EBTrans relied on SAP ERP for accounting and operations, but faced:
High cost of ownership
Poor usability across a distributed workforce
Limited flexibility for multi-country accounting requirements
Heavy reliance on manual processes and Excel
At scale, these constraints slowed operations and limited visibility across subsidiaries.
EBTrans migrated to Odoo to unify operations across Europe.
Key components:
Full accounting + multi-ledger support
Fleet profitability tracking (per truck)
Expense, time off, CRM, and helpdesk
Custom fuel (gasoil) tracking system
Country-specific chart of accounts and reporting
Implementation was phased over two years, rolling out country-by-country with tailored configurations.
Flexible architecture: Adapted to complex depreciation models and multi-entity accounting
Modular rollout: Started with simpler modules, then scaled to core financial systems
Partner-led customization: Acsone delivered targeted, low-cost customizations
Data model redesign: Standardized accounting across countries while preserving local compliance
10–20 seconds to process supplier invoices (vs. ~7 minutes in SAP)
Significantly lower software and maintenance costs
Real-time visibility across subsidiaries and fleet operations
Improved decision-making through accessible, unified data
Increased user adoption due to intuitive UX
What started as an accounting replacement became a full operational platform.
EBTrans now runs:
Finance
Fleet management
HR workflows
Customer and support operations
…all within a single, extensible system.
Odoo enabled EBTrans to replace a rigid, expensive ERP with a flexible, scalable platform capable of supporting complex multinational logistics operations without sacrificing usability or cost efficiency.
