In our recent article, we highlighted how Odoo benefits companies of all sizes, including large tech enterprises. Today, we'd like to showcase several prominent companies that have chosen Odoo as their primary ERP system and successfully implemented it to manage their operations.
Toyota (Toyota Material Handling)
Toyota is a major player in the automotive industry, known for setting high standards in the global car market. Recently, its subsidiary, Toyota Material Handling (with operations in Sweden, Italy, and France), adopted Odoo to enhance its distribution network and supply chain management in Europe.
Before Odoo, Toyota relied on multiple ERP systems. However, it was Odoo that delivered the results they were seeking. The implementation of Odoo was swift, and within six months, Toyota observed the following improvements:
- Sales and Order Management: Initially focused on the Odoo Inventory module, Toyota found that Odoo was also highly effective for purchasing management through the Odoo Manufacturing and Purchase modules.
- Account Management: Significant enhancements were noted in account management with the Odoo Accounting module.
Consequently, Toyota decided to transition fully to Odoo, which now helps streamline almost all aspects of their business operations.
Del Monte Philippines
Del Monte Philippines, a leading food and beverage manufacturer, implemented Odoo ERP to better organize its distributor sales. Odoo's adaptable solution enabled seamless operation across various departments. Del Monte tailored several Odoo modules to meet their specific needs, including:

These custom modules assist in tracking product volumes and making data-driven decisions based on delivery reports and order numbers.

Sodexo offers high-quality, sustainable catering and facility management services across a range of sectors, including companies, hospitals, schools, universities, and stadiums. Previously, Sodexo managed documentation across 14 different systems and databases, leading to considerable data chaos. After a thorough market review, Sodexo chose Odoo ERP to streamline data management and automate processes. The implementation resulted in a 10% increase in revenue and highlighted unique advantages in using Odoo for their accounting needs.
Odoo ERP helped Sodexo optimize productivity with minimal effort. The key to their success was creating a centralized system for managing sales processes, complemented by the configuration of six Odoo modules:
- Management of Profit Centers
