From high software costs to low and more in one.

Every entrepreneur knows it: you work with systems that are "okay," but they don't quite offer everything you need. Meanwhile, the costs are soaring. This was exactly the situation at STB, a growing company that manages both a store and a POS and IoT solution.

From expensive licenses to smart software

Until last year, STB used Logic4 for sales, inventory management, purchasing, and accounting, supplemented with Freshdesk for email and customer service. A great combination... until the bill came: €707 per month, and still important features were missing.

The high costs were reason enough to look for a better solution. During a short test with Odoo, something unexpected happened: almost the entire wish list of STB could suddenly be checked off.

• Cash register, sales, purchasing, inventory, accounting in one✔️
• WhatsApp integration ✔️
• Digitally sign documents ✔️
• Marketing automation ✔️
• Social marketing ✔️

And the operation of Odoo felt immediately smarter and more pleasant.

Cash register and IoT: more convenience in the store

For STB, the cash register module is indispensable, including a payment terminal directly connected via the Odoo IoT app. Thanks to this connection, the PIN receipt is directly linked to the Odoo cash register receipt, preventing errors. Soon, the Windows 10 PC will be replaced with an all-in-one PC with a touchscreen, further enhancing the user experience.

Intensified collaboration between modules

Currently, STB Computer Service is intensively using the following Odoo modules:

• Subscriptions
• Accounting
• Contacts
• Helpdesk
• Purchasing
• Cash register
• Sales
• Inventory

Thanks to Odoo, there is now complete integration between the components, which significantly simplifies daily work.

In the planning: expansion to marketing and CRM

• Agenda & Appointments
• Field service & CRM
• Email marketing, SMS marketing, Marketing automation, Social marketing
• Surveys & Project management
• Website & Whatsapp integration

These modules are new for STB and offer additional functionality that was not available in the old system. Due to time constraints, they have not been used extensively yet, but that will certainly happen.

A smooth transition

The transition went surprisingly smoothly. STB took care of much of the setup themselves because they enjoy it and are technically skilled. A previous partner unfortunately had to stop, but they recommended dooIT as a successor. Since then, we have been their regular backup for moments when things get really complex.

Stephan Bargeman, owner of STB Computer Service:

"I would recommend everyone to switch to Odoo. You just get so much for so little. We're actually still waiting for the catch. ” 😁

Immediate result: huge savings

De cijfers spreken voor zich:

That money can now be invested by STB in growth, innovation, and service. 

Ready for the future

For STB, choosing Odoo was a bullseye: more functionality, lower costs, and a flexible system that grows with them. And with dooIT as a reliable partner, they are never alone.
