What has been done

After a careful analysis phase, we customized and implemented the Odoo platform to adapt it to Pharmagel's needs. Here are the main interventions carried out:

  • Repair Management: Link between the Warehouse app and the Repairs app for creating detailed repair orders, with details of parts to be repaired, later reported on the invoice via the Accounting app.

  • Customized Accounting App: PEC server configuration for managing the sending and receiving of electronic invoices via SDI, ensuring effective communication with tax authorities. .

  • Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) module: Customization has been made for version management of BOMs, created through the Production app, allowing precise control of changes and updates in production cycles.

  • CRM Module Integration: Linking with the "Contact Us" form on the website to improve the management of inbound leads and inquiries.

  • Custom Sales Order: Edit to classify items according to specific categories required by the customer, facilitating reporting and analysis.

  • Sales-Warehouse-DDT-Billing Integration: Automation of the direct billing process from DDTs (transport documents), ensuring a smooth and fast transition between sales, warehouse and accounting.

  • Custom Module for Offers: Creation of custom Word templates for documentation management to share with the client, with the ability to adjust margins specifically.

  • Web Site Implementation: Makeover of Pharmagel's Web site using the Odoo platform.

  • Upgrade to Odoo 16: Complete migration from Odoo 14 to Odoo 16, ensuring a seamless transition and access to the latest features.
