Who is the company in this case study?

For confidentiality we don't reveal the client's name: we describe it as a Spanish building-materials company. The technical details of the case — modules, processes, methodology — are real.

Why on-premise instead of the cloud?

Because the client chose to install the system on its own infrastructure, with no dependency on a cloud provider — a valid Odoo deployment option, just as compatible with the rest of the methodology.

What are the usual payment terms you mention?

They are the collection modalities common in the sector in Spain, including deferred payment. The system manages them inside the same Odoo, alongside the rest of the sale.

What is the AI trainer you mention?

A private AI model, trained on this specific project's specifications and processes, queryable in natural language — an implementation service from uKodeIT/uKITAIz, not a feature included in uKore.

Case study

How a Spanish building-materials company integrates purchasing, warehousing and collections in a single Odoo

Updated: September 2026

A Spanish building-materials company runs its physical store on a single Odoo system installed on-premise: purchasing, warehousing and counter sales, with collections in their usual payment terms.

The starting point

The business needed a system installed on its own infrastructure — on-premise, with no dependency on a cloud provider — able to hold the full cycle of a physical building-materials store: buying from suppliers, running the warehouse, and selling at the counter. The most demanding part wasn't the catalogue or the stock, but collections: in this sector, the customer doesn't always pay in the same way.

What was implemented

Purchasing

Supplier purchasing management integrated with the warehouse and the counter, in the same system.

Warehousing

Warehouse stock control connected in real time with purchasing and counter sales.

Counter sale

The physical point of sale runs on the same stock and purchasing data, with no separate systems.

Collection at the point of sale

The simplest payment terms, integrated as one more option within the same sales flow.

Credit collection

Credit sales with their usual payment terms, inside the same Odoo.

The differentiator: the real Spanish collection circuit

Generic ERPs tend to cover the simplest sales well, but fall short on the rest of the collection circuit common in Spain. This system integrates the business's usual payment terms inside the same on-premise Odoo, with no dependency on a spreadsheet or a separate system for anything that isn't a simple sale.

The methodology: client-layer modules, zero core changes

As with any uKodeIT implementation, the customizations that back this collection circuit are built in the client's customization layer — never by touching Odoo's core. So when Odoo ships a new version, the upgrade lands clean and the collection circuit keeps working exactly the same, instead of getting stuck on the version it was implemented on.

And the project keeps its own AI trainer

uKodeIT and uKITAIz are the same company. As part of the implementation, the project is handed over with its own AI model trained as a special trainer: the client's team can ask, at any time, about the specifications and processes of their own project, in natural language. It's always a private AI — trained for this client and deployable on controlled infrastructure, with no dependency on third-party clouds. It's offered as part of the implementation service, not as a uKore feature.
