Quite a lot of orange around here. EuroCIS at the Düsseldorf exhibition grounds wrapped up a few weeks ago—but one thing is certain: our booth at Europe’s leading retail trade fair left a lasting impression. Not only did it look great, it also featured six different ice cream flavors—ordered via tablet and fully processed through the open-source system of our partner Odoo, seamlessly integrated into the inventory management system.
Digitalization for a seamless shopping experience
In this “refreshing” atmosphere, exchanging ideas about the requirements of modern retail technology was especially enjoyable. For our young team, it was a great opportunity to gain valuable insights into the current challenges and realities of the retail industry. We returned with many promising new contacts and inspiring conversations with other solution providers. After all, we all share the same goal: using intelligent digitalization to create an excellent user experience for retailers and an outstanding shopping experience for customers.
Opening doors with Odoo
Many visitors shared our enthusiasm for Odoo’s multifunctional business software and are already using it to manage their processes. Overall, we noticed that the demand for hardware and physical products - such as POS systems - was almost stronger than the interest in software solutions. We were particularly impressed by the digital innovations on display, including shelf-scanning robots and camera-based weighing systems. We are excited to see what the coming years will bring and look forward to integrating these innovations into our own solutions and projects.
After the trade fair is before the next trade fair
EuroCIS was our first time experiencing trade fair life on a larger scale - and we’re hooked. Since we handled everything ourselves - from booth design to transport vans and lifting platforms - we definitely broke a sweat beforehand. But the premiere was a great success. Learning from mistakes is part of the rising systems culture. Next time, we’ll certainly remember to bring English-language flyers along - rather than having them rush-printed and delivered to the booth at the last minute.
Of course, you don’t have to wait for the next trade fair to talk to us about Odoo, point-of-sale solutions, or custom software development. Just get in touch - we’re happy to help..
