Project Highlights
The decision to transition from Sedona to Odoo ERP was pivotal for the security firm’s business, addressing challenges like a fragmented system, data export constraints, and inadequate flexibility. Brainvire's Odoo specialists collaborated closely with their RMR, Fire Inspection, and Manufacturing sectors. The experts delivered robust financial reporting tools supporting dual currencies and facilitated consolidated statements. Given the use of over 30 distinct software applications, the firm’s goal remains seamless integration with the ERP system for enhanced operational efficiency and cohesion.
