How we solved it
A proof of concept was needed to show that Odoo can handle complex production needs. We've first started with a pilot project to showcase that the basic functionality was there and that our team has the necessary skills to customize and implement Odoo solution.
During pilot phase, we’ve done a detailed GAP analysis of all user requirements and provided guidance when needed.
After getting the go ahead for the main project that covers all of the ERP functionality needed our team started working on key Odoo v10 modules to expand its functionality.

What does the client say about this project
"In late 2015 our company started mission on searching ERP solution that would solve problems we where facing with exponential growth of our business and help us grow even bigger. During time we met many companies that offered their vision of how we whould fix problems and what path we should follow.
Of all partners only UVID offered unique approach. They gave us their best practices but they where commited that we should see our vision how problem should be solved and they offered open source solution ODOO that they tailored specifically for our needs.
