Case studies

What running your business on Danmai-built Odoo looks like.

Lighting manufacturer — Guangdong

Export manufacturer with 41,000+ products and 19,000+ BOMs. Danmai implemented full Odoo 19: sales, purchasing with email-based PO approval, manufacturing with scan-driven receiving and quality documents, and one-button export customs packs. The whole flow — quotation, production, quality, shipping, customs papers — lives in one system.

Result: customs documents in minutes, not afternoons

EOR and managed services — Guangzhou

A services firm managing employees for foreign companies in China. Danmai built the HR backbone in Odoo 19: bilingual employment contracts, e-sign onboarding launched automatically on hire, appraisals on contract anniversaries, payroll, fapiao-validated expenses, and a mobile portal every employee uses.

Result: HR admin that runs itself, in two languages

Aviation supplier — Hong Kong

Long-time Odoo 16 user with heavy customizations and slow access from the mainland. Danmai migrated the system to Odoo 19, rebuilt the custom planning workflow cleanly, and set up China network acceleration so mainland users get a fast, reliable system.

Result: modern Odoo, fast from inside China

Factory IT — beyond the ERP

ERP is half the job. Servers, Cisco networks, machines and clean exits are the other half — all done hands-on.

Aluminum foundry and CNC factory — Nantong

Complete factory IT from scratch: new server setup, new Cisco network — and automatic MES reporting straight from the CNC machines. Machine data flows in by itself.

Result: production reporting without manual typing

New factories, Danish valve manufacturer — Ma’anshan, Anhui

Full IT setup for newly built production facilities: servers, Cisco network, workstations and connectivity — ready for production from day one.

Result: factories IT-ready at opening

German electronics manufacturer — Shanghai

New server and new Cisco network for a small German manufacturer — enterprise-grade reliability, sized and priced for an SMB.

Result: stable base, no IT headcount needed

New factory, Swedish manufacturer — Tianjin

IT setup for a newly built factory: new servers and a new Cisco Meraki network — modern, cloud-managed, ready for production.

Result: factory online on schedule
no IT headcount needed in China

Factory decommissioning — Nantong

Closed a full site the right way: 150 computers cleaned of all data, the complete ERP and file server backed up and shipped to the UK.

Result: clean exit, zero data left behind

The track record behind it

Before founding Danmai IT, Niels P. Olesen ran production and enterprise IT across Europe and Asia:

10 years of production IT — Grundfos A/S, Denmark — set up factory and production IT in new plants across many countries, long before ERP was the easy part.

1,000+ user global migration — regional IT manager for a European valve manufacturer, zero-disruption migration across 30+ countries.

APAC infrastructure, 6 countries — IT director for a German automotive supplier: standardized systems, 24/7 production IT, full disaster recovery.

AI quoting platform — global IT manager for a precision manufacturing scale-up: custom metal part quotes in 30 seconds instead of days — on an Odoo platform with 258,000+ products and 186,000+ auto-generated BOMs with correct workcenter and machine assignment.
