OInvCons: Odoo-based Inventory Management for Construction Projects: A Design Initialization

The construction industry has considerable difficulties in managing a large number of materials an equipments to afford the growing reliance on subcontractors. This new are of outsourcing paradigm brought hierarchical management complications and inter-site control problem to aggregate all the subcontractor resource. This work proposes a system design and an initialized implementation of a subsystem integrated to Odoo ERP framework to manage inventory and provide the support of customization report. Our proposed system provide three arrows in a pillar to tackle the warehouse operation, the hybrid access control and the different customization degree in both unified and consolidated analytic strategies. To ensure and benchmark the work, we also conducted a set of ten or more demonstration scripts as a basis for evaluating the performance of the developed system. The demonstration of Python-based module confirms the feasibility of our design and implementation, which can be accessed on the app market.This module will be available on the Odoo app store for easy access and integration.
