Food Industry: Process Optimization with Odoo

Colona is a Belgian company specializing in the production of sauces such as mayonnaise, ketchup, and other specialty sauces. Thanks to its expertise and passion for culinary innovation, Colona has become a recognized player in its industry. In order to support its growth and optimize its internal processes, the company chose to implement Odoo, a comprehensive ERP solution. 

Why choose Odoo ? 

Colona’s decision to choose Odoo was based on several important factors. For Thibault Colon, the scalability of the solution was crucial. He explains :

"What really impressed us was the flexibility and scalability of Odoo. We were looking for a solution that could support our growth, and Odoo offered exactly what we were looking for."

Additionally, Odoo’s user interface was a decisive factor. The Colona team appreciated the simplicity and smoothness of the tool, which facilitated its adoption within the company. According to Thibault :

"The interface of Odoo really stood out to us. It has a very unique 'feel' that you don’t find with other traditional solutions. This really made it easier to use on a daily basis."

The meeting with Nalios

The collaboration with Nalios began almost by chance, thanks to recommendations from trusted intermediaries. The choice quickly leaned towards Nalios, particularly due to their approach based on the use of standards with minimal custom development. The demo of the solution, conducted by Nalios, convinced Colona to move forward with this ERP solution, due to the simplicity and efficiency it offered. 

The benefits of the Odoo solution

One of the main advantages that Odoo brought to Colona is the centralization of information. Before implementing Odoo, the company was using several small, separate software systems, making data access more complex and less efficient. Today, with Odoo, all the information is centralized in a single system, providing clear and quick visibility on essential business data. 

Another major benefit of Odoo for Colona is the powerful dashboarding tool that allows them to track the company's progress. With this tool, Colona can analyze and adjust its strategies with a global and precise overview, which is crucial for making informed decisions tailored to their specific needs. 

A successful collaboration with Nalios

The relationship between Colona and Nalios is described as excellent. The partnership with Nalios is characterized by exemplary responsiveness and a keen understanding of the company’s needs. Thibault Colon emphasizes that the Nalios team is always available to respond quickly to requests and offer solutions that perfectly match the business’s requirements.
