Our Solution
Odoo + CPQ
Kentmaster has been a trusted name in the meat processing equipment industry for over 50 years. Headquartered in Monrovia, California, with branch offices and distributors worldwide, Kentmaster designs and manufactures specialized carcass-cutting tools, vacuum cleaning systems, and custom-built offal byproduct solutions. Their Omaha branch plays a crucial role in developing equipment like pork stomach openers, automatic intestine cutters, and carcass cleaning systems that meet the highest industry standards.
Mounting NetSuite license & maintenance expenses with limited flexibility to customize, made them think, it was time for a change.
No centralized system to track stock, prevent negative balances, or manage serial numbers.
Payment tracking and overdue follow-ups were manual, time-consuming, and prone to delays.
Products were transferred or stored without predefined rules, creating errors and slowing operations.
Sales teams struggled with product configuration and quoting, often relying on external tools, leading to pricing inconsistencies and errors.
Leadership lacked timely visibility into operations, making data-driven decisions difficult.
