Nathalie Terras, CEO of Ondyna and a long-time client of Captivea since 2014, shares her experience with the Odoo solution. Her goal was to optimise the management of her customer service and technical support. Thanks to Odoo's intuitive modules, such as CRM and helpdesk, Ondyna improved the efficiency of its daily activities, thereby enhancing the quality of its services to better meet the expectations of its customers.
Ondyna: Leader in high-end faucetry
Founded 25 years ago and located in Estrablin, in the southeast of France, Ondyna has established itself as a major player in high-end faucets. Thanks to its exclusive partnership with the Italian brand Cristina, the company distributes the faucet brand in France through a network of professional wholesalers. Under the leadership of Nathalie Terras, Ondyna is committed every day to environmentally friendly production and ethical business practices.

Initial challenges: A limited CRM and support system
Ondyna identified gaps in its old customer relationship management (CRM) system and its technical support service (helpdesk). Ticket processing times were too long, and the lack of visibility into the status of customer requests hindered responsiveness. Furthermore, the absence of a centralised database made it difficult to resolve recurring issues.
To address these issues and provide quality customer service, Ondyna decided to migrate to a more efficient solution like Odoo ERP, capable of centralising all interactions with customers, automating recurring tasks, and improving collaboration among teams.

The choice of Odoo and Captivea
A necessary migration to Odoo
Previously using SugarCRM, Ondyna decided to migrate to Odoo to meet its growing needs in customer relationship management and technical support. Captivea recommended Odoo for its flexibility, its ability to centralise data, and its integrated CRM and Helpdesk modules. This decision allowed Ondyna to modernise its internal processes while improving the user experience.
"Captivea led us to Odoo. They recommended Odoo, saying it was a good tool that had been very satisfactory for their clients. In our network, several people had positive opinions about Odoo, which encouraged us to make the leap" - Nathalie Terras, CEO of Ondyna
A trusted Odoo integration partner like Captivea
Already a partner of Ondyna for the integration of SugarCRM, Captivea naturally became the preferred choice to carry out the migration to Odoo. With its expertise in ERP integration, Captivea ensured a quick and effective transition, completing the project in just two months. This trust-based relationship allowed Ondyna to benefit from tailored support throughout the process.

Nathalie Terras shares her experience: "I remember that at the time, we had an in-house solution that didn't satisfy us, so we decided to implement a CRM in 2014. We issued an RFQ, and SugarCRM and Captivea were the best positioned to meet our needs at that time."
"We chose Captivea for our migration to Odoo due to the urgency of the situation, as our contract with SugarCRM was coming to an end. Captivea was selected because we trusted their ability to meet deadlines [...] The migration phase went quickly. In two months, we completed all the necessary tests and finalised the transition on time"
The benefits of Odoo for customer service
A centralised and optimised support system thanks to Odoo
Ondyna has transformed its customer service with Odoo, resulting in several key improvements:
- Ticketing system: Customers can create a ticket and attach it to their parcel when returning a defective product.
- Receipt confirmation: An email is automatically sent to the customer to confirm receipt of the parcel, ensuring clear communication.
- Request tracking: At each step of the after-sales service process, customers are informed of the progress of their request, improving the responsiveness of customer service.
- Centralisation of ticketing support: Odoo has centralised the ticketing system, giving customers a better experience when tracking their requests.
- Improved customer satisfaction: With smooth and transparent ticket management, customer satisfaction has increased significantly.
- High-quality after-sales service support: As a distributor of faucets, Ondyna must ensure fast and efficient support for customer issues. Odoo has optimised the handling of complaints, enabling quicker responses to requests.
- Strengthening trust: This approach has not only improved Ondyna's responsiveness, but also built greater trust with its customers.
“We provide after-sales service support to our customers. We set up a ticketing system where they can create a ticket to attach to their parcel so we can collect the defective product. It is tracked upon receipt, and an email is sent to the customer to confirm receipt of their parcel. At every stage of the after-sales service, the customer is informed” - Nathalie Terras, CEO of Ondyna
Better internal communication and traceability
Odoo has also optimised internal communication within Ondyna. The number of people copied on emails has been significantly reduced, allowing for faster response times in tracking requests. Thanks to a well-structured ticketing system, the company has become more efficient, which has directly improved the quality of service provided to customers.
Nathalie Terras, CEO of Ondyna, explains:
"Previously at Ondyna, we often faced an overload of emails, with 15 people copied in, and it was hard to know whether we had replied to the customer or not. As part of our efforts to improve customer service, we set up a support system that generates a ticket every time a customer writes to us. Everyone can follow the ticket, and we created dependent tickets between departments, allowing the customer to track their request from start to finish. I would say that Captivea and Odoo's way of working really helped us address this issue. Implementing support through Odoo has been a real change and a real asset for us."
Optimised management for the wholesale sector
Optimisation of quotation management
In addition to improving customer support, Odoo has enabled Ondyna to rethink its quotation creation process. Odoo offers a fast and intuitive solution for creating, tracking and managing quotations, providing significant time savings for the sales team.
As Nathalie Terras points out: "Creating quotations in Odoo is much simpler and more customisable than in Sage, where we had a custom module. With Odoo, we can easily follow up with our customers and track the entire lifecycle of quotations, which is a real advantage."
Internal support efficiency
Odoo also proves beneficial for internal management, facilitating collaboration between different departments at Ondyna, such as accounting and after-sales service. Dispute management is smoother thanks to increased process traceability, ensuring better coordination between teams.
"Odoo has transformed the way we manage support, both for our customers and our internal teams. Initially, we had set up a helpdesk for the technical department and another for customer service. Today, each department has its own support. For our customers, we kept two entry points: customer service and technical support. Internally, however, we have evolved by creating procedures that leverage Odoo to facilitate the flow of requests between departments." - Nathalie Terras, CEO of Ondyna
