The Challenge 

Openware was using multiple software systems for various business activities, such as Accounting and Payroll, Projects and Timesheet, Sales and Purchase etc. What they were really looking for was a single integrated system that could meet all their needs and requirements. With this type of system they would be able to minimize the cost of their system and improve the internal coordination between teams.

Key Implementation

After understanding Openware’s business requirements, Bista Solutions suggested Open ERP (Odoo) as a platform that could cover all their business needs with one solution. Bista Solutions implemented the following applications for Openware: Sales, Purchase, Accounting, Human Resources, CRM, Inventory and Projects.

Customized Implementation

Some of the business needs were unique, and there was no standard module available in Odoo (Open Source ERP). Therefore Bista’s professional team customized and redesign part of the solution, according to Openware’s business needs.

Some of the Customized Implementations included;

  • A specific approval cycle for the confirmation of Sales & Purchase orders.

  • Migrated all the data from legacy system to Modern ERP using Talend ETL Tool.

  • Integrated Honeywell attendance system with ERP using Talend ETL Tool.

  • Customized Project Management Module including timesheets.

  • Customization of the Access Rights was an important part of this project. Bista developed a security restriction feature which allowed Openware executives to gain access as required.

  • New Module “Helpdesk” was developed.

  • Developed analytical accounting feature wherein the expenditure cost was automatically divided between the departments. 

  • Last but not the least, HR: Large customization was done in the leave approval management.
