Why Wyatt
What Is This?
Wyatt is the codename for Nugget Scientific's ERP system, built on Odoo 19 Enterprise. It replaces a patchwork of QuickBooks, a custom-built CRM, and Google Sheets with a single platform that handles accounting, inventory, field service, sales, and purchasing.
Why Are We Doing This?
Three problems drove this project:
We couldn't see our financials clearly. No gross profit by customer, project, or business unit. Leadership was making decisions without the numbers to back them up.
Operations ran on tribal knowledge. No visibility into sub-component inventory, no resource scheduling data, manual SLA tracking. When someone was out, their work was a black box.
Too many manual handoffs. Slow receiving, no status-differentiated inventory, copy-paste between systems. People spent time moving data instead of doing their jobs.
Wyatt fixes this by putting everything in one place. When a system ships, accounting knows. When a part is consumed, inventory updates. When a field engineer logs time, per diems calculate automatically.
Why Odoo?
- Open source — We own our data and can modify or leave the platform whenever we want
- Cost — Over 100% cheaper than most ERPs, 25% cheaper than the nearest competitor
- Simplicity — Easy to learn, no enterprise jargon
- Proven — Teams we trust launched on Odoo with the same implementation group and built a $26M business
What's in These Docs?
This documentation covers the custom modules and configuration built on top of standard Odoo to fit Nugget's specific workflows:
- Modules — Reference pages for each custom module: what it does, how it works, and how to configure it
- Guides — Step-by-step instructions for development setup, deployment, and operations
Standard Odoo features (accounting, inventory, CRM, etc.) are covered by Odoo's own documentation. These docs focus on what's unique to Nugget.
