Automation & AI

Business processes, automated with Odoo & AI

I don't stop at configuring apps. I look at how work actually moves through the company and remove the manual steps, so people spend time on decisions instead of data entry.

Functional ERP

Processes mapped to Odoo across finance, sales, supply chain, HR and manufacturing.

Technical setup

Studio, automation rules, reports, data migration, integrations and custom apps with developers.

Automation & AI

Repetitive work removed with Odoo automation, AI features and MCP connections.

Fiscal localization

German DATEV, SKR03/SKR04 and GoBD, and Saudi ZATCA e-invoicing.

Example workflow
  1. TriggerVendor bill arrives by email
  2. AIOdoo reads the PDF and fills in the bill
  3. RuleOver €5,000? Send for approval
  4. DonePosted, matched and ready for DATEV
Automation rules

Status changes, reminders, follow-ups and assignments that run on their own when a record changes.

Scheduled actions & integrations

Recurring jobs and API connections to marketplaces, banks, e-commerce and accounting tools.

AI in Odoo

Document digitization for bills and receipts, AI-drafted texts and smart suggestions inside everyday apps.

Odoo Studio & custom apps

Custom fields, screens, reports and workflows, and full custom modules built together with developers.

Approvals & document flows

Purchase, expense and payment approvals with e-signature and organized documents.

Reporting & dashboards

Live KPIs and spreadsheet dashboards, with Power BI where needed.

MCP · Model Context Protocol

AI assistants that work directly inside your Odoo

I set up MCP servers for Odoo so teams can ask an AI assistant for answers, reports and actions in plain language, and it works on live Odoo data under each user's own permissions.

  • Secure sign-in: every user connects with their own Odoo login, access rights and record rules.
  • Controlled access: read-only or full access, chosen per model and per operation.
  • Custom AI tools: Odoo server actions turned into tools, such as confirming a sales order.
  • Audit and limits: every call logged, with rate limits and safe error messages.
My specialty

Odoo, made for German bookkeeping.

I set up Odoo so it fits the way German companies and their tax advisers already work: the right chart of accounts, correct VAT on every invoice, and a clean DATEV export at the end of each period.

Example booking
DATEVDATEV exportBuchungsstapel for the period
Tax adviserSteuerberater, ready to file
DATEV export

Bookings exported in the DATEV format your tax adviser imports directly, with matching account numbers and tax keys.

SKR03 / SKR04

The standard German chart of accounts, set up cleanly so reports and exports line up with what the tax adviser expects.

Fiscal positions

Domestic, EU and non-EU customers and suppliers get the right VAT automatically, including intra-EU supplies and reverse charge under §13b UStG.

Umsatzsteuer & UStVA

VAT at 19 % and 7 % mapped to the right accounts, so the advance VAT return (UStVA) comes straight out of Odoo.

GoBD-compliant setup

Processes and document handling set up to follow the German principles for proper digital bookkeeping.

XRechnung / ZUGFeRD

Structured e-invoices for the German e-invoicing rules, for both public-sector and business customers.

From first workshop to go-live week

I own the functional side of an Odoo project. That means asking the right questions early, configuring cleanly, and making sure the team can run the system on their own.

  1. 1Workshops & fit-gap

    Map how the business runs today and where Odoo fits, before anything is configured.

  2. 2Configuration

    Clean module setup, workflows, approvals and access rights that match your processes.

  3. 3Data migration & testing

    Master data and open items moved over, then tested end to end with your key users.

  4. 4Training & go-live

    Hands-on training, clear documentation and support through go-live week and after.
