Arcadia Engineering Private Limited manufactures precision aerospace components for buyers across Europe and North America, parts where tolerance is measured in microns, documentation is non-negotiable, and delivery reliability is a fundamental supplier qualification criterion.
Their production model is inherently complex: 50% of manufacturing happens in-house across Pune and Surat, while the remaining 50% is outsourced to a network of 100+ job work vendors, specialist machinists, finishers, heat treatment shops, and coating vendors spread across India.
Managing this network, while simultaneously running export shipments to demanding international buyers, required an ERP that could handle the full complexity of a global precision parts business. Arcadia brought full operational control under Odoo ERP.
A Business Built on Precision, Across Two Locations and 100+ Partners
Before solutions, it helps to understand the operational complexity Arcadia was managing, and why generic tools simply couldn't keep up.
What Running a Precision Export Business Without the Right ERP Actually Looks Like
Each challenge below carries real risk in aerospace supply chains. Missed deliveries, quality escapes, and lost buyer confidence are the stakes.
Full Odoo ERP Across Every Function, One Platform, Two Locations
Not a partial deployment. Every function from job work dispatch to export documentation to buyer self-service was brought onto Odoo, creating a single operational truth for the entire business.
🌐 B2B Customer Portal, What Buyers in Europe & North America See
Arcadia's European and North American buyers can now log into a branded customer portal, without calling or emailing, and get real-time answers to the questions they ask most frequently. This single capability has transformed how Arcadia is perceived by its international buyers.
Before and After, Across Every Function
"Running a precision aerospace parts business with 100+ job work vendors and export customers in Europe and America, all on WhatsApp and Excel, was getting to a point where one slip could cost us a major buyer. Odoo gave us control we didn't know we were missing. Our buyers now have a portal to check their order status themselves. Our job work vendors have clear dispatch and return schedules. And I can see the cost of every order in real time. The business feels completely different to manage."

Why Aerospace Parts Exporters Can't Afford Informal Systems
In aerospace and precision engineering supply chains, the cost of an information failure is not measured in hours but in customer relationships. A European aerospace buyer who can't get a clear answer on delivery status, or finds a documentation gap in a shipment, doesn't just raise a complaint. They begin qualifying alternative suppliers. In a market where supplier qualification takes months and switching costs are high for buyers, the reverse is also true, as suppliers that demonstrate operational credibility become deeply embedded. The B2B customer portal alone has changed how Arcadia is perceived by its international buyers.
The job work management challenge is a structural reality of Indian precision manufacturing. Very few companies of Arcadia's size have the in-house capability to handle every process (turning, milling, heat treatment, surface coating, and precision grinding) under one roof. The outsourced model is economically rational. But managing 100+ external vendors without a structured ERP for job work management means the efficiency gains from specialisation are eaten up by coordination overhead, material losses, and quality escapes.
For precision parts exporters managing hybrid production models, in-house plus job work, and serving demanding international buyers in Europe and North America, Odoo ERP with the right customisation provides the operational infrastructure to compete at a level that was previously only accessible to much larger manufacturers. Arcadia Engineering is proof of that.
