The complete equipment lifecycle, from request to retirement in one app.

Employee equipment requests, multi-level approval, stock allocation, custody tracking, returns, repairs and one-click offboarding — all in one Odoo app, with a self-service portal for employees.

The problem

Laptops, phones, monitors and licenses get requested over email, approved in ad-hoc chats, and handed out with no record of who has what. When equipment breaks, is returned, or an employee leaves, there is no audit trail to fall back on — just spreadsheets, guesswork, and lost assets.

The solution

Employees request equipment from a self-service portal, Department Managers and HR approve in sequence, and approved requests move real stock to the requester. Every assignment, return, repair and transfer is logged, so custody, condition and cost are always traceable — right through to one-click offboarding.

Capabilities

Everything you need to run equipment operations

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Employee Equipment Requests

Self-service submission of hardware and software requests, organized by category such as laptop, phone, monitor, license or tool.

02

Multi-Level Approval Workflow

Requests route through configurable Department Manager and HR Officer approval steps, with explicit rejection reasons when a request is declined.

03

Stock-Backed Allocation

Approving a request creates a real internal stock transfer to the requester, so nothing is issued that is not actually on hand.

04

Custody and Assignment Tracking

Every handover creates a time-stamped assignment record showing exactly who holds what equipment and since when.

05

Condition-Classified Returns with Photos

Returns are classified good, damaged by user, damaged in transit or configuration dispute, and captured with photo evidence.

06

Repair Management

Send equipment out for vendor or in-house repair, track the expected return date, and resume custody automatically once it comes back.

07

Transfers and One-Click Offboarding

Reassign equipment between employees or locations, or recover every asset from a departing employee in a single action.

08

Warranty, Cost and Barcode Labels

Track purchase cost and warranty dates, and print QR-coded labels for fast physical identification and audit.

09

Employee Self-Service Portal

Employees without a backend seat can submit requests, confirm receipt, and see their assigned equipment from a browser.

Workflow

How it works

1

Request

An employee submits an equipment request from the backend or the portal, picking a category and quantity.

2

Approve

The request routes through Department Manager and HR Officer approval, with a reason recorded if it is rejected.

3

Allocate and Assign

Approval creates a stock transfer and a custody assignment record for the employee.

4

Return, Repair or Offboard

Equipment comes back through a condition-classified return, vendor or in-house repair, or a one-click offboarding when the employee leaves.

Questions

Frequently asked

No sales fog. If your question isn't here, email us and we'll answer it the same way.

Approving a request creates a real internal stock transfer via Odoo Stock, so allocated equipment is actually removed from available stock, not just noted on a form.
