🧾 Analytical Summary
Lucien (23 bike stores) moved from fragmented tools to one Odoo stack across Sales, POS, Purchases, Inventory, Repairs, Planning, and Accounting—rolling out in waves, training hard, freezing devs for stability, and measuring adoption. Result: best sales year during the big switch.
🔁 Rollout & lessons
- Go live fast in a pilot store, learn, then scale (11 stores in one wave).
- Invest in training (videos, in‑store support, hotline) and enforce processes.
- Freeze development for stability around major rollouts.
🧩 Key flows
- POS presets, bookings, and B2B account invoicing.
- Central purchasing; store requests; warehouse allocations; barcode receipts.
- Repairs/after‑sales rebuilt for planning mechanics and parts usage.
🧮 Data discipline
- Product/master data quality is existential (duplicates break allocations, purchases, and POS).
- Simple wins matter (naming conventions, emojis/filters to flag priorities).
🧠 Viewpoint: Odoo Perspective
Multi‑store retail needs one source of truth and disciplined processes. Train teams, keep data clean, and ship improvements in controlled bursts.
🏢 Viewpoint: Competitors
The case shows ERP‑wide leverage. Buyers will compare advanced retail features (promotions, clienteling, omnichannel OMS) with specialized suites.
