Connecting Field Operations with Odoo & Custom Mobile Applications

Field ServicesMobile AppWeb AppERPGPS TrackingDevelopment

KAMETC partnered with ODOX to streamline its field-service and collection operations through Odoo and purpose-built mobile applications for customers, supervisors, and drivers. The solution connects service requests, field operations, trip planning, vehicle activities, approvals, GPS tracking, documents, and operational updates through one connected workflow.

Managing Complex Field Operations Across Multiple Teams

KAMETC's operations involve multiple stakeholders, including customers, operations managers, supervisors, and drivers.

From receiving service and collection requests to assigning field teams, planning trips, managing vehicle movements, collecting materials, handling approvals, and completing manifests, each stage requires coordination between different teams.

KAMETC needed a more structured way to connect these activities and maintain visibility throughout the operational process.

The challenge

Connecting Every Stage of the Field Operation

KAMETC's field operations involved multiple teams and operational steps that needed to work together. The key challenges included:

Service request management

Managing incoming service and collection requests and converting them into actionable field activities.

Field team coordination

Connecting customers, supervisors, drivers, and operations managers throughout the service lifecycle.

Trip & vehicle management

Planning trips and maintaining visibility into vehicle and activity status.

Customer approvals

Managing approvals and required customer interactions as part of the operational workflow.

Operational documents

Managing manifests and other documents associated with field activities.

Real-time visibility

Providing supervisors with up-to-date information about drivers, tasks, and ongoing activities.

The requirement was to connect these operational stages through a single, structured workflow.

The Odox approach

Connecting Field Operations to Odoo

ODOX connected KAMETC's field operations with Odoo through custom mobile applications designed around the responsibilities of each user group.

Instead of creating a standalone mobile solution, the applications were connected to the Odoo backend so that operational information could move between customers, field teams, supervisors, drivers, and the central system.

Every job now runs as one tracked workflow, from the customer's request to completion.

The solution

One Connected Workflow from Request to Completion

The solution combines Odoo with three purpose-built mobile applications.

Supervisor app home
Driver chats

Customer app

Customers can interact with the operational process directly through the mobile application.

Key capabilities
  • Raise service requests
  • Manage approvals
  • Track service-related activities
  • Submit required documents

Supervisor app

Supervisors receive a central mobile view of ongoing field activities.

Key capabilities
  • Monitor collection, transit, and drop-off activities
  • View driver and task status
  • Manage requests and tasks
  • Monitor break time
  • Track operational activities

Driver app

Drivers receive and manage their assigned operational activities through the mobile application.

Key capabilities
  • Receive assigned trips and requests
  • Update activity and trip status
  • Share location through GPS
  • Manage arrival and collection activities
  • Handle operational documents
  • Submit driver requests and break information
Real-time coordination

Keeping Customers, Drivers, Supervisors & Odoo in Sync

A key part of the solution was connecting operational updates across the different user groups and the Odoo backend.

Driver status updates are reflected in the Supervisor App, allowing supervisors to monitor ongoing activities. The solution also connects:

Synced live across every app
Status Updates
Notifications
Approvals
GPS Tracking
Operational Records

This creates a more structured flow of information between field teams and the central Odoo system.

From before to after

Moving from Disconnected Updates to Connected Operations

Before

Multiple Stakeholders

Customers, drivers, supervisors, and operations managers working across different stages.

Disconnected Updates

Operational information required coordination between multiple teams.

Limited Field Visibility

Supervisors needed better visibility into driver and task status.

Manual Coordination

Service requests, approvals, trips, documents, and field updates required structured coordination.

Odox transformation

Odoo Integration

Central operational system connecting field activities.

Customer Application

Direct service-request and approval management.

Supervisor Application

Centralised field activity monitoring.

Driver Application

Mobile trip, collection, status, location, and document management.

Real-Time Synchronisation

Operational updates shared between applications and Odoo.

After

A Connected Field Operations Ecosystem

KAMETC's operational workflow is now structured around a connected ecosystem linking:

CustomersOdooSupervisorsDriversTripsGPSDocumentsField Activities
Business impact

Greater Visibility Across Field Operations

The implementation provides KAMETC with a more structured way to manage and monitor its field operations.

Real-time operational visibility

Supervisors can monitor driver and task status through the mobile application.

Customer self-service

Customers can raise service requests and participate in approval workflows through the mobile application.

Connected field operations

Drivers, supervisors, customers, and Odoo are connected through a unified operational workflow.

Structured trip management

Trip assignments, activity updates, collection, transit, and drop-off are managed through connected processes.

GPS-based visibility

Driver location information supports greater awareness of ongoing field activities.

Centralized document management

Manifests and operational documents are incorporated into the field workflow.

Structured approvals & notifications

Approvals and operational notifications are integrated into the overall process.

One workflow, from request to completion.

The outcome

From Service Request to Completion, Connected Through Odoo

By connecting Odoo with purpose-built mobile applications, ODOX created a structured digital workflow for KAMETC's field operations.

The solution brings customers, supervisors, drivers, and operations teams into one connected process, providing greater visibility across service requests, field activities, trips, collections, vehicle movements, approvals, GPS updates, and operational documents.

The result is a more connected foundation for managing complex field operations through Odoo and custom digital applications.
