The context

A growing creative firm structuring its audiovisual and event operations

WAVE is a full-service creative firm based in Concord, North Carolina, delivering design, engineering, acoustics, and technical services to clients across the United States and internationally through memorable audio, video, and lighting experiences.

Before the Odoo ERP project in 2024, WAVE was managing its creative, technical, and operational activities without a single integrated business platform, which made it harder to coordinate projects, track resources, and support its nationwide and international reach.

The stakes for WAVE were to support continued growth, maintain high-quality and innovative audiovisual experiences, and gain better control over operations and financial performance while serving clients across diverse locations.

Their needs

Structuring operations with a unified ERP backbone

WAVE wanted an integrated ERP system that could keep pace with its creative and technical ambitions, centralise core processes, and provide clearer visibility over projects, services, and business performance.

  • Centralise key operational, project, and service data in a single system.
  • Improve visibility into ongoing work to better plan resources and timelines.
  • Support national and international activities with more reliable and structured processes.
  • Provide management with clearer insights to guide decisions and future growth.

The proposed solution

An Odoo ERP foundation tailored to audiovisual and event services

Captivea USA implemented Odoo ERP for WAVE, giving the company an integrated foundation to better structure its operations, connect its creative and technical activities with business management, and align its growth with clearer, more reliable information.

The first step of this project is to perform a complete analysis of the client's Odoo environment.

Analysis objectives

  • To be reassured on the feasibility
  • Show that we understood their business
  • To confirm a budget
  • To know and confirm how we will do it
  • Know the timeline

Analysis processes

  1. Business discovery
  2. Workshops by theme / group of people / domains
  3. Create the deliverable documents
  4. Present it
  5. Handle feedback
