The foundation stone for an impressive success story was laid in 2015 with the founding of Odoo Business Software Solutions (OBS Solutions). What began as a customer-orientated Odoo implementation partner developed into a leading provider of integrated business software solutions - in line with our motto ‘Your success is what drives us’, which still applies today.
The enormous potential of Odoo, both as enterprise software and as a technology platform with the comprehensive open source ecosystem, was very quickly realised in successful projects and strong growth. OBS Solutions became an Odoo Gold Partner after just 1.5 years and won the Odoo Award ‘Best Partner in Europe’ in 2019.
The strategy of the OBS Group was rolled out over the following years based on this success. Together with its subsidiaries, it offers integrated business software for various industries and application areas.
