In the fast-evolving world of industrial air movement solutions, efficiency and precision are essential. Indventech, a South Carolina-based company specializing in air quality systems for industrial and commercial spaces, needed an integrated solution to streamline operations. With Odoo, Indventech transformed its approach to managing quotes, orders, invoicing, and customer relationships, significantly improving efficiency and reducing administrative workload.
Founded in 2009 by Keenan White, Indventech emerged from White’s extensive experience in industrial fan manufacturing. Having worked alongside his family in Wisconsin, White relocated to South Carolina in 2007 and recognized an opportunity to bring a specialized approach to industrial ventilation and air movement in the region.
Unlike traditional HVAC companies, Indventech focuses on non-mechanically conditioned air movement solutions, including:
- Industrial fans and blowers
- Dust collectors and fume extraction systems
- Ductwork solutions for optimized airflow
“Our goal is to ensure that every system functions effectively by identifying and implementing the right air movement solutions for the job.”
Disjointed Systems Slowing Growth
Before adopting Odoo ERP, Indventech relied on multiple disconnected tools, including QuoteWerks for quotes and Microsoft tools for customer data. This fragmented system resulted in:
- Manual data transfers between platforms
- Inefficiencies and potential errors in processing quotes and invoices
- Time-consuming administrative tasks that hindered growth
White explored several ERP solutions in search of a system that would unify operations, streamline workflow, and support Indventech’s growth without incurring exorbitant costs.
"We needed a system where everything could be managed in one place without excessive complexity or cost."
A Smarter Way to Work: Odoo’s Impact
- Automated Quote-to-Invoice Process: Eliminating manual data entry, reducing errors, and cutting invoicing time in half.
- Cloud-Based Accessibility: Real-time access to quotes, orders, and customer information from any device, enabling seamless collaboration.
- Improved Team Collaboration: Instant updates and streamlined workflows across departments.
By eliminating redundant steps and centralizing data, Odoo has freed up approximately 50% of the time previously spent on administrative tasks. This allows White and his team to focus on strategic growth and customer service.
“Now, everything moves fluidly from one stage to the next, eliminating the need for double-checking or manual transfers. This has cut invoicing time in half."
Future growth: Expanding with Big Fan Man
As Indventech continues to grow, the company is integrating its latest venture, Big Fan Man, a brand dedicated to large-scale industrial fans. This initiative aims to:
- Expand market reach and generate new leads
- Enhance marketing and sales strategies using Odoo
- Provide customized airflow solutions for industrial applications
“Big Fan Man is our newest focus, and we’re exploring how best to integrate it with Odoo to optimize our efforts,” says White.
Although Indventech has successfully leveraged Odoo’s core functionalities, White remains open to exploring additional modules that could further enhance efficiency and customer engagement.
For businesses in industrial air movement, manufacturing, or air quality sectors, Odoo offers a powerful solution to streamline operations and enhance efficiency.
