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

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

- 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

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.
