Media and communication — your Odoo experts
Media and communication companies juggle editorial calendars, ad sales, production schedules and complex rights while margins tighten and channels multiply. Captivea helps you structure an Odoo ERP stack that connects content, campaigns and finance on one backbone, so teams stop reconciling silos and focus on delivering high-impact media experiences.
Context
An Odoo Gold Partner dedicated to media and communication
Captivea supports media and communication companies of all sizes, from local broadcasters and publishers to international entertainment groups and fast-growing digital agencies. Our teams understand production workflows, advertising models and audience strategies, so your Odoo project is grounded in real media operations rather than generic process templates.
From initial scoping to post–go-live optimisation, we cover the full lifecycle of your digital transformation with Odoo: ERP implementation, website and digital experience, analytics and business intelligence, as well as artificial intelligence use cases tailored to media. You gain a long-term partner who can evolve your platform as formats, channels and revenue models change.
The concrete gains
What you gain
Your company
Operational efficiency across channels
With Odoo as your single ERP backbone, you streamline planning, production, ad operations and finance, eliminating duplicate entry and manual reconciliations that slow campaigns and shoots.
Profitable media projects and campaigns
By tracking time, costs, rights and revenues per programme, brand or client, you gain clear visibility on margins and can adjust scopes, fees and investments with confidence.
Faster time to air and to market
Integrated workflows from commissioning to billing reduce hand-off delays, so you can launch content, campaigns and events faster while keeping budgets and compliance under control.
Your teams
Unified platform for your teams
Editorial, production, ad sales, finance and HR all work in one environment, sharing schedules, budgets and performance indicators instead of emailing spreadsheets back and forth.
AI in everyday media workflows
AI services embedded in your Odoo environment support routine tasks such as asset tagging, forecasting and reporting, freeing specialists to focus on creative and commercial decisions.
Teams focused on content and clients
With automated processes for bookings, approvals, expenses and invoicing, your people spend less time chasing information and more time producing quality content and growing relationships.
Your customers
Transparent delivery and reporting
Clients and partners receive accurate, timely updates on deliveries, ratings and campaign results, backed by ERP data rather than one-off spreadsheets assembled under pressure.
Maximum responsiveness to briefs
Because availability, rates, rights and historical performance sit in one system, you can answer briefs quickly with realistic proposals and reliable timelines.
Stronger, longer client relationships
Consistent information, clear billing and reliable reporting build trust, making it easier to renew seasons, extend sponsorships and test new commercial formats together.
An integrated offer
ERP · Web · IA · BI for media and communication
Five areas of expertise, one team that knows your business.
ERP
Captivea designs, implements and supports Odoo ERP solutions tailored to media and communication businesses. We help you select and configure modules for project management, rights and contract management, ad sales, accounting, HR and logistics so they reflect how your editorial, production and commercial teams actually work. Our approach keeps your ERP scalable, ready for new channels, streaming offers or business models without re-starting from scratch.
Web & Marketing
We leverage Odoo’s Website, eCommerce, Blog and Marketing apps to run your online properties, campaign landing pages, subscriber journeys and partner portals in the same ecosystem as your ERP. Content and marketing teams can publish and experiment autonomously, while tracking how each initiative contributes to audience growth, subscriptions, sponsorship and other revenue.
Business Consulting
Our consultants review your end-to-end media operations, from ideation and commissioning through scheduling, promotion, monetisation and reporting. We identify bottlenecks, define target processes that minimise manual handoffs, and design a transformation roadmap aligned with your strategy and budget. Change management and training ensure your teams adopt new workflows and get tangible value from Odoo.
Artificial Intelligence
Captivea helps you introduce AI use cases that are directly useful to media organisations: smarter forecasting for programming and ad inventory, automated campaign and financial reporting, intelligent asset tagging and assisted decision-making for pricing and resource allocation. We integrate these capabilities with Odoo while respecting your governance, data privacy and regulatory constraints.
Business Intelligence
On top of Odoo, we build BI and reporting layers that combine financial data, ratings, digital analytics, ad-fill rates and production KPIs. Executives and managers access clear dashboards to see which formats, clients, channels and time slots drive performance, and which require corrective action, without exporting and reconciling multiple data sources.
