The context
Laying a solid Odoo foundation for a growing children’s publisher
Éditions Karné is a children’s publishing house based in Antananarivo, Madagascar, offering picture books, quarterly Malagasy magazines, and audiobooks that celebrate and share Malagasy culture with young readers.
Before the project, Editions Karné did not have a centralized ERP and relied on separate tools and manual processes to manage its product catalog, price lists, contacts, and sales activities, making it harder to prepare for growth and maintain data consistency.
The stakes were to secure a reliable, scalable system from the very beginning, reduce manual handling of core data, and give the team clear, real-time information to make better decisions for their publishing and subscription activities.
Their needs
A first Odoo setup that puts reliable data at the center
Editions Karné wanted a foundational Odoo setup that would centralize products and contacts, import existing data, and get a new instance ready to go live with the essential configurations in place.
- A foundational Odoo environment focused on Products, Contacts, and general system configuration.
- Data import for the product catalog, price lists, and contacts to start from complete, reliable information.
- Basic instance installation and go-live setup so the ERP could be used in day-to-day operations.
- Configuration of outgoing email to communicate directly from Odoo and support sales and subscriptions.
The proposed solution
An Odoo foundation designed after a complete analysis of needs
Captivea Madagascar began with a complete analysis of Editions Karné’s Odoo environment and business processes, then configured a foundational Odoo ERP with the Sales, Subscriptions, Inventory, and Purchase apps, importing key data and setting up emails so the team could save time, reduce administrative work, and access reliable information in real time.
The first step of this project is to perform a complete analysis of the client's Odoo environment.
