Wat is het verschil tussen een use case en een branchepagina?

Een use case beschrijft een situatie die in elke sector kan voorkomen, zoals een webshop die niets weet van de voorraad. Een branchepagina beschrijft hoe wij een hele sector bedienen, zoals logistiek en groothandel of productie. Herkent u het probleem, kies dan de use case; herkent u vooral uw vak, kies dan de branchepagina.

Ik herken meerdere use cases tegelijk. Wat nu?

Dat is normaal, want de situaties hangen bijna altijd samen. Begin bij de situatie die u het meeste tijd of marge kost en laat de rest meelopen in dezelfde inrichting, zodat u niet twee keer bouwt.

Moet ik alles tegelijk in Odoo zetten?

Nee, dat is zelden verstandig. Wij starten met de processen die de meeste pijn veroorzaken en breiden daarna uit, zodat uw team elke stap kan bijhouden.

Wat kost het om een use case op te lossen?

In ons AI-implementatietraject rekenen wij 1.000 euro per app. Welke apps u nodig heeft volgt uit het procesontwerp; de uitleg staat op de pagina over de prijs per app.

Werkt dit ook als wij al met Odoo werken?

Ja. Een deel van onze trajecten begint bij een bestaande Odoo-omgeving die niet af is, verkeerd is ingericht of is blijven steken. Wij kijken eerst wat bruikbaar is voordat wij iets vervangen.

Hoe weet ik welke use case bij mijn organisatie past?

Doe de Business Scan: u beantwoordt vragen over uw processen en krijgt daarna een concreet advies over de volgorde. Komt u er niet uit, dan denken wij in een kennismakingsgesprek gewoon mee.

Use cases

We don't think in modules, but in problems.

Nobody wakes up in the morning wanting to buy an ERP module. They do wake up with stock figures that are wrong, a project running off the rails or books that are weeks behind. So we start with the situation — and only then with Odoo. Below are the six situations we come across most often.

Four consultants discussing an Odoo dashboard on a large screen — Every use case starts with a conversation about your process, not about software.

How to read this page. If one of the six sentences below sounds like something said in your own office, that is your starting point. Every use case explains what is going on under the surface and how we solve it in Odoo. Not sure? Then the Business Scan will point you in the right direction in a couple of minutes.

Does this sound familiar?

Six situations from practice

We used the sentences customers say word for word as the headings. Click through to the situation closest to yours; at the bottom of each page you'll find the first step.

Packing station with boxes and tape in an e-commerce warehouse

E-commerce and trade

“Our webshop and our warehouse know nothing about each other.”

You keep selling while the shelves are empty, and the books run days behind the orders. Webshop, stock and invoicing belong in one platform.

Exactly what I was looking for

Two installers looking at a tablet on a construction site

Project-driven work

“Only at the final costing do we see whether this project cost us money.”

Hours, materials and extra work live in three places. Control per project means you see where the margin goes while the work is still running.

This is my situation

Bright boardroom with a city view for a management meeting

Multi-company

“Every entity keeps its own books and nobody sees the whole picture.”

Intercompany deliveries, different VAT regimes and a consolidation done by hand. Multiple entities work perfectly well in one central system.

AI and automation

“Our team retypes data from email and PDFs every day.”

Purchase orders, packing slips and invoices are copied over by hand. AI and automation take that work out of your day, inside Odoo itself.

Sounds good

Abstract bridge of light between two systems, representing integrations

Integrations and EDI

“Every customer wants their own file format and we do it by hand.”

SAP, Shopify, a WMS and EDI messages all have to talk to each other. That does not happen by itself, but it can be solved.

Exactly what I was looking for

From separate systems to Odoo

“Our single truth lives in four systems and a folder full of spreadsheets.”

It worked fine until you grew. We bring the separate packages and spreadsheets back into one ERP without closing the shop.

This is my situation

Situation or sector?

Use case or sector page — where should you be?

A use case is about a situation: something going wrong in your process, regardless of what you sell. A tool wholesaler and a machine manufacturer can have exactly the same inventory situation.

A sector page is about an industry: the way of working, the regulations and the integrations that are normal in that market. There you read how we serve a whole industry.

In short: if you recognise the problem, choose a use case. If you mainly recognise your trade, choose the sector page. Often you read both — they refer to each other.

Your question	“How do I solve this?”	“Do you understand my market?”

Logistics and wholesale

Purchasing, warehouse, sales and invoicing in one chain. Think batch and serial numbers, cross-docking and customers imposing their own message format.

Manufacturing

Bills of materials, work orders and capacity. If you make to order, you want to know what a batch really cost, not at the end of the quarter.

To manufacturing

Retail and e-commerce

POS, webshop and warehouse on one stock figure. If you sell both in store and online, the truth about stock is the whole story.

To retail and e-commerce

Transport and distribution

Trips, shipments and carriers. The link with carriers and the administration around it decides whether your planning holds up.

From recognition to solution

Four steps, in this order

Recognise

You pick the use case you recognise yourself in most. Often it's two or three; that is normal, because problems are connected.

Scan

Met de Business Scan we map your processes and you see which steps deliver the most. You get concrete advice, not a brochure.

Design

In a working session we record the future process and determine which apps you need. That also determines the prijs.

Build and go live

We configure, integrate and migrate. How that project runs is described under Odoo-implementatie; you can see the result in our cases.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about our use cases

A use case describes a situation that can occur in any sector, such as a webshop that knows nothing about stock. A sector page describes how we serve an entire sector, such as logistics and wholesale or manufacturing. If you recognise the problem, choose the use case; if you mainly recognise your trade, choose the sector page.

That is normal, because these situations are almost always connected. Start with the one costing you the most time or margin and let the rest run along in the same configuration, so you don't build twice.

No, that is rarely sensible. We start with the processes causing the most pain and expand from there, so your team can keep up with every step.

In our AI implementation track we charge €1,000 per app. Which apps you need follows from the process design; the explanation is on the €1,000 per app page.

Yes. A number of our projects start from an existing Odoo environment that is unfinished, wrongly configured or stalled. We first look at what is usable before we replace anything.

Take the Business Scan: you answer questions about your processes and then receive concrete advice on the order to tackle them. If you're still unsure, we'll think along with you in an introductory call.
