Odoo for mining and quarrying companies, around the equipment.
A quarry or a mine is a fleet of expensive machines with a business attached. When a loader is down, so is the revenue.
We set up Odoo for the business around the pit: maintenance, parts, purchasing, sales, and cost by site. Mine planning and safety compliance are specialist systems, and Odoo does not replace them.
- Written scope before work starts
- Built on staging
- Supported after launch
Where a quarry loses production.
Maintenance that reacts
Service intervals are tracked on a whiteboard. A machine is serviced when it stops, and it stops at the worst time.
Parts nobody can find
The storeroom has the filter somewhere. It is quicker to order another, so the company owns three.
Tickets retyped into invoices
Every load produces a scale ticket. Someone keys each one into accounting at the end of the week.
Cost by site unknown
Fuel, parts, labor, and royalties are known in total. Which pit carries which cost is an estimate.
Odoo for mining and quarrying companies: what it covers.
A service plan for every machine
Every machine has a record, a service plan, and a history. Requests from operators become work orders with parts and time.
A storeroom you can search
Spare parts are stocked by location with minimums and reorder rules. Parts used are recorded on the work order.
Orders and invoices by weight
Customer price lists by product and by ton, delivery records, and invoices built from delivered quantities.
Analytic accounts by site and machine
Purchases, fuel, labor, and maintenance are tagged to a site or a machine, so cost per ton is a report.
| Need | Usually configuration | Needs its own scope |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment upkeep | Preventive schedules, work orders, and service history. | Meter readings fed from telematics, and condition monitoring. |
| Scale tickets | Manual entry or file import of delivered loads. | A live connection to the scale or weighbridge software. |
| Haulage | Fleet records, drivers, and delivery orders. | Dispatch, routing, and haulier settlement. |
| Compliance | Document storage, dates, and reminders. | Safety and environmental reporting. Those requirements come from your regulators. |
This is a guide, not a price list or a promise. What applies to you depends on your Odoo plan, your current software, and your rules, and it is settled in a written scope before work starts. See Odoo implementation and Odoo integrations.
Keep the scale software and the planning tools.
Scale and ticketing software, mine planning tools, and safety systems are built for the pit and should stay. The usual project connects the scale tickets to invoicing, and puts maintenance, parts, and purchasing into one system. That is where the retyping and the downtime are.
Connecting systems that are not Odoo is covered under API and systems integration, and software built for your own rules under custom software.
One machine, from service alert to back in the pit.
This is how the work can move once the steps share one record. Your version will differ, and which steps are configuration or integration depends on your setup.
-
A service comes due
The loader reaches its service date. A work order is created with the parts list for that service.
-
Parts are reserved
The storeroom sees what is needed. Anything missing becomes a purchase suggestion before the machine is parked.
-
The work is done
The mechanic records time and parts used on the work order from a tablet.
-
The cost lands
Parts and labor post to that machine and that site. Cost per operating hour stops being a guess.

Six phases, one accountable team.
-
Understand the workflows
We follow real work through your operation: where it starts, who touches it, where it waits, and where it gets retyped. You get a written scope that says what we found and what we recommend.
-
Configure and integrate
Configuration first, integration second, custom work last and only where the first two fall short. Everything is built on staging, not on your live system.
-
Validate the data
Your records are cleaned and loaded on a test copy, then checked by the people who know them. Bad data is the most common reason a launch disappoints.
-
Train the team
Each team learns its own part on its own real cases. Short written guides stay behind.
-
Launch
A planned cutover with a checklist, a way back, and us on hand while the first real work goes through.
-
Support
After launch the system has an owner. Odoo Support runs month to month, and Odoo Operations is a committed engagement for teams that want us to own the platform.
Questions we hear from mining and quarrying companies.
Can Odoo read our scale tickets?
Not on its own. Tickets can be imported from a file as a first step, and a live connection depends on what your scale software offers. We look at that software before we quote the connection.
Can maintenance be scheduled by engine hours?
Odoo's standard maintenance plans run on dates. Scheduling by engine hours needs meter readings recorded and a rule built on them, which is light custom work. Feeding the readings automatically from telematics is integration work.
Does Odoo handle safety compliance?
It can store documents, training dates, and inspection records with reminders. It is not compliance software, and what must be recorded comes from your safety officer and your regulators.
What does Odoo cost for mining and quarrying companies, and how long does it take?
Both depend on the workflows, the state of the data, and the number of integrations, so we do not publish a price list or a standard timeline. You get a written scope with a quote and dates, and nothing starts until you approve it.
What happens after launch?
The system keeps an owner. Odoo Support runs month to month for fixes, changes, and questions. Odoo Operations is a committed engagement for teams that want us to own the platform, including upgrades.
Tell us what you extract and what you run it with.
A short message is enough: what you do, what you run today, and where the work gets stuck. If Odoo is on the table, the Odoo Assessment is free and ends in a written Preliminary Scope.
