POET, short for People of Extraordinary Talent, is a Malaysian furniture house that celebrates Scandinavian design and craftsmanship. The house invites customers to express their creativity by personalizing each piece of furniture, making it a unique and exclusive addition to their home decor.
Productivity Increases by 300%
"I'd rather have my team focus on creative than administrative tasks. This is where Odoo helps me to elevate them."
Before...
- To enable custom designs, POET worked with multiple vendors for a single piece of furniture, providing a wide selection of furniture legs, upholstery, and foams.
- The team relied on multiple spreadsheets for project management to keep track of sales and create purchase orders. This process could take 4-5 hours.
After...
- Odoo now takes 1 hour to process a sales order (SO), procurement and reach out to vendors to increase productivity by 300%.
- Within the Odoo Purchase app, the system automates BoMs (bills of materials) and RfQs (requests for quotation).
- The team only needs to approve the Bills of Materials (BoMs) and Requests for Quotation (RfQs) with a few clicks, and Odoo will automatically send these to the relevant vendors.
- When goods are received, the inventory team validates the receipt, and Odoo instantly updates the product quantity in the Inventory app.
- From a single purchase order, the team can also easily view the current stock level, compare prices over a fixed period, and access other key data.
Data Centralization & All-in-One Business Solution
Before...
- POET did not have a centralized business management system, relying instead on various spreadsheets, a simple bookkeeping system and other standalone software to manage its diverse operations.
- "There was no problem running the business," claimed Peter, "but I could not scale my business."
After...
- In today's business-scape, not catching up means falling behind.
- Thanks to the interconnected, cloud-based ERP system, Odoo organizes all sales, inventory, administration and human resources operations with over 70+ interconnected tools online.
- This offers the company real-time data transparency across teams. Odoo allows the team access to accurate inventory data organized by product variant and serial numbers, and Peter can easily check the profit margin to effectively monitor business performance.
- This also eliminates the need to use multiple, disconnected platforms, streamlining processes and preventing data silos.
"Wan and the Odoo team are incredible. They helped us to go live within 9 months without stopping our manufacturing process."
"Managing a business requires more than just passion," says Peter. "Data is crucial in every business." Odoo promotes data transparency that encourages managers to make data-informed decisions and a higher level of operational efficiency.
