A Transformative Encounter with Odoo

In its constant pursuit of efficiency and modernization, Medicost embarked on the exploration of ERP systems. Venturing into ERP integration for the first time, the Medicost team recognized the need to transition their operations from spreadsheets to a more advanced platform for real-time information visualization. The recommendation from a business partner introduced them to Odoo as the ideal solution.


Strategic Decision and Implementation Process

Impressed by positive references, in addition to being instantly enticed by the promise of real-time information and Odoo's versatility of its modules, Medicost made the strategic decision to adopt Odoo. 

Marco Antonio Sánchez Ocampo, a Medicost representative, highlights the team's interest in the wide range of available modules and the system's ability to provide instant information across different devices.

Despite the inherent complexity in their business, Medicost is currently immersed in the implementation process of Odoo. Marco Antonio shares, 'Our business presents challenges in reviewing information, but the implementation process has been successful, thanks to the invaluable assistance of consultants.

Operational Transformation with Odoo

"Odoo has certainly streamlined our processes through immediate access to information and reporting capabilities," Sánchez Ocampo emphasized. Prior to Odoo, the concern over duplicate payments, due to human errors, was a sensitive issue. The implementation of Odoo has alleviated that uncertainty by providing accessible information on debts and credits.

When it comes to the collaboration with Odoo, Medicost is most impressed by the platform's adaptability. 

In the words of Marco Antonio: "At Medicost, what we appreciate the most about working with Odoo is its ease of making changes and its flexibility to adapt."


The Future: Invoicing Module and Beyond

Medicost eagerly anticipates the implementation of the invoicing module in the coming months. This development will be crucial for their business, which is primarily focused on the re-invoicing of medical expenses, enabling them to generate invoices efficiently (and accurately) with a single command.

In one word, the Medicost team describes their experience with Odoo as 'easy'.
