Machine integration

Connect machines directly to Odoo

We connect machines, scales, printers, RFID, scanners and sensors to your processes — even when equipment is old or lacks a modern protocol.

Odoo implementation

Odoo that fits your business

From process analysis and configuration to migration, training, support and continued development. With the same partner for office software and the shop floor.

Connect the shop floor to the rest of your business

Your operation is already running. Your software must be able to keep up.

The most important information is often created outside the ERP system: at a machine, till, scanner, kitchen, scale or warehouse location.

Linky Business connects those events to Odoo, so operations, planning and administration work with the same up-to-date information — without entering the same data again later.

01

Less duplicate work

Data is recorded where it is created, rather than reconstructed afterwards.

02

Earlier insight

Deviations become visible while there is still time to act.

03

One view of the process

The shop floor, planning, inventory and finance all see the same context.

From Exact Online to a connected Odoo manufacturing environment

More than seven years of historical business data were migrated to Odoo. Manufacturing, inventory, accounting, sales, purchasing and shop-floor hardware now come together in one integrated environment.

Why Linky Business

Why we go beyond a software partner

  • No fixed list of supported devices. We also assess older machines, scales and printers based on the signals and interfaces already available.
  • A clear subscription model. The Linky gateway and any additional nodes are supplied as part of the subscription. Custom work can be a one-off investment, while the recurring fee follows the agreed subscription structure rather than the technical complexity of the project.
  • One central environment instead of separate portals. Relevant events from machines, alarms, scales, printers and access registration come together in the system where the process is managed.

We make clear what the solution delivers for your process. The technical decision rules needed to interpret machine signals reliably are defined during the technical survey and remain tailored to the specific machine and situation.

One connected process

From a shop-floor signal to a targeted action

A measurement or event only becomes valuable when the right context, recording and follow-up come together.

  1. 01
    Observe

    The physical event

    A machine, scanner, scale or sensor provides a reliable event or measurement.

  2. 02
    Interpret

    Add context

    The signal is linked to the correct order, batch, location, machine or employee.

  3. 03
    Record

    Odoo takes part

    Odoo records the information directly in the process, without duplicate entry or reconstruction afterwards.

  4. 04
    Act

    From data to action

    Planning, quality, maintenance, warehousing and finance can respond earlier and more precisely.

Tailored technology, clear result

We define the signal selection, decision logic and validation during the technical survey. You know in advance what the connection should achieve for the process, while the technical method remains tailored to the machine and situation.

A manageable first step

Start with one handover that is currently unreliable

You do not need to replace your entire ERP system, machine park or warehouse at once. A good first step is one process where information changes hands every day: recording a weight, reporting an order, printing a label or recognising a brief machine stop.

By defining that step clearly, it becomes apparent which data is genuinely needed, how much manual work disappears and whether expansion makes sense. The same approach applies to Odoo: first stabilise a core process, then expand from a manageable foundation. This provides evidence sooner and keeps the investment linked to operational value.

A useful first conversation includes

  • The process in which information is entered too late or twice.
  • An example of the current recording method or system used.
  • The people who deal with exceptions in practice.
  • A clear next decision that better data will support.
