The IT specialists have been working with the likes of Inspired Energy plc, The Wild Beer Co and a range of UK manufacturers to implement end-to-end management systems using intelligent, integrated applications.

It now has over two million users worldwide including household international names like Toyota, Sodexo and WWF. With Smart IT now a leading Odoo partner in the UK, the London event on Thursday 9 February 2017 marks the launch of its latest applications. “Smart IT has been doing some fantastic work with Odoo, helping clients in the manufacturing and energy industries to streamline processes and become more productive and profitable,” explains Pavitra Singh, head of channel and enterprise sales for Odoo SA in Brussels. “So it makes sense to ask them to showcase the benefits of our applications to our London audience and explain how it could benefit them with illustrative examples. “Our latest software release is the most influential to date, especially for manufacturing firms and growing SMEs. Our new Odoo 10 apps are already appealing to manufacturing professionals who are looking for more efficient solutions to antiquated software still found on the market.” Odoo 10 features an array of integrated software applications which allow every facet of a manufacturing operation to work together seamlessly, including production planning, quality management, shop floor control, maintenance, traceability, and product lifecycle management. Jacqueline Bullen from Smart IT adds: “As Odoo software specialists, our aim is to use it to give our clients greater control over their entire operations, from placing orders and stock management through to despatch and delivery. “For more and more businesses, Odoo’s integrated ERP software technology is now an essential tool for success and growth. It’s a highly affordable business productivity solution for growing SMEs.
