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

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).

Braintec-group implemented a customised portal solution to digitally submit applications for the promotion of photovoltaic plants. Pronovo AG is a medium-size company responsible for processing and compensating of around 30000 subsidy applications of sustainable electricity producers per year. Therefore Pronovo AG is one of the key players in order to transform Switzerland into a sustainable, CO2 neutral country.

The tool consists of a frontend part (portal) and the backend part (where the subsidies are processed by Pronovo AG):

The Frontend part provides solutions for:
- User Registration and Management
- Dynamic Application Form for the subsidy
- Case form tempates in order to save time during the application

The Backend part provides solutions for:
- A rule based workflow engine to manage the applications
- Validation of the passed data including automated validation and integrated approval processes
- Integration of required third party system interfaces
- The administration of the dynamic application form
- The extended administration for portal users and and their roles
- Automated e-mails depending on the workflow of a case

With Odoo Pronovo AG is now way more efficient while processing and managing these applications.

Key learnings:
- How to provide dynamic portal views
- Digitalization of analog application processes

Value to the audience:
- Processing and digitalizing of applications of all kinds

Target audience:
- Project Managers, Consultannts, Clients

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.

Many projects need at some point to do massive and complex imports of data from their systems to Odoo.

In this cases, usually we find many different problems with the data quality given or it could be that we cannot match existing records already imported or created in the system, the import of massive data is too slow. Or we are not able to import and create all related models records at the same time, forcing us to plan for it and make the process slow and complex. Even more when an error occurs.

For example, trying to import products with their variants and attributes or categories, etc. Or Purchase Orders with their Lines on a single file.

For this reason, Braintec-group has developed a specific tool to extend and add new features to the existing Importing options given.

With this module, the users can:
- Import data for several related models at the same time from a single file.
- Import data on batches, or select different delimiters, or columns. Or define conditions to skip some lines or inactive records.
- Import data based on any field to compare existing records.
- Decide to import data based in another related model records.
- What actions this data needs to perform in the Database.
- Code a few lines in the import to transform the data or add new data before inserting it if needed. Or check that related records already exist in the Database to allow the import of the line.

And many more features. With almost endless possibilities. All supported by Job Queue.

The value to the audience is given in a demo explaining and showing how all these features work for the most typical situations where we can make use of them to make easier the import of massive data from our clients to an Odoo system.

The current budgeting tool offered in Odoo Enterprise is rather limited and it is not integrated with financial reports such as Profit & Loss. Furthermore, the task of forecasting based on a budget or a previous forecast is not something enabled in a standard Odoo solution. For these reasons, brain-tec group decided to develop the "Financial Plans" app. This talk will cover the functions and capabilities of this app and is targeted to finance advisors and account managers.

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.

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.

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).
