Challenges with Odoo v12 community
Power Q was using Odoo
v12 community with the above-listed modules. With limited
functionality available in the v12 community, the system was customized
as per their business processes. However, over customization created
multiple traceback errors and it made the system operations were very slow.
The time and need of the hour hinted at system optimization. That's when Power Q
approached Odoo's sincere partner Synconics technologies for optimizing the setting of
different modules, optimizing process flow, updating custom modules,
etc.
Suggestions & Solution
Synconics technologies are really good in what they do and they always suggest their clients with honest, transparent, opinions
favorable to clients' commercials and business approaches. On analyzing
the system, Synconics observed the issues were due to over customization, so
instead of optimizing the system, they suggested migrating the
system to Odoo v14 enterprise. As if v12 code was to be optimized, it
would have taken a long time to analyze, check, rectify and test,
with similar time the modules could be migrated to v14. With the
migration, Synconics suggested modules optimization and resolving the traceback errors and the bugs observed by the client during system
operations in v12.
PowerQ agreed to migrate on v14,
but they were more inclined towards community as they were using v12
community edition. Synconics not only suggested enterprise edition
but also Odoo.sh, the benefits were explained based on practical
parameters listed below:
1) As
the number of users was only 16, they were suggested with Odoo.sh. So that management of server administrators can be avoided. Also, it is more
secure without worrying about SSH certificate purchase. The auto-update of code with new features is done by Odoo. Thus the client
always has an updated robust system.
2) As PowerQ had
many customized modules, Synconics mapped the functionality of the
customized modules with the standard v14 enterprise functionality,
like accounting reports, barcode, mobile app, responsive, etc. v14
enterprise had all the features, except for some tailor-made
customized modules. Many customized applications were removed while
migrating to v14 and the system load was reduced.
3) For
customized tailor-made applications, the code was optimized, the
errors, bugs, tracebacks errors were also fixed and the code was
lightweight compared to their legacy modules.
4)
Comparatively the v14 enterprise is much faster than v12, as the core
programming language is changed to a certain extent.
After Effects
PowerQ now sees fantastic results with the new Odoo.sh v14 Enterprise ERP system
in comparison to the older v12 community version. A lot of new functionalities are achieved, which were not available in their
legacy system.
A new CRM module with advanced features added multiple new business
opportunities. The flowing leads are now streamlined with scheduled sales activities like calls, meetings,
mailing, and quotations. With real-time reports and flow charts, PowerQ is now making accurate and smarter decisions. They can view all the needed information in just a few clicks.
The v14
sales functionality is more similar to v12. However, the
added features of v14, like the online signature, coupons, and promotion
helped the company in sales growth. As PowerQ’s most of the businesses are
project-based, the online signature makes it easier for them to lock the deal without waiting for a physical signature or approval. On sending the sales quotation to their portal
customer, PowerQ can accept and sign with the online signature feature and approve the quotation in a matter of minutes.
The workload of the
purchase, warehouse, and the account manager is reduced with the 3-way
matching of purchases. It matches the purchase order with the ordered
quantity and payment done against the received quantity.
Odoo v14 version provided the
functionalities for project planning and project profitability
analysis. This helped PowerQ in planning the projects in pipeline, in
progress, etc. The project profitability alloweallowed them to scale the
profit/lost scenario with the ongoing project.
(MPS) Master
Production Scheduler and Subcontracting feature, these two features
are the most crucial functionality for project base manufacturing
scenario. With the MPS module, the project planning is streamlined to
achieve the target. Subcontracting features helped in outsourcing the
manufacturing process and handling of the raw material.
Odoo v14 EE added more
features as compared to v12 CE. Advanced features like Full accounting, On-screen
reports, Asset Management, Deferred Revenues Management, Automate
Bill Processing, Budget Management, Print Checks,
Comprehensive Accounting, allowed company to increase productivity and reduce the need of additional customized modules.
