Case studies in short
Each case shows the question, what we built and the result.
We only show customers who agreed to this in writing.
Figures are about time and work, never about revenue.
Smeulders Sanitair — wholesaler of bathroom and heating supplies, Kalmthout
The question
Over the years, their Odoo had been extended with a lot of custom code. Every update became a risk and maintenance kept costing more.
What we did
Together we mapped every custom component and chose for each one: standard Odoo, settings without code, or a secure integration through the official API. Smeulders then moved to a new Odoo version with its own environment for testing.
The result
Today Smeulders is in full control of its own system: managing and testing it themselves, with a playbook and a clear way of working for every change.
Europe Retail Collective — purchasing organisation of independent specialist retailers
The question
A purchasing organisation holds stock for its members. It wants to see in time where that stock needs adjusting and where risks arise, so that the shared stock risk stays limited.
What we built
An internal working tool on the Arend Group platform, fed with the organisation's own purchasing and stock data. Per item and supplier, the team sees where stock is too high, too low or moving too slowly.
How it stays safe
Access per role, every export is logged and a person takes every decision. The tool contains no members' selling prices and shares no member or supplier data with third parties.
The result
The team adjusts stock in consultation with suppliers and spots stock risks earlier.
