Native bilingualism
Configuration, training, documentation: all delivered in your team's language. Essential for public contracts and mixed teams.
For those who can't afford mistakes.
Construction, manufacturing and public sector: three worlds where the information system isn't a comfort, it's a delivery condition. Here's how monday.com (with its native AI and Claude via MCP) and Odoo (open-source management suite with its AI Agents) meet each industry's constraints.
Construction
From bid to job site.
General or specialty contractors, you juggle bids, mobilizations, project tracking, equipment management, subcontractors and compliance. Without a central system, information gets lost. And margin with it. Our flagship angle: monday.com as the operational platform (job sites, crews, vendor invoices via OCR) paired with Odoo for the full management suite (accounting, payroll, purchasing, subcontractors, sales).
What we build for you
- Bid pipeline from initial scoping to signed contract
- Visual job site tracking with real-time status across every project
- Subcontractor and trade coordination on a shared schedule
- Real-time project costs (labor, materials, subcontracting)
- Purchase orders, accounts payable and multi-level approval workflows
- Equipment management: location, maintenance, hourly costs
- Canadian accounting, construction payroll and GST/QST compliance
- Progress billing and contractual holdbacks automated
- Vendor invoice OCR and AI alerts on predictable delays
- Document management: permits, plans, certifications, safety
Manufacturing
From raw material to shipping.
Manufacturing businesses, machine shops, processors: you orchestrate purchasing, production, quality, inventory and shipping, often on tight margins and with deadlines set by your customers. The management platform becomes the nervous system that synchronizes everything, from PO to the truck leaving the dock. Often Odoo at the core (manufacturing, inventory, MRP) with monday.com as a sales and project-orchestration layer.
What we assemble for you
- Custom quoting pipeline and client configuration tracking
- Production orchestrated by MRP: material requirements and shop capacity
- Multi-level bills of materials (BOM) and production routings
- Cost calculated per product, lot or manufacturing order
- Multi-warehouse inventory with FIFO/FEFO, barcodes and traceability
- Order book, customer milestones and shipping-deadline tracking
- Purchase orders, accounts payable and approval workflows
- Non-conformity management and real-time quality indicators
- R&D roadmap and new product development
- AI-powered demand forecasting to smooth purchasing and production
Municipalities & public sector
Compliance, transparency, deliverables.
Municipalities, RCMs, Crown corporations, paragovernmental organizations: you operate in a framework where documentation rigor and traceability aren't optional. RFPs, grants, archives, accountability reporting: every process leaves a trail, every trail is auditable.
What we deploy for you

- Grants management: applications, usage tracking, accountability to funders
- Multi-level approval workflows with complete audit trails

- Document management compliant with archival requirements
Why Horizon Nord
