Breatec B.V.

“We have been working for years to get this off the ground, so now that it has succeeded, it is not only a huge relief for us but for the entire Brain Group.”

Absurd impact

“What we have now achieved with Odoo Experts is everything in one system, one inventory management, and one place to reserve. If the inventory is correct, it doesn’t matter how many components the bread improver consists of; we can create the recipe in fifteen seconds to a minute. The IT solution from Odoo Experts delivers an absurd impact for us. We have been working for years to get this off the ground, so now that it has succeeded, it is not only a huge relief for us but for the entire Brain Group, the German biotech company we have belonged to since last year. There is a lot of time involved in making recipes. It’s amazing that this could be built into the Odoo ERP package. It might not sound so complicated, but it is unique that this can be done in a software package. A system that continuously, in real-time, keeps track of inventory in a process where reservations in the inventory are constantly fluctuating.” “We knew it would be difficult,” says Erwin van der Ploeg, Senior Consultant at Odoo Experts. “We succeeded through close collaboration with Breatec. They immediately realized that you cannot expect to understand everything from day one. You have to give trust and tackle it step by step together.” 

Getting even more out of Odoo

“I always use the example of the bike repairman,” says Frank de Goeij. “He can handle the standard Odoo package very well. He takes two wheels, a saddle, and a frame, and then he makes and sells a bike. In the food industry, we have different requirements. We have various checks that we need to perform in many areas. So, the recipe calculation part is fantastic, but we notice that we still miss some things in Odoo if we want to incorporate all our administration into it, such as access rights and certificates for our customers. These are the next steps we are now taking to get even more out of Odoo.” “Odoo is not a niche package,” explains Erwin van der Ploeg. “At Odoo, 400 programmers are working on developing functionalities. By choosing Odoo, you select an ERP package that continues to develop strongly, and you have to create the niche yourself. But then you have it exactly the way you want it.” “Have we found our IT partner for life with Odoo Experts? Frank de Goeij repeats the last question. “It certainly feels that way. Odoo is an ideal package to start with. It works very intuitively. Look at how it looks. It gives me energy without any enzyme needing to be involved.”
