Introduction

THE NAME

SODOO and “BEYOND SUPERUSER”

Both the name and the tagline carry one claim: a familiar core, with an unfamiliar layer on top of it.

SODOO : ODOO + SODOOC +++ from PORTWARE

odooThe core it is built on: Odoo 19 Community, LGPL-3. Open schema, your data, no lock-in.

sudoUbuntu’s command for taking authority. The spelling of SODOO nods to it: a system that hands the power to the person using it.

so, do!Read aloud in English: “let’s get it done”. Work done rather than discussed — the whole deck rests on that.

+++SODOOC, SOTION, SODRAW, Cowork AI and 54 custom modules — the layer the core either lacks or charges for.

Introduction

AGENDA

What we will cover

Seven sections. We start with what the system is and end with the reports that feed decisions.

What you gain: By the end you will have seen, part by part, which piece of your work SODOO makes easier and how.

1 · The SODOO layerSODOOC, SOTION, SODRAW and Cowork AI.

2 · Commercial processesCRM, sales, purchasing and inventory.

3 · ManufacturingMRP, bills of materials, work centres and quality.

4 · Projects and serviceMethods, timeline, workload, field service.

5 · Finance and peopleAccounting, budgets, KPIs, OKRs, e-invoicing and HR.

6 · Sales channelsWeb, e-commerce, marketing and point of sale.

7 · Governance and decisions: reporting, permissions, deployment and the roadmap

Introduction

SODOO

What is it?

A business management system that keeps a company’s entire operation in one database (BRP — Business Resource Planning).

What you gain: Sales, stock, production, accounting and people live in one system instead of separate programs: you enter a fact once and everyone sees the same one.

Built on Odoo 19 CommunityThe core is LGPL-3 licensed; the database schema is open and the data is yours.

392+ installed applicationsCRM, sales, inventory, manufacturing, accounting, HR, projects and more — all on the same record.

Turkish and e-invoicingInterface, reports and customer-facing documents in Turkish; e-Invoice and tax-authority integration come built in.

A layer Odoo does not haveSODOOC, SOTION, SODRAW and Cowork AI — capabilities that are paid for, or simply absent, in commercial editions.

Introduction

ARCHITECTURE

Technical foundation

Four layers. Every one of them replaceable, none of them a black box.

What you gain: Your data sits in an open database that you own; you are not locked to one vendor.

Introduction

USER INTERFACE

The anatomy of a screen

What you gain: Learn one screen and you know them all: buttons and information sit in the same place in every app.

A quotation record — the same shell on every screen.

Application railAlways open on the left. Installed apps as icons; clicking one reopens the screen you last had in it.

Tab stripOpen screens along the bottom. Jump from a quote to stock and back without losing your place; the tabs belong to you and persist.Not in Odoo · in SODOO

Smart buttonsCounting shortcuts above the record: how many quotes, deliveries, invoices — click the number and that list opens.

The chatterThe record’s own history on the right: messages, internal notes, activities and the audit trail. No archive apart from the record.

Attachment foldersFiles in the chatter get folders, archiving and versions, and the chatter refreshes live for everyone looking at it.Not in Odoo · in SODOO

Office documents inside the system

Word, Excel and presentation files open in the browser, are edited together, and every save leaves a version behind.

What you gain: Word and Excel files stop travelling by email; everyone works on the latest version of the same file.

WordTemplates, mail merge, full editing.

ExcelFormulas, pivot tables, charts.

PresentationsProfessional slide decks and animations.

Simultaneous editingSeveral people at once, with live cursors.

SODOOC

Not ONLYOFFICE — its levelled-up form, made for SODOO

The base is an open-source office server. SODOO did not merely put it inside the ERP — it added a layer that works on the document itself.

What you gain: Quotes, contracts and specifications never leave the system: the file on the record lives beside the record’s data, versioned and discussed in place.

Cowork AI on the documentIt reads the open document, summarises it, drafts sections and fills tables — and asks before it writes.

Editable diagramsA SODRAW drawing stays inside the document and stays editable — it is not a pasted screenshot.

Versions and coloured differencesEvery save is a revision, and any two are compared with a coloured diff across text, cell values and formatting.

A visible Ctrl+SLeaves a checkpoint: the way to say “keep this state” without disturbing the live session.

Attachment foldersDocuments are foldered and archived on the record, in the same place as the conversation.

Together, at onceMultiple users, live cursors and comments on the document — no file goes round by email.

Word · Excel · Slides · PDF viewing · generation from templates · downloadable output

SODOOC

A full office suite — on the record

This is not a preview: formulas, pivot tables, protection, co-editing and plugins sit on the same ribbon as a desktop suite.

What you gain: No separate office program to install and no download needed to edit a document.

WordExcelSlidesPluginsAI tab

The spreadsheet editor — the PORTWARE price list, Home tab.

SODOOC · AI

The assistant inside the document

What you gain: Copying a document into a chat website ends: the assistant reads the open file and asks before it writes.

Summarise and rewriteA selection or the whole document.

Fill the tableIn a spreadsheet, with data, without breaking formulas.

Approval gateEvery change is shown before it is written.

Version safety netEvery save is a revision — what the AI wrote can be rolled back too.

SOTION

Everything the company knows, in one place

A Notion-style knowledge base: nested pages, a variable system and status labels. Change a fact once and it changes on every page that uses it.

What you gain: Company know-how lives in one place anyone can find, not in people’s heads — change a fact once and every page updates.

The shortest way to explain a process

The Draw.io editor lives inside the document or the record. The drawing stays editable — it is not a screenshot.

What you gain: Explain a process with a diagram instead of a long text — and fix the diagram later if things change.

FlowchartsWorkflows and decision diagrams (BPMN 2.0).

Organisation chartsHierarchy, departments, reporting lines.

Software diagrams (UML)Class, sequence and use-case drawings.

COWORK AI

An assistant that knows the screen you are on

It opens on every screen and talks about the record in front of you. It asks for confirmation before it changes anything.

What you gain: You no longer need to know the ERP to use the ERP: you say what you want, and the system knows which field on which screen that is.

Multiple providersOpenAI, Gemini, Claude and others — behind one interface.

In-screen conversationAsk about the record on the page, immediately.

Data analysisProject summaries, customer reports, table interpretation.

Updating recordsChanges in plain language — behind a confirmation step.

Finding what is missingIt finds empty fields across records and ranks them.

Session historyEvery conversation is kept and can be filtered by model.

THE MORNING BRIEFING

Every morning at 08:00, before you ask

The assistant does not only speak when spoken to. Every morning it reviews your CRM, activities, tasks, quotations and deliveries.

What you gain: The day starts with the list, not with the search for what was forgotten.

A badge on the top barWhen it is ready the COWORK icon carries a badge.

Scoped to the personEach person sees their own work; no findings means no briefing.

A company view for supervisorsUnassigned leads, unassigned tasks, late transfers.

On demandThe panel’s button runs the same audit right away.

Links to the recordExamples arrive by address: you click, not search.

Examples, not a flood8 examples and the real total; listed up to 50.

The SODOO layer

OdooSODOO

THE SYSTEM AUDIT

The 22 things it looks at every morning

This is not “the AI found something”: each one is a named, countable query defined in code.

What you gain: Forgotten quotes, unanswered messages and late deliveries come to you without anyone searching.

Pipeline and leads — 6No next step, stalled, no revenue, no contact, untouched, unassigned.

Activities — 1Past their date and closed by nobody.

Threads — 2A customer message with no reply; a thread that has not moved.

Meetings — 2No next step; no notes written.

Quotes and orders — 3An unanswered quote, an unsent draft, an incomplete line.

Tasks — 3Overdue, undated, unassigned.

Deliveries — 2Transfers past their scheduled date.

Product data — 3No description, no internal reference, or no price.

16 findings belong to the person; 6 are company-wide and shown only to a supervisor.

OdooSODOO

THE DIFFERENCE

Not a number — what to do about it

“259 records need fixing” is a report, and it moves nobody. The briefing writes the remedy next to every finding.

What you gain: It does not just say “there is a problem”; it tells you what to do and on which record.

	An ordinary report	The SODOO briefing
What it says	A number	The number, example records and a one-sentence remedy
Who writes the remedy	Nobody	The server — written in code per finding; the model does not invent it
Getting to the record	You go and find it	The address is inside the finding, and it is clickable
Going deeper	Not possible	The same finding listed up to 50 records, from the panel
Asking a question	Not possible	The briefing is a conversation — “why does this matter?”
Starting the work	You switch to another screen	From the same panel: schedule the activity, follow the quotation up

The SODOO layer

OdooSODOO

ACTION

216 tools, one confirmation gate

The assistant does not only write text; it calls the system’s own operations. A tool that reads runs directly; a tool that WRITES waits for your approval.

What you gain: Authority stays with you: the AI says what it will change, you approve it, and if you dislike the result it is undone.

In every moduleCRM, sales, purchasing, inventory, manufacturing, PLM, quality, accounting, HR, projects, field service and e-invoicing.

Approval before writingThe proposed change sits on screen; no record changes until you approve it.

UndoChanges the assistant made are kept for the session and can be rolled back.

Background workLong jobs are queued; the panel tells you itself when they finish — no page refresh needed.

Memory across sessionsWhat it learns is stored; you do not explain it again in every conversation.

The limits are in codeQueries, sources and outbound calls are each guarded — the assistant cannot step outside its permissions.

The SODOO layer

OdooSODOO

PROVIDERS

Eight providers — one of them on your own server

OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek, GLM, Mistral, Groq and Ollama on your own server — behind one interface.

What you gain: You are not locked to a single AI vendor: the provider changes, your workflow does not.

Automatic selectionSimple questions go to a fast model, heavy analysis to a strong one.

A backup providerIf one provider cannot answer, the turn falls to the next.

Inside the companyWith Ollama the data never leaves the server.

A spend ledgerWhat each question cost is recorded per provider.

A measured choiceThe default model is chosen by a comparative run, not a guess.

Pinning by handPin a chat to one model; the bubble names who answered.

REACH

Where the work happens

Cowork AI is not a chat website: the same assistant lives in the ERP screen, the editor, the office document and the attachment.

What you gain: Copy-paste ends: the assistant already sees the data.

In the ERP screenIt knows the open record; it does not ask which customer.

In the editorIn every HTML field it writes, corrects and translates.

In a SODOOC documentOn the Word, Excel and slide file — asking first.

On images and scansIt reads photographs, drawings and scanned PDFs.

By voiceIt transcribes dictation and separates speakers.

Its output is a fileReports, slides, diagrams — in a downloadable file.

VERSIONS AND DIFFS

Nothing you write is ever lost

Version history is not wired into one place but into every place a document lives: office files, in-system documents, record attachments.

What you gain: The question “which one was the latest?” disappears: every save leaves a revision, and any two revisions can be put side by side with the changes coloured in.

SODOOC — office filesEvery save is a revision in Word, Excel and slides; Ctrl+S leaves a checkpoint whenever you want one.

What changed, in colourTwo revisions are compared and the difference is coloured: text, cell values and formatting, each on its own.

In-system documentsA SODOO HTML document is versioned too: the previous state survives even when the body is rewritten.

Record attachmentsAttachment folders keep a file’s earlier versions, and an archived file is not deleted.

Who, and whenEvery revision carries its author and time, shown in the reader’s own timezone.

RestoreGoing back to an older revision does not erase history: it is restored by appending, so the chain stays whole.

HTML DOCUMENT

A document that lives beside the record

Contents on the left, the page in the middle, design on the right; version history and PDF above. Diagrams and tables stay editable.

What you gain: A technical note or report sits right next to its quote or project — no searching.

An HTML document — with page design and a table of contents.

WRITING DOCUMENTS

A rich-text field versus a SODOO document

Odoo’s HTML field is a notepad. A SODOO document is a document: it has a page, a design, versions and a downloadable form.

What you gain: You write proper, designed, downloadable documents inside the system — no need to go out to Word.

	Odoo rich text	SODOO document
Page design	None	Background, margins, ink — stored as a field, so it survives a rewritten body
Diagrams	None	SODRAW — inside the document and still editable
Spreadsheet	A plain table	exTable — multi-cell selection, Excel-like editing
Freehand drawing	None	The page’s own drawing layer — 11 tools, movable and resizable
Version history	None	Every save is a revision, and restorable

Export	None	Downloadable HTML and PDF, design included

ACTIVITY MANAGEMENT

The work to be done sits on the record

In Odoo a completed activity is deleted and only a message remains. SODOO writes it into a ledger.

What you gain: Who did what, when, and how long it took can still be read off the record months later.

A permanent ledgerA completed activity is not erased; the planned and the actual date are kept together.

Time spentThe time an activity took is captured — no separate timesheet to fill in.

The agendaOne always-visible surface, with reminders that need no setup.

The team viewWhat has piled up on whom, on one screen — the place to look when balancing load.

Alongside the calendarTasks, meetings and calls on one timeline, with no copy between them.

Overdue workAn overdue activity is coloured on the record and counted in the report.

PROJECTS

From a task to an invoice

What you gain: Project hours walk into the invoice by themselves; no spreadsheet is carried by hand between effort spent and money billed.

Project tasks — stages, assignments and progress.

Task managementKanban, list and calendar; sub-tasks and dependencies.

Time trackingTimesheets, billable hours, cost.

Resource planningTeam assignments, load balancing, conflict checks.

InvoicingTime-based or fixed price, tied to the contract.

PROJECTS · METHOD

Every project picks its own method

Scrum, Kanban, Waterfall or Stage-Gate. A project that chooses none sees no change at all — a method is a declaration, not an imposition.

What you gain: The Jira way of working, inside the ERP: sprints, releases and links — on the same data as working calendars, leave and timesheets.

SprintsWhat was promised, what is done and what is left — as charts.

Backlog boardDrag work into the coming periods.

Stage-GatePhase transitions need approval; the requester cannot approve.

Releases and componentsTarget and release dates kept apart; every component has an owner.

Typed linksRelates to, duplicates, causes — without moving the schedule.

Work item typesFrom the big goal to the small job: initiative, epic, story, task.

PROJECTS · SCRUM

From the backlog to the sprint

Drag a work card into a period; the totals always stay correct.

What you gain: The team plans together, by drag and drop, what it will do next.

The backlog board — the SD series launch.

PROJECTS · PLANNING

Timeline and team workload

When work is assigned, the person's load for that week is in view. The Gantt view Community lacks was added as a real view type.

What you gain: The decision stays human — but it is made with the numbers in view. The warning never blocks an assignment.

TimelineSearch, filters, grouping; task and sub-task hierarchy.

Fits the working calendarWork dropped on a Friday lands on Monday, not the weekend.

Team WorkloadTasks, meetings, leave and public holidays, each shown apart.

Uncounted work is shownTasks without a window or hours are counted and named.

Project HealthOverdue work, the next milestone, remaining hours.

PROJECTS · PLANNING

The timeline

Each bar runs from a job’s start to its end; a job whose dates were estimated is hatched.

What you gain: When each job starts and ends, and what overlaps, is visible on one strip.

PROJECTS · CAPACITY

Team workload

Who is how full in which week — tasks, meetings, leave and holidays shown apart.

What you gain: You see how busy each person is before you overload anyone.

MAINTENANCE

Equipment and field service

Three kinds of maintenance in one ledger: preventive, corrective and predictive.

What you gain: Maintenance accumulates on the equipment’s own history: faults, spare parts and cost all on the same asset record.

Preventive maintenanceScheduled periodic service and checklists.

Corrective maintenanceFault reports, prioritisation, repair.

PredictiveEarly warnings from sensor and usage data.

Equipment recordsAsset details, specifications, warranty tracking.

Work ordersAssignment, spare parts, duration and cost.

MobileWork orders, photos and signatures in the field.

ACCOUNTING

Double-entry accounting

What you gain: Accounting is not a ledger typed up afterwards but the output of the work itself: the delivery produces the invoice and the invoice produces the entry.

Accounting — invoices, payments and bank reconciliation.

Chart of accountsThe Turkish uniform chart of accounts, multi-company, customisable.

Invoice managementCustomer and vendor invoices, credit notes, e-invoicing.

PaymentsReceipts, payments, cheques and notes, bank reconciliation.

ReportingBalance sheet, income statement, trial balance, ageing.

FINANCE · PERFORMANCE

One number, one definition

Accounting answers “what happened?”; Finance answers “what should have happened, what will, and what do we do?”

What you gain: “Net sales” on the scorecard, the income statement and the budget are the same number. Meetings end in decisions, not arguments about figures.

Shared definitionsHow 65 figures are computed is defined once, for everyone.

Scorecard28 indicators in 6 categories; trend, target and status.

Financial statementsBalance sheet, income, cash flow, ratios — with a budget column.

Undefined is not zeroAn unmeasured ratio shows a dash, never a fake zero.

FINANCE · SCORECARD

The scorecard: health on one screen

Every indicator with its value, twelve-month trend, target and where it is computed from.

What you gain: How the company is doing on one page: you can tell what is going well and what needs attention by its colour.

Finance and people

FINANCE · BUDGET

Plan → control → analysis

A budget is not a forecast but an agreement — and it can stop a purchase.

What you gain: The system warns you before spending goes over budget — and can stop it if you want.

1
PlanPlan income and costs month by month, and try different scenarios.
2
Drive itUnits × price, heads × rate — “what if we sell 20% less?” is one cell.
3
ApproveAn approved budget is read-only; a change is a new revision.
4
ControlIf the budget would be exceeded, it warns or stops the order, bill or expense as it is entered.
5

FINANCE · BUDGET

The budget grid

Income and cost lines in rows, months in columns. Plan, actual and “what if?” scenarios in the same table.

What you gain: Plan and actual side by side; you see month by month where the gap comes from.

FINANCE · GOALS

From the goal to the number: OKR

Open to every employee — the financial statements are not. A key result can set the scorecard's target.

What you gain: Everyone knows which company goal their own goal serves.

Objective and key resultCompany, team and individual levels, aligned.

Scorecard KPIThe value is read from the scorecard, not typed in.

Publish the targetIt becomes the indicator's threshold for the cycle.

Progress is computedWorked out automatically from the key results.

Confidence is writtenOn track / At risk / Off track — the only early warning.

FINANCE · OKR

Alignment: who serves what

The bar shows how far along a goal is; the badge shows how confident the team is of reaching it.

What you gain: Which goals are on track and which are at risk shows up early.

TÜRKİYE e-INVOICING

Turkish localisation

The real cost of running a foreign ERP in Türkiye is usually not the licence — it is the missing localisation.

What you gain: e-Invoicing is not an add-on bolted on later: it lives where the invoice is born, and goes to the tax authority from there.

e-InvoiceApproved sending and receiving, scenario handling, integrator connectivity.

e-ArchiveConsumer invoices, digital archiving, PDF generation.

e-WaybillElectronic dispatch notes and chained deliveries.

e-ReconciliationAccount reconciliation and statutory BA/BS filings.

Your digital storefront

A drag-and-drop site builder and an online shop — the catalogue is fed by the ERP, with no second copy of the data.

TRAINING

It ships with its own handbook

User training is not a PDF attachment: it is a book opened from inside the system that knows the section for every screen.

What you gain: A stuck user opens the explanation for the screen they are on with one click — less training effort.

39 chaptersFrom day one to development — finance and project training included.

This screen's chapterThe help button opens the page for the screen you are on.

Concept lessonsBudget and project management — independent of the product.

Real screensTaken from a demo company, carrying no personal data.

Full-text searchCtrl K across guides, the handbook and module pages.

Two languagesTurkish and English guides and presentation.

REPORTING

Data for decisions

Every screen carries its own report; there is no separate business-intelligence system to buy.

What you gain: A report comes from the record itself rather than a separate system — you can click through the number you see down to the rows behind it.

DashboardsKPI cards, real time, customisable.

Pivot analysisTurn data by rows and columns; click a number to see the detail.

Standard reportsPredefined, exportable to PDF and Excel.

Scheduled reportsDistributed periodically by email.

Saved filtersPersonal and shared views.

Analysis with CoworkHave it read the table, summarise it, and explain the outlier.

Governance and decisions

PERMISSIONS AND SECURITY

Who sees what

Access control is not just hiding a screen: records are protected at the rule level, and every change leaves a trace.

What you gain: Everyone sees only what their job needs, and who changed what is always known.

Roles and groupsUsers join groups and groups imply one another; access is inherited rather than copied.

Record rulesOn the same screen different users see different rows — by company, team or ownership.

Multi-companyCompanies keep separate books, share common records, and are consolidated in reporting.

Audit trailWho changed what and when — in the record’s chatter, and not erasable.

Governance and decisions

DEPLOYMENT AND OPERATIONS

Where it runs and how it is kept

What you gain: The system and the data stay under your control, and upgrades do not stop your work.

HostingOn your own server or in the cloud; the data and the backups stay with you.

DatabasePostgreSQL. The schema is open — you can query it directly.

Backup and recoveryDaily backups including the filestore; recovery is verified by rehearsal.

UpgradesVersioned per module; a change runs on a copy first and only then reaches production.

Localised deployment, training and support are provided by SMB TECHNICS.

MEASUREMENT

Not a claim — a count

These are not marketing figures: they are counted by the documentation tooling as it scans the installed system, and they are recomputed every time the docs are built.

What you gain: The figures are not marketing promises; they are counted from the system itself.

180documented modules

315data models

235web routes

6.457automated tests

ROADMAP

How a rollout starts

An ERP is not switched on all at once. The order starts with the process that hurts most, and every step is left working on its own.

What you gain: You do not change everything at once: you start with the process that hurts most and move step by step.

1
DiscoveryMapping current processes, agreeing priorities and scope.
2
Setup and dataChart of accounts, products, partners and opening balances.
3
PilotOne process goes live on real data and is measured.
4
RolloutThe remaining modules in sequence, each with training and a checklist.
5
OperationsSupport, upgrades and improvement — the system is not frozen, it keeps evolving.
