Case Study: Chemical House becomes a smart, cloud-enabled manufacturer in one week with Odoo

No More Textual User Interface that Frustrates Professional Chemists

Chemical House is a small-batch chemical manufacturer on the Gold Coast producing thousands of specialty products for janitorial, construction, pool and automotive clients. Their locally hosted, text-based ERP was difficult to learn, expensive to maintain, inaccessible off-site, and split across multiple systems (including a separate CRM), which drove high training costs and operational friction—while large commercial alternatives exceeded their budget.

They switched to Odoo Online and went live within a week, migrating ~15,000 stock items, 10,000 BOMs and 3,000+ customers and running both systems side-by-side until staff adopted Odoo. The cloud solution delivered an intuitive UI, fast remote access for sales and accounting, automated invoicing and purchase workflows, and eliminated one admin role—providing a cost-effective, one-stop platform and a clear roadmap for further improvements.
