Astron: Keeping project procurement connected to execution
An Odoo contracting design that follows materials from project requests and purchasing through construction activity and inventory control.
TDS + Odoo
Project-linked control
Industry transformation case study
The client & the challenge
Start with the business.
Astron operates in industrial manufacturing and contracting, where steel products and project execution bring procurement, materials and delivery responsibilities together. TDS’s historical project references describe an Odoo solution customized for Astron’s contracting business.
For a contractor, purchasing a material is only the beginning of its financial and operational story. Teams need to know which project requested it, how it was approved, whether it was purchased or subcontracted, and how it moved into execution. Astron’s requirements focused on preserving that project connection throughout the workflow.

The documented workflow distinguishes procurement and subcontracting by project, provides project warehouse handling, and connects construction orders to BOQ or product lines. Inventory issue approvals and completion-related stock movements extend control into execution.
Business value first
What the design makes possible
Trace a commitment to its purpose
A project reference on procurement creates a practical basis for understanding why a purchase was made and which delivery obligation it supports.
Make material movement accountable
Project warehouses and issue approvals help connect physical stock movements to the teams and jobs consuming those materials.
Bridge contracting and manufacturing
Construction orders connect material inputs and completed outputs, reflecting the combined manufacturing and contracting nature of the business.
TDS’s historical references confirm an Odoo solution customized for Astron’s contracting business. The illustrated workflow reflects documented project design; no quantified post-implementation savings or profitability increase is claimed.
