Industries
Where the numbers depend on the operation.
Five sectors where MFT implements, audits and reports. In each, the finance answer lives in the operational detail: costing, stock, contracts, compliance.
Manufacturing
True product cost, from bill of materials to landed overhead.
What usually goes wrong
- Standard costs that nobody has updated since the bill of materials changed
- Work-in-progress that never reconciles to the ledger
- Scrap, rework and yield losses invisible in the margin report
How MFT helps
- Odoo Manufacturing with routings, work centres and actual costing
- Inventory valuation and WIP controls tested by internal audit
- Monthly product-margin reporting by line and customer
Trading & Distribution
Margin by SKU, customer and channel, after discounts, returns and freight.
What usually goes wrong
- Gross margin reported before rebates, returns and logistics
- Stock in transit and consignment stock outside the system
- Duplicate and near-duplicate vendors paid twice for months
How MFT helps
- Odoo Sales, Purchase and Inventory with landed-cost allocation
- Vendor-master, receivables ageing and credit-limit controls
- Channel and customer profitability in the monthly pack
Food & Beverage
Recipe costing, expiry-driven stock and multi-outlet control.
What usually goes wrong
- Recipe costs drifting with ingredient prices and portion sizes
- Waste and expiry losses recorded late or not at all
- Cash and stock controls across branches and central kitchens
How MFT helps
- Lot and expiry tracking with recipe (BoM) costing in Odoo
- Branch-level P&L with waste and variance reporting
- Cash, purchasing and supplier-payment controls audited on site
Healthcare
Revenue cycle, insurer receivables and consumables under control.
What usually goes wrong
- Claims and insurer receivables reconciled months late
- Consumables and pharmacy stock leaking through weak controls
- Doctor, department and service-line profitability unknown
How MFT helps
- Odoo configured for service-line accounting and insurer billing
- Pharmacy and consumables controls with regular stock audits
- Department and payer profitability reporting
Construction
Project accounting, retentions and subcontractor exposure by site.
What usually goes wrong
- Cost-to-complete and margin per project known only at the end
- Retentions, advances and subcontractor certificates tracked in spreadsheets
- Inventory costing methods left unchanged after supplier contracts change
How MFT helps
- Project-based analytic accounting and budgets in Odoo
- Subcontractor, retention and progress-billing controls
- Project cash-flow forecasting and monthly cost-to-complete review
