Operational improvement
First the process, then the software
We make business processes simpler and leaner, and show the new way of working in Odoo before anything is built.
Improvement starts with the process
Software solves nothing if the underlying processes are wrong. That is why we start with the process, not with Odoo, and why the result is visible before a decision is made.
01
As-is
How it works today
We walk the processes with you, on the shop floor and in the office, from order to payment. Separate from the software: the process exists without the package too.
Who does what, and where it waits
Where work is done twice and time is lost
02
To-be
How it will work
The improved version of the as-is: fewer steps, clear roles, complex constructions simplified. Together we decide which step stays, merges or disappears.
Lean, not needlessly complex
Yours, and usable without Odoo too
03
Proof of concept
Your own system, in Odoo
We rebuild the to-be with real items, customers and orders. That makes the new system visible before a decision is made, and lets us check whether everything is covered.
The look and feel of your own system, even when Odoo is new to you
What is covered is settled, what is missing goes into the plan
After this track you have the as-is and the to-be on paper, the replace-or-integrate choice per application, a proof of concept in Odoo and a phased plan. Everything we write down stays yours.
We challenge the process
Lean means fewer steps, not less control
What has grown historically is not automatically needed. At every step we ask the question nobody inside asks any more.
01
Why does this step happen?
02
Who needs the result?
03
What goes wrong if it disappears?
What the to-be records
A description of the company as it will work, before a single screen has been configured.
Business flows from end to end
From order to payment, from purchase to payment, from forecast to delivery.
Data flows between applications
Which data goes where, and which system is the source.
Roles and responsibilities
Who decides what, including the roles that are new.
Communication with customers and suppliers
What happens automatically, and what stays personal.
Applications: replace or integrate
Not everything has to be replaced by Odoo. An application that is good at its job stays, and we build the integration. What Odoo does equally well, we replace. That makes the system simpler: one application less.
Integrate
Webshop
Accounting package
WMS or machines
Good at their job. Odoo stays the place where order, stock and accounting come together.
Replace
Planning in Excel
Separate lists and double entry
What Odoo does equally well no longer needs to exist separately.
CUSTOMER STORY
What it brought Festicup
Festicup rents out reusable cups to events and washes them in its own washing centre. In three months they moved from SAP Business One to Odoo.
The implementation has led to significant time savings, particularly from quotation to invoice, and has improved Festicup’s operational efficiency.

Where does your process get stuck today?
We come by, walk along and say honestly what we see, even when the answer is not software.
