GenKey develops biometric identity and security solutions from The Hague. A technical company that runs on sales, projects, purchasing and a tight administration, but that paid for it like a multinational.
The challenge
GenKey ran on Oracle NetSuite. Powerful, but with a price tag that did not fit the size: a hefty amount per user per year, on licence alone. For a team of eight users that adds up fast, before you have spent anything on implementation or further development. The question was not whether NetSuite could do what GenKey needed, but whether that weight and cost were in proportion to what the company got out of it day to day.
The approach
We set up Odoo as one platform for CRM, sales, purchasing, projects and accounting, tailored to how GenKey works. We calculated the project up front with our own calculator: a phased implementation for eight users, in the order of a few months, at a fraction of the annual NetSuite licence.
The result
That sum was the heart of the business case: the implementation plus the Odoo licence in the first year stayed below what GenKey spent on NetSuite in a single year. No more enterprise overhead, but a modern platform that grows with them, with customisations GenKey owns itself.
