Challenge

As a multinational joint venture with locations in Europe and China, Encory searched for different software solutions that suit the requirements of both markets. Their branch in China had different requirements than their European branch, as the Chinese market environment is characterized as being highly dynamic and fast-growing. Therefore, Encory was in need of a highly flexible solution that would suit the business requirements of their Chinese location.

For their European branch, Encory for tailor-made software on the basis of Odoo's comprehensive platform.

Solution

The module that was used as a basis for the development was Odoo Inventory, which is used for managing and processing incoming parts. With Odoo and with our support, we could fulfill all of Encory's special requirements, like Barcode scanning with mobile devices, the automization of processes, detailed reports, and an interface to BI software and to their own monitoring software.

Business Benefits

The biggest advantage of this project was that Odoo was adapted in the front-end user interface exactly as required, and in the background, we used Odoo standard for all automation and processes. No major programming was necessary and, in the end, the project budget was not even consumed entirely, so Encory decided to upgrade the whole system to go live on the newest version. Because of the customized front end, we have been able to map Encory's processes 100% as specified.

"OBS delivered as promised. Compared to other projects, we had an absolutely smooth implementation of Odoo thanks to the expertise, know-how, flexibility and accessibility of OBS. The system runs like clockwork." — Christian Uhlmann, Project Lead at Encory

The attribute Encory values most in using Odoo as a tailor-made software are its many automations and easy reporting functions that result in a very low error rate and prevent errors in their warehouse. Also, Odoo's intuitive ease of use and its very fast and stable system make it the perfect addition to their other software systems - especially due to the seamless integration with the other systems. Furthermore, Odoo is much more cost-efficient due to its flexibility and customizability.
