Smart Project: Australian Bookstore Chain ERP Implementation with Odoo
Australian Bookstore Chain ERP Implementation with Odoo
Configure and demonstrate Odoo as an integrated business management solution for a multi-store bookstore operation. Map business processes, set up core modules, and present a working proof of concept to stakeholders.
Why This Project Exists
A growing Australian bookstore chain is struggling with disconnected systems across their retail operations.
Disconnected Systems
Currently using separate tools for sales, inventory, accounting, and customer management. No single source of truth for business data.
Manual Inventory Tracking
ISBN scanning exists but stock levels are tracked in spreadsheets. Reorder points are guesswork, leading to stockouts and overstock.
Scaling Challenges
With plans to open new locations, the current manual processes won't scale. They need integrated operations before expansion.
Where This Project Comes From
Industry-Sourced Requirements
This Smart Project is sourced from real consulting engagements conducted by High Tech Masterminds, an Odoo implementation partner. The requirements reflect actual challenges faced by Australian retail bookstore chains evaluating Odoo for their operations.
The client requires a working proof of concept demonstrating how Odoo can unify their CRM, Sales, Purchasing, Inventory, and Accounting workflows—all integrated and ready for stakeholder presentation.
