What is Odoo PLM?
Odoo PLM is part of the broader Odoo ERP suite, offering a modern, intuitive, and fully integrated approach to managing product lifecycle processes. Whether you're in manufacturing, engineering, or design, Odoo PLM helps you manage engineering changes, documentation, versions, and collaboration—all in one unified platform.
Key Features of Odoo PLM
