Axscend Limited
Challenges Faced
Despite its robust technology offering, Axscend faced several operational challenges:
Underutilisation and high cost of their existing ERP system (NetSuite).
Manual financial workflows, including bank transaction uploads.
Lack of integration between their internal cloud platform and financial systems.
Disjointed project and order management practices.
Limited cross-departmental visibility into order fulfilment and scheduling.
Odoo Implementation
To modernise operations and reduce reliance on manual processes, Axscend initiated a transition from NetSuite to Odoo, focusing first on finance and CRM. The project aimed to:
Migrate financial data before the next ERP renewal in September.
Centralise quoting, inventory, project scheduling, and CRM within Odoo.
Replace disjointed tools like Outlook and informal trackers with structured workflows.
Key Enhancements
The Odoo implementation was designed to:
Streamline finance and accounting with automated reconciliation.
Improve CRM performance and sales forecasting accuracy.
Provide real-time insights into inventory and order status.
Lay the groundwork for future integrations with Axscend’s own fleet management platform.
Support potential upgrades in order fulfilment hardware (e.g., barcode scanners).
