Odoo module suite for plating and metal finishing
Run the plating shop from RFQ to certificate.
Fusion Plating adds the plant-specific layer Odoo needs for electroless nickel plating, metal finishing, coating and surface treating shops. Quotes, recipes, tanks, baths, work orders, inspections, certificates, compliance and billing move as one workflow.
Valve body batch - customer rev C
Quote, receiving, MRP, bath, inspection and CoC are connected.
Plating shops do not need another renamed manufacturing screen.
They need software that understands how metal finishing work actually moves through the plant.
The problem Fusion Plating solves.
Quotes are technical. Production depends on bath chemistry. Quality owns release. Compliance sits beside operations. Billing needs proof. When those records live in separate tools, margin and traceability leak quietly.
Quoting depends on hidden knowledge
Surface area, coating type, masking, substrate, complexity, batch size and customer requirements need guided pricing.
Production proof gets recreated later
Bath readings, oven events, inspection gates and operator sign-offs should be captured while the job is happening.
Quality release blocks billing
Certificates, thickness reports, NCRs, CAPAs and document control need to be native to the job lifecycle.
Compliance is not separate from operations
Permits, discharge samples, waste manifests, spills, SDS, WHMIS and incidents must stay visible beside the work that creates them.
What Fusion Plating adds to Odoo.
A modular ERP layer for quote-to-cash, plant execution, quality release and regulatory traceability.
Core Plating
Facilities, work centres, tanks, baths, bath logs, racks, operators, process nodes and job records for the plant.
EN Process Pack
Low, mid and high phosphorus electroless nickel, PTFE composite, boron nickel, nickel strike and bath parameter schemas.
Configurator and Portal
Online RFQs, customer part catalogues, 3D/PDF previews, coating configurations and formula-based quote pricing.
MRP and Shop Floor
Manufacturing orders linked to baths, tanks, racks, thickness targets, dwell time, tablet stations and first-piece gates.
QMS and Certificates
NCR, CAPA, calibration, AVL, FAIR, customer specs, audits, document control, CoCs and thickness reports.
Compliance, Logistics, Billing
Permits, discharge, waste, SDS, WHMIS, pickup and delivery, chain of custody, invoice strategies, KPIs and auto-email.
The plating workflow, end to end.
Every stage creates useful data for the next stage instead of becoming another hand-off.
RFQ
Capture drawings, specs, part defaults, coating requirements and customer due dates.
Quote
Use formula pricing, coating configs, surface area and process assumptions to price consistently.
Receive
Verify quantities, log condition, attach photos and gate manufacturing readiness.
Process
Run work orders through tanks, baths, racks, tablet stations, sign-offs and inspection points.
Release
Complete NCR/CAPA checks, thickness reports, CoCs and certificate packages.
Bill
Ship with proof, apply invoice strategy, send notifications and report margin.
Who this module suite is for.
Fusion Plating is built for process-heavy shops where traceability, release gates and repeatable quoting matter.
Strong fit
- Electroless nickel plating and multi-process metal finishing shops.
- Plants that need customer specs, bath history, work order traceability and CoCs.
- Shops replacing spreadsheets, paper travellers, disconnected QMS tools and manual certificates.
- Teams that want Odoo sales, inventory, MRP, accounting and reporting connected to plant operations.
Not the right tool if
- You only need a simple CRM or a generic manufacturing install.
- You do not track process recipes, baths, tanks, specs, certificates or release gates.
- You want a standalone desktop program instead of an Odoo-based operating system.
- You are not ready to map the real workflow before configuring the software.
Common questions.
Is Fusion Plating one Odoo module or a suite?
It is a product family. The core module provides the plating foundation, and add-ons extend it with EN process data, configurator, portal, receiving, shop floor, MRP, quality, certificates, compliance, safety, logistics, invoicing, KPIs and notifications.
Can it run on Odoo Community?
Yes. The core and many operational modules are designed for Odoo Community and Enterprise. Enterprise bridge modules are optional when an Enterprise app such as Documents, Quality or Sign is present.
Does it support custom plating processes?
Yes. The core uses an extensible process taxonomy, bath parameters and recipe structure so additional process packs can be configured around the shop's work.
How does it connect to the full ERP page?
This module page explains the Odoo module suite. The Custom ERP page shows how the same modules become a complete business system for electroless nickel plating and surface treating companies.
