Valuechain joins Odoo Partner Programme to strengthen ERP and supply chain support for manufacturers
UK supply chain technology company Valuechain has joined the Odoo Partner Programme as an official Odoo Learning Partner, expanding the support it can offer manufacturers looking to modernise their ERP and supply chain operations.
The partnership brings together Odoo’s modular ERP platform with Valuechain’s specialist expertise in procurement, supplier collaboration, quality and compliance, giving manufacturers access to a more connected approach to managing their operations.
Valuechain has traditionally worked alongside customers’ existing ERP systems, providing the supplier-facing processes and collaboration that sit around the ERP. The partnership with Odoo extends that approach, allowing Valuechain to support manufacturers that are looking to move away from spreadsheets, legacy systems or fragmented software and establish a modern ERP foundation.
As an Odoo Learning Partner, Valuechain can advise on and implement Odoo for manufacturing businesses, support customer training and connect Odoo with the Valuechain supply chain platform. This enables information to flow between the ERP and the supplier-facing processes that sit beyond it.
The offering is particularly relevant to mid-sized manufacturers across sectors including aerospace, automotive, engineering and industrial manufacturing, where supplier performance, quality, procurement and compliance can have a direct impact on production and customer commitments.
Sarah Gleeson, COO at Valuechain, said:
“As a supply chain platform, we have always worked alongside our customers’ ERP systems. Becoming an Odoo Learning Partner is a natural extension of that approach and means we can now support manufacturers from the ERP foundation through to the supplier-facing processes that sit around it. Odoo provides a flexible and modern ERP platform, while Valuechain brings deep expertise in supplier collaboration, procurement, quality and compliance. Bringing those capabilities together gives manufacturers a more joined-up way to modernise their operations and build stronger, more connected supply chains.”
The partnership also reflects Valuechain’s focus on helping manufacturers address the operational gap between their core business systems and their wider supplier networks.
While an ERP provides the transactional foundation for a manufacturing business, supplier relationships involve a much broader range of activity, including commitments, delivery changes, quality issues, corrective actions, onboarding and compliance. Valuechain’s platform is designed to provide greater visibility and collaboration across these areas.
The Odoo partnership provides manufacturers with a route to establish a modern ERP foundation while also having access to specialist supply chain capabilities as their requirements develop.
