Quality & conformity
Quality control software for manufacturing
- In-flow control points
- Measurements with tolerances
- Tracked non-conformities
Quality control software defines control points on receipts and manufacturing operations, records outcomes and measurements and turns defects into tracked non-conformities. In Odoo, quality lives inside the flow: the check triggers at the right step and the operation doesn't close without an outcome, with lots and serials linked so you can always trace back to the origin.
What quality control software is
It's the system that makes checks part of the process instead of a separate activity: it sets where to check (at goods receipt, during manufacturing, before shipping), what to verify (pass/fail outcome, measurement with tolerances, instructions to follow) and what happens when something is off, with non-conformity alerts and corrective actions. Every outcome stays recorded and linked to products and lots.
From control point to corrective action
The check triggers on its own at the right step of the flow.
- 01
Defining control points
Decide where and what to check: on which products, in which operations (receipt, manufacturing) and how often.
- 02
In-flow check
When the operation reaches the defined point, Odoo requests the check: the operator performs it right there, with no separate forms.
- 03
Outcome & measurements
Record pass/fail or the measured value: out-of-tolerance readings are flagged immediately.
- 04
Non-conformity
A defect raises a quality alert that moves through a kanban, with cause, owner and corrective action tracked.
- 05
Analysis & improvement
Reports on outcomes, recurring defects and critical suppliers: quality improves on data, not impressions.
What Odoo's quality handles
The features we most often configure for SMEs.
Configurable control points
By product, operation and frequency: the check triggers where needed, at receipt or in manufacturing.
Check types
Pass/fail outcome, measurement with tolerances or step-by-step instructions, as the case requires.
Incoming checks
Incoming goods are verified before entering stock: supplier issues surface immediately.
In-production checks
Checks hook into manufacturing operations and the order doesn't move on without a recorded outcome.
Alerts & corrective actions
Non-conformities move through a kanban for quality teams, with root cause and assigned actions.
Per-lot traceability
Every check is tied to inventory lots and serials: from a defect you trace back to supply and deliveries.
Paper forms vs in-flow quality
What changes between paper checks and checks hooked into operations.
| Paper forms / sheets | Integrated quality (Odoo) | |
|---|---|---|
| Checks | On paper, easy to skip | Enforced by the flow at the right step |
| Measurements | Transcribed and re-copied by hand | Recorded with tolerances and out-of-range flagged |
| Non-conformities | Handled by email and memory | Tracked alerts with corrective actions |
| Traceability | Hard to trace back to the lot | Checks tied to lots and serials |
| Audits | Documents to reconstruct | Check history ready to show |
Quality inside manufacturing and inventory
Quality control is not a separate office: control points hook into inventory receipts and manufacturing operations, defects trace back to lots, suppliers and orders, and a non-conformity can stop the next step before the problem spreads. It's the same data linking purchasing, manufacturing and shipping.
Who it's for
Manufacturing with in-line checks
Those checking goods-in and production progress who want systematic checks, not goodwill-dependent ones.
Subcontracting & mechanics
Companies whose customers demand documented quality on measurements, lots and non-conformities.
Sectors with lots and recalls
Food, cosmetics, devices: where a defect must be traced quickly to lot and deliveries.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about quality control software
What's good quality control software for an SME?
For manufacturing SMEs, quality integrated in the main suite is best, so checks trigger inside receipts and production and non-conformities trace back to lots and suppliers. Odoo covers control points, measurements, alerts and traceability; Gitogi configures it around your real processes.
Can I make checks mandatory?
Yes. The check is enforced by the flow: when an operation reaches a control point, the outcome must be recorded to proceed. Checks stop depending on goodwill.
Does it handle measurements with tolerances?
Yes. You define the nominal value and tolerances; the operator records the measured value and out-of-range readings are flagged immediately, with the option to raise a non-conformity.
Does it help with ISO 9001 certification?
No software certifies anyone, but systematically recording checks, outcomes and non-conformities produces the documentary basis audits ask for. During analysis we configure control points around your quality system's procedures.
How much does Odoo's quality control cost?
Prices and editions are on odoo.com, always up to date. Gitogi does not resell licences: we handle control-point setup, tolerances, quality teams and training. For an estimate, get in touch.
Do I also need manufacturing in Odoo?
Checks work best hooked into manufacturing and inventory, but you can start with goods-in checks and add the rest when needed, on the same platform.
