Companies that use Odoo: Danone

Danone has found a solution to SAP's limitations in Odoo.

Indeed, Danone is a user of multiple SAP solutions, but a few years ago decided to start using Odoo as a solution for its small operational units.

Colombia was chosen to host Danone’s first Odoo implementation. The implementation was carried out in an agile manner, without following the traditional parameters typically required by a conventional ERP system, such as analysis, development, and implementation. The success of the process demonstrated that rapid deployment is possible, even for an ERP system.

The training and process documentation were carried out in Argentina, which also adopted the OpenERP application that was being customized.
