ASM Tech Growth is a company that has been dedicated to sustainable technological innovation for more than 20 years. Its focus is on long-term sustainable results with the least possible impact on the environment.
ASM is driven by creativity, seeking to create different solutions for new challenges. Its services include: development of mobile applications, compatible with both iOS and Android; management of IoT devices, allowing you to view all the information from your connected devices on a dashboard; Cloud DevOps and cybersecurity; and creation of a digital transformation strategy.
To achieve all this, it has a large team of professionals with technical knowledge, innovative capacity, and determination to create sustainable technological growth.
An obsolete system
Even with years of experience and hard work behind them, ASM Tech had obsolete management systems that complicated day-to-day operations. Like so many other companies worldwide, they had several different systems to manage operations, which is a major inconvenience in terms of information synchronization.
In ASM's case, it wasn't just the fact that they had different systems at the same time, but also that they had very manual business processes focused on recording information rather than management, thus creating a major problem in terms of time management.
In addition, the platforms used were limited in terms of scalability. With all this, they had problems with information traceability, along with slow financial and fiscal closing processes subject to manual errors.
Finally, they had communication issues such as sending invoices or managing customer debts via email outside the management platform, which was very inefficient and led to potential knowledge loss.
After ruling out other options, they decided to switch to Odoo as their sole management platform, through which they could centralize information and save time and costs, as well as streamline the daily operations of their employees.
A 360-degree improvement
AMS Tech Growth highlights that the implementation of Odoo was quite smooth. Working in their favor was the fact that, as a software development company, they already had extensive knowledge of management systems. With employees who have in-depth technical profiles, the barrier to starting with a new system was not a problem, as can be the case in other companies that are used to working with manual processes and without a management tool.
Thanks to this, they did not encounter any technical problems during implementation. However, a change as big as transferring all the operations of a company with such a long history always has some areas that are more costly. In the case of AMS, its Achilles heel was in the type of communication and change management. Similarly, this did not pose a problem for carrying out the implementation and being able to work centrally with Odoo.
With Odoo fully implemented, all the problems they had before the change have been solved.
“It has simplified and streamlined our processes, unifying and improving the traceability of information.”
In addition, they now have immediate access to information and reports that were unimaginable for AMS on their previous platform, thus expanding control over the company's daily operations. This has not only had a positive effect on the company's scalability, but also on its ability to react to any situation that may arise.
The most notable improvements are the centralization of information in a single location and the fact that all of this information is interconnected. In addition, they have changed the culture of information recording and management. The timelines for financial and sales processes, as well as project management, have been significantly simplified.
AMS emphasizes that they have been able to bring about a global change in the company's culture without losing its integrity.
For all these reasons, they would recommend Odoo, both for its ease of implementation and the potential of all its features.
“Very intuitive for users who are not very tech-savvy, continuous product development with new features, a very good user experience and usability.”
