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.

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.

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:

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

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.

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.

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.
