Odoo Experience

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

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.

Odoo provides excellent tools to manage all your business cases within some clicks. Over the years, great features have been implemented, and the processes are getting better and more business related. This talk will show you how you can use Odoo as a time management and attendance system with great benefits for your employees and the management based on real customer experience.

We have implemented some additional features to achieve better 360-degree management of the employees' work/attendance/leave time. We ensured that employees had a transparent overview of their work and leave time within one click.

Additionally, we integrated even more features:
- define for each work location public holidays (within the same company)
- define employee break times, which can be recorded
- start and end time for timesheet entries
- overview of current time balance within one click, where time off is included in the overview
- annually cutoff and possibility to close/book end-of-year balances
- and much more!

Managers, consultants, and Odooers looking for a smart timesheet suite will get some insights and ideas on using Odoo as an extended time and attendance management system within any organization.

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!

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.

Are you a trading company in need of offering volume pricing / scale pricing to your customers? Would you like to provide your customers with special prices if their orders amount to a specific quantity / volume? If the answer is yes, then this is your talk!

Standard Odoo pricelists allow you to define different sales prices for one product depending on the quantity you sell of that product. However, sometimes the price of a product does not depend on the quantity you sell of that product, but on the global quantity you sell in a whole sales order. Such a case is not covered by standard Odoo pricelists and that is why you need a specific Volume Pricing / Scale Pricing App.

Example of volume pricing / scale pricing:
- If your order contains 1-100 units of products A & B, the price of A is 10€ and the price of B is 15€.
- If your order contains 101-300 units of products A & B, the price of A is 9.50€ and the price of B is 14.50€.
- If your order contains more than 300 units of products A & B, the price of A is 9.00€ and the price of B is 14.00€.

Therefore, if your order contains 60 units of product A and 250 units of Product B, in total the order contains 310 units and thus, the prices applied are 9.00€ and 14.00€ respectively.

What does our app offer? It allows you to create scale pricing lists, which allows you to define the specific scale prices that a given customer has for a given set of products, defining for each product a specific validity period.


Key learnings:
- What is volume pricing / scale pricing?
- Limitations of standard pricelists
- Scale pricing app


Value to the audience:
- Managing volume pricing / scale pricing in any Odoo flavour (Community and Enterprise).


Target audience:
- Trading companies
- Companies wanting to boost their sales by offering scale prices
- Companies with complex pricing schemes

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.

- 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.

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.

An easy way to integrate Odoo in a landscape with peripheral systems that provide ODBC interfacing. It's a smart approach to introduce Odoo in a complex system architecture that cannot be replaced totally by Odoo in a first step. Target Audience audience are Consultants and developers who are interested in connecting Odoo with other systems via Open Database Connectivity (ODBC).
