This involved configuring workflows, designing custom reports, and implementing features tailored to their production processes.

  • Automation of Processes: Broadsy automated key processes within Odoo to reduce manual intervention and streamline operations. This included automating inventory replenishment, production scheduling, purchase order generation, invoicing, and reporting tasks.

  • Integration with Third-party Systems: Broadsy facilitated seamless integration between Odoo and other systems used by them, such as ERP systems of suppliers and distributors. This integration enhanced data exchange, improved collaboration, and enabled real-time visibility across the supply chain.

  • Training and Support: Broadsy provided comprehensive training to their employees to ensure smooth adoption and utilization of the new system. Additionally, they offered ongoing support and maintenance services to address any issues or concerns that arose post-implementation.
