Bright LED Solutions: from Exact Online to a fully connected Odoo manufacturing environment

Linky Business supported Bright LED Solutions with a complete historical migration and an integrated Odoo environment that connects business processes with equipment on the shop floor.

About the customer

High-quality optical LED solutions from one connected operation

Bright LED Solutions develops and manufactures high-quality optical LED solutions. As a manufacturing company, its processes extend far beyond administration: manufacturing, inventory, purchasing, sales, logistics and equipment on the shop floor must work together.

Linky Business supported Bright LED Solutions in moving from Exact Online to a fully integrated Odoo environment.

Complete historical migration

More than seven years of Exact Online data retained in Odoo

The objective was not simply to start with a new system. Valuable organisational history also had to remain available in Odoo.

The migration included the information needed to continue working and to retain historical context:

  • Financial entries.
  • Customers and suppliers.
  • Products and product information.
  • Sales orders and purchase orders.
  • Documents.
  • Historical transactions and business data.
Historical Exact Online data migrated to an integrated Odoo environment
History remains available as part of the new operational environment instead of being separated in an archive.

One central business environment

Odoo for the complete operation

After the migration, Odoo was configured as the central environment for the processes that support manufacturing and order fulfilment.

Manufacturing and inventory

Manufacturing, materials, inventory movements and product information are managed in the same operational context.

Sales and purchasing

Customer demand, sales orders, procurement and supplier flows are connected to the processes that follow.

Accounting

Financial administration is part of the same environment as the transactions that create it.

Logistics and order management

Product, order and logistics information no longer needs to be maintained across separate solutions.

The result is one integrated system in which departments work with shared information instead of managing the same process in disconnected applications.

From ERP to the physical shop floor

The implementation went beyond software

Linky Business connected several hardware solutions to Odoo, including scales, printers, RFID systems and the alarm system.

This allows information to be exchanged directly between the physical shop floor and Odoo. Operational events become part of the business environment where manufacturing, inventory, orders and administration are managed.

We explain the systems involved and the business result, while customer-specific technical configuration remains confidential. The key result is that software and shop-floor operations work as one process.

One connected manufacturing environment

Administration, operations and equipment in one connected environment

The resulting business environment connects administration, sales, purchasing, inventory, manufacturing and hardware within one coherent platform. It gives Bright LED Solutions a foundation in which information from the office and the physical shop floor can be used in the same operational process.

Bright LED Solutions is a clear example of the Linky Business approach: combining Odoo with manufacturing processes and machine and hardware integration within one environment.
