Case Study for construction industry

After identifying the need for a new system, the search for the right software began. The owner of the Trading Company, attended an Odoo Roadshow in November 2019. There he was introduced to Odoo and met with enthusiasm from Odoo Partner. After further critical examination, the owner decided to go in favour of the Odoo Partner as their implementation partner and Odoo as their software solution due to its modularity, adaptability and third-party app capabilities.

During the implementation, the main focus became using an approach that used as much of Odoo standard as possible. Here, communication and understanding of the company’s previous business processes and new objectives were very important. For this reason, the Odoo partner took a significant amount of preparation time for this.

This preparation time consistently showed that “complicated” ideas can be implemented just as well with Odoo standard, one of the many third-party apps available in the Odoo app store or a clean, company-specific adaptation. A big advantage of this approach, in contrast to custom in-house developments, is low implementation and maintenance costs. Where special requirements call for customer-specific extensions, The Odoo Partner made this possible with suitable extension technologies. For the Trading Company’s Odoo solution, a healthy mix of standard functionalities, company-specific developments and third-party apps were used.

After the clarifications and preparations in June 2020, the implementation took place from mid-July to December 2020. The implementation time was five months. Despite the limitations given in 2020, the project was still able to continue thanks to modern video technology. The go-live took place successfully at the beginning of 2021.
