Operational excellence is not reserved for large groups: it is a strategic lever to remain competitive in a market marked by accelerated digitalization, pressure on costs and increasing customer demands.
However, many SMEs struggle to move from theory to action. They have tools, but without an integrated approach, the gains remain limited.
This is where Odoo changes the game. More than an ERP, Odoo is a complete platform to manage your processes, automate your tasks and transform your data into performance levers.
Why operational excellence now?
Operational excellence rests on three pillars:
- Agility: adapting quickly to market changes and customer expectations.
- Digitalization: automating, making operations more reliable and accelerating them.
- Data-driven management: leveraging reliable information for informed decisions.
Current challenges:
- Pressure on margins and international competition.
- Increased customer demand for quality and speed.
- Digital transformation that requires flexible and interconnected systems.
What we observe in our prospects:
- Fragmented processes.
- Productivity losses.
- Decisions based on incomplete data.

The 7 strategic levers with Odoo
1. Process mapping and optimization
Before improving, you need to understand. Odoo allows you to model your workflows, identify bottlenecks and eliminate waste.
Example: A SME has mapped its flows and automated the flow of information between field teams and the back office -> smoother information transfer between departments, therefore saving time and more serene teams.
2. Intelligent Automation
Repetitive tasks hinder performance. Odoo offers advanced automation (triggers, scheduled actions).
Example: Automation of customer follow-ups and invoices → time freed up for high value-added activities.
3. Data-driven management
With Odoo, you have access to real-time dashboards and customized KPIs.
Example: Real-time cost tracking per project → rapid resource adjustment and improved profitability.
4. Team collaboration and commitment
Performance is a collective endeavor. Odoo integrates Discuss, eLearning, and Documents to streamline communication. Successful companies are those that foster a collaborative and empowering culture.
Example: Setting up a collaborative space → reduction of silos and better coordination.
5. Culture of continuous improvement
Odoo facilitates feedback loops and quality controls.
Example: Lean + Odoo integration → continuous improvement and reduction of non-conformities.
6. Integration of digital tools
CRM, ERP, e-commerce, accounting… Odoo centralizes everything in a single platform.
Example: A company digitized its sales, purchases and accounting → elimination of duplicates and data reliability.
7. Agile Measurement and Adjustment
Operational excellence is a living process. Odoo allows you to measure your gains and continuously adjust your actions. Leaders don't just implement; they manage and adjust in real time.
How to take action quickly?

4 pitfalls to avoid!
- Lack of team buy-in → involve them from the start.
- Lack of clear KPIs → no measurement, no improvement.
