Odoo Experience

Minimax, a global leader in fire protection, has successfully transitioned its subsidiaries from SAP to Odoo, achieving greater efficiency and operational simplicity. This transformation highlights how Odoo’s robust and scalable ERP solution can seamlessly support large enterprises, even alongside SAP. As a special bonus, this talk will explore smooth SAP data migration strategies. With an annual turnover of €1.7bn and a workforce of around 9,000 employees worldwide, Minimax Viking Group operates in diverse industries—from automotive and power plants to logistics and data centers. As a company with multiple research, development, and manufacturing sites, Minimax required an agile yet comprehensive ERP system to manage its subsidiaries outside the SAP group structure. Odoo emerged as the ideal solution, offering seamless integration and scalability to meet complex enterprise needs. In collaboration with braintec, Minimax adopted a structured implementation approach using a carefully curated global template. The rollout followed a strategic progression: integrating individual company processes, incorporating core operations, and finally aligning with diverse market requirements. This method enabled Minimax to fully leverage Odoo’s All-in-One suite as a powerful, standalone solution. Join this session to gain insights into Minimax’s transition journey, key challenges, and best practices for large-scale Odoo implementations—especially for enterprises navigating SAP coexistence and migration. Odoo as a robust and versatile ERP software that caters to the complex needs of large corporations, offering seamless integration and scalability to improve efficiency, was the the best alternative on the market. And so Odoo was chosen to streamline the subsidiaries outside of the SAP Group structure. To implement Odoo, braintec provided Minimax with a step-by-step process considering a carefully curated global template. Initially, individual company processes were integrated into Odoo ERP, followed by core processes and ultimately all market requirements. This allowed Minimax to benefit from the full power of the Odoo All-in-One suite as a comprehensive software solution, outside the SAP group structure. Try Odoo online at https://www.odoo.com/r/xGhi

Upgrading an Odoo instance is usually a time-consuming and demanding process, both for you and your customer. Therefore, it is understandable that a customer might try to delay upgrading their Odoo as long as possible, especially if they have extensive customizations. This delay often means entering a phase where your customer's Odoo is no longer supported by Odoo SA. As an Odoo partner, it is your responsibility to try to avoid this as much as possible (for the sake of your customers). However, this isn't always possible, and it is also your responsibility to be there for them and help them move on from an unsupported version at their own pace. In this talk, we would like to provide insights, gathered from our extensive personal experience, on how to support your customers in this challenging journey. Some important topics we would like to cover are: - Customizations analysis - Customer assessment - Upgrade strategies - Effective communications - Roadmap definition Try Odoo online at https://www.odoo.com/r/xGhi

Dominik Rütti, our project manager, will show you in the presentation how our new module facilitates the automatic posting of transactions in Odoo. Percentages of each invoice item can be posted precisely to accounts independently of Odoo's analytical accounting - ideal for medium-sized companies for cost planning. Use cases, customised setups and a live demo of the module functions will also be presented.

Learn from Damian Bürgin, our project manager, how the SV Group successfully converted over 500 restaurants from SAP to Odoo. The presentation highlights the scope of the project - from implementation and change management to seamless data processing from POS to invoicing - as well as the new cash management system. Insights into efficient financial processes included!

In this talk, Michael Ptas, our project manager, presents the implementation of a self-service shop in Odoo v16 for a marketplace company that is not the owner of the goods sold. BT-Arba (automated, rule-based accounting) is used to overcome the challenges in accounting and stock management. Improvements to the POS system, such as visual and functional enhancements and semi-automated accounting functions, will also be discussed.

Landi is one of the big retailers in Switzerland, organized in many local co-ops spread all over the country. Engrained in their DNA, is the close ties to their local customers, often from rural communities. Being founded by local farmers, this also manifests in their approach to eCommerce: When customers order, goods can be collected at the local store or delivered to their homes - but in any case, the order is always prepared in the local store, never in any central warehouse far away.

This created a solution that is very widespread and distributed in nature. A webshop that integrated with their existing website on one side and many interfacing systems for the fulfillment on the other hand - and all integrated with an existing IT landscape with master data coming together from different places - needed to be connected.

Here Odoo got the role as the cornerstone of the architecture. Every piece of information is routed through Odoo, which is the single source of truth for everything eCommerce.
Specifically, master data from different systems need to be handled and forwarded, every order is automated in Odoo and every step of the process is tracked in detail until the order is collected or delivered using one of the different delivery services and types. All customer communication through email, text, or push messages is centrally done through Odoo. Additionally, the Helpdesk app is used to handle all exceptions and customer inquiries centrally. Of course, the customer invoices and vendor bills are also automated and managed in Odoo.

For Landi, Odoo now does all the heavy lifting in the core of their eCommerce architecture that offers the 360° view of the operations as well as keeps the door open for dynamic and flexible development in the future.

This talk will give an overview of the architecture and deep dive into some remarkable details of the implementation that will be valuable to anyone thinking about using Odoo in an environment of existing other systems that need to be integrated.

Brain-tec developed an extension to the Helpdesk app to make the balanced ticket assignation more intelligent. It adds skills of the user and its attendance state as conditions relevant for assigning tickets. The module also provides the possibility to add a maximum number of tickets a user can be assigned.

The talk might be interesting for after-sales organizations that manage many agents (users) and customers (tickets).

Do you know how complicated payroll computations are?

Get your Payroll computed with a few clicks! Transmit all regulatory documents with another few clicks!

In this talk, you will learn how we extended Odoo to comply with regulatory requirements of insurances and state institutions in Switzerland.

Users will learn how easily you can handle your Swiss Payroll integrated within your other Odoo processes (e.g. time sheets); how your human resources (HR) department can handle your employees’ needs in time, and how the payroll is done in seconds.

Partners will learn how implementing complicated rules and regulations means an enormous investment to an app developer. We will tell you how brain-tec AG took that obstacle and reached official certification by Swissdec. By changing our pricing model we offer all Partners the opportunity to take part in the success of our module without having to make the tremendous investment we did.

Happy to see you there!

We can consider a document "audit-proof" if its content cannot be lost or modified once it is created.

Some countries, such as Germany [1], have rules which require some documents to be tracked in order to ensure, among others requirements, that they have not been modified.

We have developed a module which adds this functionality to Odoo.
- It gives a quick overview of the status of the files.
- It allows to select the models whose files will be audited by the company.
- It contain reports with information of the integrity of the files.

Key learnings:
We will introduce a module which implements audit-proof in Odoo, including examples, in order to show its potential.

Value to the audience:
You will learn what our module can do in order to use it in your Odoo (or to offer it to your customers in case of an Odoo partner) and forget about this topic.

Target audience:
Any people whose project is based on countries that require to audit the files in order to guarantee they follow the standards.

In this talk, I present an artificial intelligence-powered product recommender app for Odoo 14 that learns how different products are combined together from past sales, automatically fills in the convenient fields Odoo already provides, and thus allows for a more profitable upselling out of the box.

Motivation: Most medium to large-size companies need to extract insights from the data acquired by the daily operations that keep piling up in the database as unrelated records. The ultimate purpose of this insight is to find patterns that help increase revenue. While large companies have departments dedicated to extracting this valuable information, this is not usually the case for medium to medium-large size companies. I target this talk at this audience so they can make use of an app we developed for Odoo 14 that leverages the building blocks of Odoo to provide product recommendation.

Content: In this presentation, I talk about what a product recommender is, why it's important for non-small companies, which are the features you have to have a look at if you have to choose a product recommender, and then I present our product recommender app for Odoo.

As Odoo continues to become a powerful ERP, we’re faced with many customer requests to include Odoo in their Supply Chains using EDI*. In this talk we will give a brief overview how the EDI flow works in general based on message types.

We will demonstrate a use case and how the system is implemented including proper error handling. The target audience for this talk is all companies using Odoo and have the need to implement complex supply chains with multiple parties, following industrial standards.

The value to the audience is given in an overview of how processes can be handled and automated, as well as discussing technical and functional questions, as the head developer will lead the technical part of the presentation. The structure of the talk will be a quick presentation followed by a live demo.

*EDI is a quite vague word for a connection between many parties, so we need to specify that we focused on the GS1 XML 3.4 Standard.

Professional project management is a major success factor in ERP projects. Scrum is an agile project management framework that fits the Odoo world perfectly. This talk will focus on requirements management, prototyping with Odoo Studio and delivery in larger Odoo projects.

Requirements Management:
- Backlog & User Stories: How to manage requirements in an agile way.
- Need a Scrum board? Use Odoo!
- "Must Have's" and how to get rid of them.

Prototyping with Odoo Studio:
- Rapid prototyping saves time and money.
- Use the powers of Odoo Studio to impress your audience.

Delivery:
- Go-Live and releases: Start small and early. Release frequently.
- Training: How to train employees effectively in the times of COVID-19.

Why Scrum?
Odoo's "Implementation Methodology" has many things in common with the agile approach of Scrum. In larger projects, Scrum has the advantage of providing more structure for teams consisting of several consultants and/or developers. The goal of this talk is to highlight success factors in large Odoo projects. Drawing from his experience at brain-tec, the biggest Odoo partner in Europe, Nicolas Frei will share insights gained in many large projects since 2014.

Are you a Project Manager, Scrum Master or Odoo Consultant? Do you want to implement Odoo in your company? Then this talk is for you.

Many companies buy products in one unit of measure, for example in kg. Then processes them internally and sells the product again but with a different unit of measure e.g. in packs of 15 kg. For that reason, the braintec-group has developed a sub-module to easily let users set different unit measures for the different parts of the trade process.

This talk shows the path of the products in a trading environment and how they can change from when they’re purchased to when they are sold. This presentation is targeted to users who want to customize Odoo to have a second unit of measurement in different parts of the purchase-sale process.

During the talk, the standalone sub-module features will be explained. Then some examples of real situations will be shown demonstrating how the sub-module has been customized to different clients' needs.

In this presentation, you will learn about the brain-tec SCRUM Module for Standard Odoo Project Management, 100% based on Odoo and dedicated to Project managers or Business Owners as well as Odoo partners running an agile Project. You can also expect an overview of the different features, especially the ones developed for the agile Project (on top of all standard features of Odoo which are also very useful for Projects). This talk will be most beneficial to anyone involved in Projects of Odoo applications or running projects in Odoo.

Odoo offers from the core an LDAP integration. This integration is very helpful in LDAP based environments to manage users in a central place. Our App extends the functionality with clean group integrations so that LDAP OU’s can match user groups in Odoo and the group participation can be managed centrally. All transactions are logged "in a clean way" and users can be deactivated as well inside LDAP.

Watch this talk to find out how to manage user roles in bigger IT environments and see a real use case (500 Employees and a very frequent change of users). Target audience: End Users / Administrators / Integration Partners (no technical background needed).
