Braam Flowers PLC: keeping ten years of Odoo ahead of the farm's growth

A long-running Odoo user whose payroll setup had outgrown what it could handle — upgraded to Odoo 18 with the HRM and payroll capacity to match where the business is headed.

The challenge

A payroll setup that had outgrown the business

Braam Flowers PLC, based in Ziway, has run on Odoo for roughly ten years, originally implemented by a different developer. Over that time the farm's operations and headcount grew — and the existing payroll configuration reached a point where it could no longer keep up with the business's needs.

Rather than replace the platform, Braam Flowers came to AddisERP to bring the system forward: upgrade to the current version of Odoo and extend it with the payroll capability their scale now required.
