Challenge

Arestós was facing significant challenges in managing its diverse and growing client portfolio. The process of tracking projects, billing clients, and managing resources was becoming increasingly complex. The existing systems were disjointed and lacked the necessary integration to provide a comprehensive view of operations. As a result, Arestós was experiencing inefficiencies that hindered its ability to deliver optimal customer service and manage its growth effectively.

Strategy

Identifying the need for a robust and integrated solution, Arestós decided to implement an ERP system. After evaluating several solutions, the company chose Odoo ERP for its comprehensive features, flexibility, and scalability.

Arestós collaborated with an Odoo implementation partner to customize and configure the ERP system according to its unique needs. The implementation process was designed to minimize disruption to ongoing operations and ensure a smooth transition. A phased approach was adopted, starting with core modules such as project management and accounting before expanding to other areas.

Version Control and Documentation

Within the module, team members could attach files to specific tasks, crucial for managing multiple iterations and versions in web development projects. This feature also improved collaboration, as team members could access the latest project files at any time.

Client Relationship Management

Odoo’s CRM module integrated seamlessly with project management. This allowed Arestós to maintain a record of all client interactions, feedback, and change requests linked to their respective projects. This feature ensured seamless communication with clients, leading to improved client satisfaction.
