. These are the same kinds of screens the team at Enplating works in.
Every job in the tanks with its thickness band and timer, plus hydrogen relief bakes in progress.
Quotes priced from surface area, thickness, masking zones, setup, and rush, with every line shown.
Every bath with its tank, volume, metal turnovers, and a log of chemistry readings by shift.
Routing steps with work centres, operators, and expected against actual minutes.
Non-conformances tracked from containment to disposition, tied to the part, lot, and bath.
A bilingual certificate of conformance generated from the job, ready to send with the parts.
Most plating shops run on hand-offs between disconnected tools.
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.
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.
Production evidence gets disconnected
Bath chemistry, tank assignment, rack details, dwell time, operator timers, and release readiness need to follow the work order.
Quality paperwork slows shipping
Certificates, thickness readings, NCRs, CAPAs, calibration records, and customer specs should be built during the job instead of chased afterwards.
Compliance lives outside operations
Discharge, waste, SDS, training, exposure monitoring, incidents, and spills need to be visible beside the work that creates the obligation.
Fusion Plating, built on Odoo.
A custom ERP built for electroless nickel plating, metal finishing, coating, and surface treating work.
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.
What gets configured
Every system is scoped after a first meeting and put together from Fusion Plating modules written for plating work, with baths, recipes, chemistry, and CoCs built in.
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 and portal
RFQs, drawings, customer part catalogue, coating configs, substrate, surface area, masking, complexity, pricing, and sale orders.
Receiving and production
Parts receiving, inspection, damage logging, manufacturing gates, MRP work orders, release readiness, and shop-floor stations.
Quality and certificates
NCR, CAPA, calibration, FAIR, audits, document control, quality holds, CoCs, thickness reports, SPC, and batch traceability.
Compliance and safety
Permits, discharge limits, samples, waste manifests, pollutant inventory, spills, SDS, WHMIS, training, JHSC, incidents, and PPE.
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.
RFQ and quote
Capture drawings, material, surface area, thickness, coating spec, quantity, target date, and pricing logic.
Receiving
Verify quantities, inspect condition, log damage, attach photos, and warn before production starts.
Recipe and planning
Generate work orders from process recipes with bath, tank, rack, oven, dwell, and sign-off requirements.
Shop floor
Assign operators, show tablet queues, track timers, enforce release readiness, and keep priority visible.
Quality and certificate
Record inspections, thickness readings, NCR/CAPA if needed, and prepare CoC or customer-specific reports.
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.
Is this used by a real plating shop today?
Yes. Enplating is live on this plating and finishing ERP, built on our Fusion Plating modules.
Can this replace Steelhead, spreadsheets, or paper travellers?
That's what it's built for. Fusion Plating puts quoting, production, chemistry, quality, certificates, logistics, billing, and dashboards in one Odoo system. In the first meeting we look at what your current tools do and plan the move.
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 the system handle quality and certificates?
Yes. Fusion Plating includes QMS workflows for NCR, CAPA, calibration, FAIR, audits, document control, quality holds, certificates of conformance, thickness reports, and customer-specific quality documents.
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 show status, certificates, packing lists, tracking, and invoice references.
How does a project start?
With a call. We map your current quoting, receiving, production, quality, certificate, compliance, delivery, and billing workflows. Then we scope and quote the work and configure Odoo and Fusion Plating around how your plant actually runs.
Software that fits a plating shop from the start.
Book a call and walk us through how RFQs, bath chemistry, work orders, quality records, certificates, compliance, logistics, and invoices move through your shop today. We'll show where Fusion Plating fits and scope the work for your plant. Prefer the phone? Call 905-792-0000.
