The Challenge
Timon has been decorating glass by hand since 1936. Gold, silver, platinum — applied with the kind of precision that only comes from decades of craft. What they didn't have was a production system that matched that level of detail.
Managing manufacturing orders, tracking material consumption across precious metals, and planning production runs for custom handmade pieces — all of it was running on processes that couldn't scale with the business.
Where We Started
Before configuring a single module, we mapped how Timon actually works. Handmade production is not a standard assembly line — every piece is different, every order has its own material profile, and every batch of gold or platinum needs to be tracked with precision. The system had to reflect that reality, not flatten it.
A Manufacturing System Built for Craft
We implemented Odoo MRP around Timon's production workflow — custom Bills of Materials for each product type, work orders structured around their handmade process, and real-time tracking of raw material consumption including precious metals.
What used to be managed through memory and manual records became a system. Every production order tied to the right materials. Every batch traceable from raw glass to finished piece.
Precious Materials — Tracked Precisely
Gold, silver, and platinum aren't ordinary inventory. We built the material tracking around that reality — consumption per order, stock levels monitored in real time, and automatic alerts before a critical material runs short.
For a company where material cost is directly tied to the value of the product, visibility at this level isn't a nice-to-have. It's the difference between a profitable order and a costly mistake.
The Result
An 88-year-old craft company — now running on a system that respects the complexity of what they make. Production is planned. Materials are tracked. And the people doing the work spend their time on the craft, not on chasing information.
