From local start-up to international tech company
Thanks to a strong product-market fit and strategic expansion, Sensorfact grew into an international technology company with more than 200 employees in the Netherlands, Germany and Spain. Today, Sensorfact serves more than 1,600 customers in 40 countries. In 2023, the company raised 25 million euros during an investment round. In addition to success, this impressive growth also brings the usual challenges of a fast-growing scale-up.
An ERP system to scale up
In recent years, Sensorfact has encountered various operational challenges, such as limited insight into sensor stock and the need to optimize the purchasing process. To achieve this, the ERP solution Odoo was chosen. This system connects and automates the most important business processes within the organization, making controlled and data-driven purchasing management possible. Because there was a need for customization, we collaborated with Odoo implementation partner Dynapps.
A collaboration you can build on
“The collaboration with Sensorfact is very positive,” says Satish Sewnarain, project manager at Dynapps. He was there from the introductory meeting and supervised the implementation workshops within the organization. Satish: “During these workshops, the business processes within Sensorfact are central. By mapping these, you find out, for example, when there are repetitive actions, which workflow can be more efficient or whether certain activities are even redundant.”
A flying start for Sensorfact
Although Odoo has more than 30 core applications in total, Sensorfact chose two modules to start with: purchasing and inventory management. After that things went quickly. Only two months after the introduction, the implementation of Odoo could be completed. By setting up Odoo with their own data, the Sensorfact team gained more insight into their stock and could further professionalize their purchasing process.
"We want to become the leading IoT platform for industrial SMEs."
Work smarter, faster and more efficiently with Odoo
Pieter and his team at Sensorfact have ambitious plans: the company wants to grow into the leading IoT platform for industrial SMEs. That this vision is widely supported is evident from the successful investment rounds in which Sensorfact raised 13 million euros in 2022 and 25 million in 2023. The implementation of the ERP system Odoo by implementation partner Dynapps marks an important step in the digitalization and optimization of their business processes.
