Upgrading and expanding Odoo for Crème de la Crème

The Challenge

Creme de la Creme faced specific challenges and pain points while working on an open-source Odoo version (v7) which was extensively customized to their needs. Dissatisfaction with their existing system prompted them to seek a transition to Odoo v15 on-premise. The customer required Odoo development on their system, including a custom front end for managing production and logistics operations. Last but not least the customer required a system to plan in preventative maintenance for their expensive machinery.

The Solution

We delivered a range of services to address the customer's needs, including a business assessment, Odoo development, training, and tailor-made software solutions. The implementation involved key Odoo modules such as Manufacturing, Sales, Purchase, CRM, Quality, Inventory, Accounting, and Helpdesk.

The project spanned five months, focusing on migrating from the current Odoo v7 open source to Odoo v15. Our approach involved discussions, assessments, proof of concepts, and incremental deliveries through sprints, each aligned with the customer's requirements. Unique and custom solutions included a custom front end for production and logistics operations, EDI connections (Goods despatched, Invoice, Orders, Purchase, Stock counts for external warehouses), a factoring interface with Belfius Bank, and integrations with external warehouses.

The Impact

Our services delivered positive outcomes and improvements for the customer. These included reduced maintenance costs for the ERP system, decreased paperwork, increased automation in business processes, and successful integrations with other systems. The overall impact showcased enhanced operational efficiency and a more streamlined business flow.
