Nathanael Leutenegger, unser Head of Project Leaders, präsentiert im Video, wie Odoo mit integrierten Tools wie Helpdesk, Live-Chat und Wissensdatenbank den Kundenservice optimiert. Schnelle Anfragenbearbeitung, zentrale Wissensvermittlung und effiziente Workflows entlasten Service-Teams und ermöglichen exzellenten Support.

Unser Entwickler Alberto Nieto de Pablos erklärt, wie die Amazon Vendor-Anbindung mit GS1 XML statt EDIFACT entwickelt wurde.  Odoo ist die Unternehmenssoftware mit den meisten Anwendungen von Drittanbietern in seinem umfangreichen und wachsenden Ökosystem. Eine App aus dieser riesigen Sammlung, die wir in der Vergangenheit verwendet haben, war ein Konnektor, der eine Schnittstelle zu Amazons Verkäuferseite des Geschäfts ermöglichte.

Michael Ptas, unser Projektleiter, präsentiert in diesem Talk die Implementierung eines Selbstbedienungsladens in Odoo v16 für ein Marktplatzunternehmen, das nicht der Eigentümer der verkauften Waren ist. Zur Bewältigung der Herausforderungen in Buchhaltung und Lagerverwaltung wird die BT-Arba (automatisierte, regelbasierte Buchhaltung) eingesetzt. Ausserdem werden Verbesserungen des POS-Systems, wie visuelle und funktionale Erweiterungen sowie halbautomatisierte Buchhaltungsfunktionen, besprochen.

Helmut Stritzinger, Projektleiter und Consultant bei braintec, stellt Strategien für die Lagerbewirtschaftung und Digitalisierung in Odoo vor. Er beleuchtet das Wellen- und Chargenpicking inkl. Cluster, von der Anpassung von Routen und Regeln an spezifische Anforderungen, über die effiziente Lagerstruktur bis hin zur Reduzierung von Zeiten und Fehlerquoten im Kommissionierungsprozess.

Unser Projektleiter und Consultant, Patrick Mayer, gibt Einblicke in die Nutzung von Odoo für Outlets mit individuellen Produkten. Im Fokus steht die Implementierung von Odoo für ein Möbel-Outlet, das Produkte zweiter Wahl verkauft. Die Lösung von braintec beinhaltete die nahtlose Integration von Preislisten, Seriennummern, Inventar und POS. Weiter geht es um die Herausforderung wie Produktmängel präsentiert und individuelle Preise auf Basis des Zustands festgelegt werden.

Unser Projektleiter und Consultant, Lukas Minder, zeigt wie die Kindschi Söhne AG all ihre Geschäftsprozesse nahtlos in die Odoo Business Software integriert hat. Bei der Implementierung lag der Fokus auf der Einhaltung von gesetzlichen Vorgaben für die Deklaration von alkoholischen Produkten sowie der adäquaten Berichterstattung in Produktion und Handel.

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).

Odoo provides you with the tools to maximize the knowledge of your employees. This talk focuses on the apps that allow you to empower your employees with advanced knowledge management.
Are you a project manager, product owner, or functional consultant? Then this talk is for you. You will learn how good knowledge management will allow you to do better Odoo projects.

Highlights:

Knowledge (new)
eLearning
Documents
Skills Management
In addition to those apps, this talk will highlight the features that allow you to embed knowledge in key processes. Examples:

Quality checks with detailed instructions.
Manufacturing orders with worksheets.
For Odoo projects, it is essential to have a strategy for knowledge building and training. For this reason, we will also address the following questions:

Who should you train?
When should you train?
How should you train?
Drawing from his experience at braintec, the biggest Odoo partner in Europe, Nicolas Frei will share insights gained in Odoo projects since 2014.

Target audience:
Project managers, product owners, and functional consultants

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

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.

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.

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.

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).

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).
