Discover how UX turns your ERP project into a strategic asset with Odoo and Smile's expertise. Simplify and boost user adoption.

What if your ERP became a real asset rather than just a tool? User experience (UX) is the key to turning this ambition into reality! Odoo offers an intuitive solution designed to simplify the day-to-day work of your teams. By combining this user-friendliness with Smile's UX expertise, your ERP project will be quickly adopted and will become a driving force behind your company's transformation.

 

Why is UX crucial to a successful ERP project?

UX isn't just about design. Offering an intuitive and pleasant interface makes the product more attractive, which boosts user adoption and commitment.

A good user experience also makes it easier for newcomers to get on board (reducing training time and the time it takes to get to grips with internal IS tools).

The UX will also offer an operational advantage, so it becomes a lever for efficiency! With an intuitive interface that takes account of users' needs and facilitates access to information, day-to-day tasks are simpler and quicker to carry out, because fewer clicks are required.

 

How is Odoo redefining the user experience?

For several years, and well before many other players, Odoo has been investing heavily in its UX so that its users can navigate easily in an interface that is both clear and intuitive. Odoo doesn't just cover the functional essentials, it also makes it easier for users to get to grips with the system and adopt it over the long term.

Users particularly appreciate the ability to adapt the various interface screens to suit their business, thanks to specific, customisable shortcuts, making the tool even more user-friendly.

When they migrate to Odoo from another ERP, many users breathe a sigh of relief when they discover this new experience (it's a real-life experience!): Access to information is easier, the data integration logic is consistent and interconnection with other tools is fluid. 

 

UX at the heart of the Smile approach

At Smile, the user experience is central. Through UX-Republic, our dedicated UX subsidiary, we design solutions that put people at the heart of every project. Our Human First approach is based on an in-depth understanding of end-users' needs and expectations, well beyond mere technical requirements.

We work with an agile methodology that enables us to rapidly test, adjust and improve the UX of solutions, by co-constructing with the customer. This iterative process ensures that the final product is not only functional, but also perfectly adapted to users' expectations.

Smile doesn't just implement Odoo. We add real ergonomic value. As an expert integrator, we have the necessary experience to adapt Odoo to the specific needs of each company, while enriching the solution's UX. We create bespoke portals designed to meet the requirements of each business sector and the specific expectations of each company. For example, managing schedules, which is often complex, becomes child's play thanks to an intuitive interface, customised by us.

To go even further, Smile and UX-Republic carry out on-site immersions to observe how users work and use Odoo on a daily basis. This approach enables us to design perfectly adapted user experiences, optimising the adoption of Odoo.

 

Turnkey ERP with complementary strengths

In addition to its UX expertise, Smile uses a number of other levers to guarantee a complete, high-performance ERP solution. Through our partnership with Alter Way, we offer secure hosting solutions. We also offer data management services with Synotis and mobile applications via neopixl. What's more, our expertise in e-commerce enables us to understand the specific challenges of different business sectors and to offer tailor-made solutions.

Odoo offers a fluid and accessible interface, and Smile adds its UX expertise to ensure rapid and effective adoption of the solution. Together, we can help you maximise the benefits of your ERP and deliver a user experience that exceeds expectations.
