W3 Engineers, a software powerhouse with over 16 years of experience, has been delivering cutting-edge mobile apps, web applications, IT solutions, and blockchain services to offshore clients. But behind their technological success, they faced internal challenges—until Odoo entered the picture.
The Challenge: Managing Growth with Outdated Tools
Like many IT companies, W3 Engineers needed a reliable way to manage their growing team and operations. “Before Odoo, we used to struggle a lot—especially with daily tasks and internal activities,” explains Rashid Zaman, Chief Operations Officer at W3 Engineers.
Hiring was one of the biggest pain points. The team relied on Excel sheets and hard copies to store CVs, making it difficult to track candidates and manage recruitment efficiently. “Those were really unmanageable,” Rashid recalls.
The same inefficiencies affected their document handling, payroll, leave policies, and project management. As Sabbir Ahmed, Chief Technology Officer, puts it: “We had a lot of paperwork—Word documents, Excel sheets—and that cost us time.”
The Solution: One Platform, Endless Possibilities
After researching various ERP solutions, W3 Engineers chose Odoo for its flexibility and comprehensive features. What set Odoo apart? A single, integrated platform that could handle multiple functions—from recruitment to payroll to project tracking.
“With Odoo, not only do we manage hiring, but we also manage projects, leave policies, time calculations, holidays, and more,” says Sabbir. Everything is clear and accessible, empowering management to oversee operations effortlessly.
One standout feature for W3 Engineers was Odoo Studio, which allowed them to customize the system to fit their unique workflows. The platform’s cloud accessibility means the team can manage tasks from anywhere in the world—critical for an organization working with global clients.
The Impact: Time Saved, Efficiency Gained
By adopting Odoo, W3 Engineers transformed how they work:
- Streamlined recruitment: Publish job descriptions, collect CVs, shortlist candidates, and manage the entire process in one place.
- Integrated finance: Payroll, salaries, and accounting are now handled within Odoo, eliminating the struggle of pulling data from multiple sources.
- Improved communication and transparency: All data is centralized, making it easier to collaborate and manage day-to-day operations.
“It’s a lifesaver for us,” Rashid shares. “If I would describe Odoo in one word, it would be: excellent.”
Looking ahead, W3 Engineers plans to implement Odoo’s CRM and Projects modules to further enhance their operations.
