Case Study: Fruity Chutes achieves streamlined operations and inventory visibility with Odoo

Fruity Chutes Disrupts the Aerospace Industry with Some Help from Odoo

Fruity Chutes is a Los Gatos–based manufacturer and world leader in recovery systems and parachutes for drones, rockets and UAS manufacturers. As a small but growing company selling direct to OEMs and consumers, they were overwhelmed managing hundreds of purchase orders, sewing partners and shipments with Excel—resulting in scattered sales orders, poor inventory visibility and time‑consuming manual work.

By implementing Odoo (Sales, Inventory, Purchase, Accounting and Manufacturing), Fruity Chutes automated order-to-manufacture and procurement flows, enabled real‑time inventory tracking, and integrated invoicing and expense management. The fully integrated system cut routine administrative time, unified online and in‑person sales, improved customer relationships, and gave them the operational visibility to scale sales worldwide.
