Realco
Optimizing hygiene solutions management with a modern, scalable ERP system
Logistic & Warehouse B2B Production
Realco is a Belgian company based in the Louvain-la-Neuve Science Park, recognized as a global leader in enzyme-based hygiene solutions. With a strong commitment to innovation, Realco serves a diverse clientele, including retailers, local communities, hospitals, and cleaning product distributors.
Challenge
Realco had been using Odoo (formerly OpenERP) for over six years to manage its billing, distribution, and accounting processes. Over time, the system underwent significant custom developments, making it increasingly complex and difficult to maintain. Key challenges included:
4 Key objectives to reach
- An outdated Odoo version that was no longer supported
- A system overloaded with custom developments, reducing operational efficiency
- The need to migrate critical historical data while optimizing processes
- The dilemma between migrating or re-implementing the system from scratch
Solutions
To leverage the latest advancements in Odoo, Eezee-it implemented a fresh installation, restructuring Realco’s workflows for optimal compatibility with the new version. The solution was structured around three core actions:
1Data migration & System reset
- A clean installation of the latest Odoo version to replace the outdated system
- Migration of essential historical data, including customer and supplier invoices, ensuring business continuity
- Data import/export tools to facilitate the transition with minimal disruption
2Process Optimization
- Reevaluation of Realco’s business processes to align with Odoo’s best practices
- Reduction of unnecessary custom developments to enhance system stability and scalability
3Long-Term System Scalability
- Standardized workflows to ensure future compatibility with Odoo updates
- Enhanced data structure for improved reporting and business insights
