INTRODUCTION
In only a few years, Odoo broke the market by offering powerful business management applications
at a competitive price.
Odoo made its place amongst the largest industries and leaders like Toyota, Securitas, La Poste,
Médecins sans Frontières, McKinsey, Danone and many others.
In this book, you’ll discover a sample of Odoo’s customers from different industries and sizes.
From small to large, these customers references perfectly illustrate the flexibility, ease of use and
uniqueness of Odoo.
WHY ODOO?
With strong technical foundations, Odoo’s framework is ‘one of a kind’. It provides top-notch
usability that scales across all apps. This means that any usability improvements made on Odoo
will automatically apply to all of our fully integrated apps.
Therefore, Odoo evolves much faster than any other solution.
Here at Odoo, we believe in two things:
• Business management applications should be affordable.

• A large business scope shouldn’t come at the price of the user experience.
Odoo is the only business management solution that can grow with you from 1 employee to
100.000 and more. The purpose of this booklet is for you to see this for yourself. Happy reading!

HELPING PEOPLE
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), also known as Doctors Without Borders (DWB),
is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organization that
delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural
disasters, and exclusion from healthcare. DWB offers assistance to individuals
based on need, regardless of race, religion, gender or political affiliation.

NEEDS AND TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

In contrast to a conventional business, there are technical and non-functional
characteristics of these activities on the ground:
• Limited in terms of material, especially internet connections and technical
resources.
• High turnover of human resources, as missions based on 2 to 12 months.
• Lack of IT Field Manager.
Based on the elements above, DWB defined a set of criterias which Odoo had to be
able to fulfill:
• Be easy to deploy, maintain, and support (maintained by personnel who do
not have IT skills).
• Be able to use profiles pre-configured applications
• Be agile (flexible, modular, manageable)
• Does not present a risk of operational bottlenecks
Before even considering functional needs, the initial decision-making process was
based on these technical requirements.
Synchronization Module in Odoo

At Odoo’s request, DWB considered the ‘synchronization’ solution in order to bring
structure and accurately respond efficiently to its own needs. This module provides
the ability to work independently (offline mode) for members present on field.
(continued on next page)
7
This need comes from the fact that numerous countries involved in DWB missions
often have internet blackouts.
The synchronisation module simplifies offline work at each of these field sites.
The data is transferred to superior entities as soon as a connection is established,
taking complete charge of storage, transfers, backups, archiving and authentication
constraints.
OTHER CONSTRAINTS ADDRESSED

• Be multilingual, although English is generally applicable.
• To bear the burden of future new users according to DWB growth.
• Be able to carry a load of volume data increasingly important.
• Extension of the functional coverage (This is one of the strengths of our
native Odoo solution).
• Possibility of integration with other communication systems using a
standard exchange
USERS
Odoo is a solution with great strength and stability, it can bear the load of over 4000
users of the system at any given point.
BUDGET
Over a million euros.
BENEFITS
An open source software, reduced costs and prepared DWB for future success. By
choosing an open source product, DWB now enjoys technical superiority built on a
strong community of thousands of developers. Odoo provides DWB the ability to
extensively customize their system, unlike proprietary software.

Danone is a multinational corporation that produces dairy products, bottled

water, baby foods, and medical nutrition. After being founded in 1919 in
Barcelona Spain, Danone is now headquartered in Paris, France. Danone’s
presence extends beyond most borders. The corporation has offices and
subsidiaries across the globe.

With the rise of acquisitions and joint ventures
in emerging markets Danone needed a
software.
Customer since management software to deploy for its newly
Jan 2012 acquired companies. Some of the necessary requirements were:
• Agility and flexibility to support more than one industry at different production
stages.
• Comprehensive end-to-end business solution.
• Easily deployable system internationally, and user-friendly.
APPLICATIONS • Cost-effective, yet scalable to allow for growth and expansion.
Purchase
The management software Danone used at the time (SAP), was too impractical to
deploy for subsidiaries due to high implementation & maintenance costs, and steep
Accounting
learning curves.
Inventory
SAP is not necessarily the answer for structures which need quick implementation,
Sales flexibility, and easy tools to the users. SAP covers a large array of needs. However, it’s
an integrated non-modular software, leaving very little room for mistakes.
Manufacturing
Odoo was proposed as a solution to Danone as it provides the required flexibility,
cost efficiency, fast deployment, and is backed by a solid software editor and a strong
community.
20
SOLUTION
The industry giant decided to use an open source integrated ERP solution for the
emerging countries in which it operates. Odoo provided Danone with a fully integrated
management solution that met all of their requirements.

Project Model
The project model followed a standard 3 month schedule managed by Danone
Information System’s (Dan’IS) project leader in France and Dan’IS worldwide program
coordination:
• Predefined roles/responsibilities for Dan’IS central team, Dan’IS project office,
Danone local entity management, Danone local IT team, Odoo headquarters, and
local Odoo partner.
• Predefined tasks and workload: fine tuned case by case.
• Predefined communication schedule and reporting.
Running Model
Standard ongoing mode where Dan’IS leader constitutes as the single point of contact
(SPOC) to the Odoo headquarters and Odoo regional/local partners
• First line of support: conducted internally within Dan’IS
• Second level support: through an Odoo partner for localization related matters
• Third level support: by Odoo HQ
21
IMPLEMENTATION
The Columbia branch was the first to be implemented introducing the Agile
methodology, where development and implementation are done simultaneously.
This methodology, based on the corrections made immediately in the software, was
completed based on a weekly delivery system. A virtual Kanban view to control project
scheduling completion was implemented. Alongside this, the usage of a ‘wiki’ where
members of each team (users and developers) could find all the related information
for the ongoing projects was provided.
Kanban view of project schedule
RESULT
The Columbian brand experience was quick and successful in a relatively simple
scope. The entire implementation was rolled-out in 3 months. This success led to a
larger implementation in Australia that included manufacturing. Danone is now giving
feedback analysis on the different implementations. They point out the flexibility of
using Agile methodology, specifically its very positive influence on user acceptance.
Danone receives immediate feedback regarding their requests as they get trained
during the implementation process.
BENEFITS
The use of an open source software reduced costs and prepared Danone for future
success. By choosing Odoo, Danone now enjoys technical superiority built on a strong
community of thousands of developers. Odoo provides Danone with the ability to
extensively customize unlike any other proprietary software.

Objectives
Sales Defined objectives from this strategy include:
• Rapid implementation of an Odoo pilot project
Manufacturing • As little new development as possible in the initial phase
• Accurate data migration
CRM • Technology transfer and support for Logic Supply staff
Marketing Auto. Execution

Logic Supply’s CFO, Sean Larkin, decided to become an expert on Odoo accounting, so
he could design the accounting procedures that best met the company’s needs and
become the primary trainer of his staff. He determined what changes were necessary
and supervised the data mapping between systems.
Staff developers from both Logic Supply and Odoo worked with Larkin to develop a
“Data Dictionary”. They implemented it through an import script that took advantage
of Odoo’s business logic in order to test for inconsistencies and errors. Doing this
caught errors with MS Accounting and ensured that only correct data was loaded into
the new Odoo powered database.
The accounting staff performed every action from the out-dated software and did
the same actions with their new Odoo database, stopping frequently to compare trial
balances and aging. Though tedious, doing this was another step taken to prevent any
discrepancies between the two systems.
The Odoo and Logic Supply teams worked full time to achieve an accounting application
with balanced accounts, matched aging and without errors.
ACHIEVEMENTS
• Complete third-party integration with an external e-commerce platform.
• Product configurator capability for special manufacturing cases.
• Support of all centralized accounting practices for an advanced US manufacturer
operating at an international level.
• A two month long parallel run in parallel with MS Accounting, achieving accuracy
to the penny.
RESULTS
Larkin’s comments speak volumes about the success of this approach:
“By end of day today we have been able to replicate MS Accounting in Odoo. All balances
reconcile to the penny. Thank you everyone for all your extra work and willingness to
make it right/correct. December will still be a big push due to the double amount of
work to be done in both systems but the fact that we are starting off on the right foot
means we can work on efficiency building tasks besides completeness and accuracy. I
appreciate and notice everyone’s hard work!”. This success was built on days of work,
until the Logic Supply staff was able to run entirely on Odoo and move away from
their previous system.
