Among the many reason's to choose Odoo for your business, maybe the best one is the ability to customize it for your specific needs.
Examples of Our Work:
Apps Customized: Sales
Scenario:
The customer provided SSI with specific calculations required based on the product categories. The process of collecting this information and disbursing payment to sales reps was nearly a full time job.
Customization:
-
SSI created a sales report that instantly provided the accounting staff with the relevant commission data for each sales rep by period.
-
No further excel work or additional hours are required.
Apps Customized: Equipment + Subscriptions
Scenario:
Our customer stores industrial equipment for their customers in multiple warehouses that require monthly maintenance requests and monitoring. Should the customer experience a failure of in-service equipment they will request expedited delivery of their equipment from the storage facility. On a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis each storage customer needs to be invoiced on a square footage basis for the equipment held in storage.
Customization:
-
SSI created a link between the base Odoo equipment module and the subscription module.
-
Within the equipment module users can place equipment in and out of storage and note the rate, square footage, and effective dates for billing purposes.
-
Each month Odoo generates maintenance requests so the staff inspects and verifies the location of the equipment.
-
The subscription module evaluates the in / out dates of the equipment and automates billing details for the customer.

All data is real-time between each system and available from both sides of the transaction.
Apps Customized: Sales, Purchases

The costs need to be meticulously tracked and flow through proper FIFO accounting standards as well as enter a WIP account upon use in the shop.
Customization:

SSI enhanced the default Odoo product configuratior to allow for the creation of one time use products.
