Dextera is a company with over 28 years of experience, renowned for its high-quality sun control solutions that not only protect against sunlight but also create aesthetically pleasing home and office interiors. Since its inception in 1996, Dextera has continuously sought ways to improve its operations, aiming for maximum efficiency and customer satisfaction. The latest result of these efforts is the successful integration of the Odoo v17 business management system, which has transformed Dextera's daily operations and helped the company reach new heights of efficiency.
From Chaotic Information Management to Comprehensive Control
Before implementing Odoo, Dextera faced common business management challenges. The company relied on emails, phone calls, and hundreds of different Excel files to track orders, production, sales, and inventory. In this tangle of information, important data was often lost, and finding and duplicating information could take hours. Managers lacked a clear and comprehensive view of the business, which made decision-making a laborious process.
However, the situation dramatically changed when Dextera chose Odoo v17 as its main business management platform. With the system in place, company managers finally gained the ability to view real-time, accurate data on sales, production volumes, and inventory in one centralized location. This transparent and comprehensive information allowed for quicker and more informed decision-making, significantly increasing the company's efficiency and profitability.
Custom Projects: Effective Collaboration and Optimal Results
One of Dextera's key strengths is its ability to work flexibly with custom projects that require special attention and precise coordination between different departments. By using Odoo, Dextera was able to automate and streamline the management of custom projects. Now, the project department can easily communicate and coordinate details with the purchasing and sales departments, ensuring that each project is executed optimally in terms of both cost and production speed. This not only improved customer service quality but also enhanced overall business efficiency.
Changes at the Employee Level: A New Work Dynamic
As with any innovation, the implementation of Odoo initially caused some concern among Dextera employees. Changing long-standing work processes raised questions about whether the system would truly simplify their daily tasks. However, it quickly became evident that the new system not only simplified work but also created an entirely new, smoother work dynamic. Now, when an employee goes on vacation, their tasks are easily accessible and can be seamlessly taken over by colleagues – all tasks are clearly visible and controlled through the Odoo system.
This has also helped to establish clearer responsibility and task distribution. Each employee knows their role, and all tasks are recorded in the system, making it easy to monitor progress and ensure that every step of the customer service process is completed smoothly and on time.
Commitment to Sustainability: Reducing Environmental Impact
Dextera has always valued environmental protection, and its solutions are focused not only on efficiency but also on sustainability. A key aspect of this commitment is energy conservation, using solar power in the production process. With the integration of the Odoo system, Dextera took another step forward: significantly reducing the amount of printed information, thereby further contributing to sustainability. Additionally, by offering customers solutions that help reduce their home cooling costs, Dextera not only improves their quality of life but also helps minimize their environmental impact.
Future Plans: A Continuous Journey of Improvement
Dextera is not resting on its laurels and plans to continue enhancing its Odoo system by implementing new modules that will further streamline business processes. Future plans include expanding automation capabilities to achieve even greater efficiency and flexibility, which will enable Dextera to maintain its market leadership and continue growing its business.
Conclusion
The integration of Odoo v17 at Dextera has been more than just a technological change; it has been a cultural shift that opened new possibilities for efficiency, control, and sustainability. The company not only addressed its previous challenges but also built a strong foundation for future growth. Dextera is a prime example of how smart business management can transform a company, contributing to its success in both business and environmental stewardship.
