At Circular Plastics Company, our core mission is plastic recycling—a sector that is both operationally complex and tightly regulated. As a fast-growing business with operations in Myanmar and Vietnam, we knew from the outset that a robust, flexible, and well-integrated ERP system would be essential to structure our operations and support our regional development. This is what led us to work with Trobz for the implementation of Odoo ERP at our newly launched Vietnamese entity. The project presented a dual challenge: on one hand, we were launching a brand-new facility in Vietnam, still under construction; on the other, we aimed to model and adapt our well-established processes in Myanmar to meet the specific operational and legal context of Vietnam.

A progressive ERP rollout aligned with real-world operations
From the start, our intention was clear: we wanted to deploy Odoo gradually , in sync with the construction of the factory. The idea was to activate and go live with each ERP module at the right time , matching our operational needs as they unfolded. This required a detailed understanding of our workflows, precise planning, and above all, a highly adaptive technical approach. We couldn’t afford to implement a rigid, one-size-fits-all ERP system. That’s precisely where Trobz stood out .

A transparent and client-focused methodology
We spoke with several ERP integrators before making our choice. Most of them proposed fixed-scope packages with vague details and all-inclusive prices. By contrast, Trobz offered a more tailored and transparent approach : starting with a gap analysis , based on on-site visits to both our Myanmar and Vietnamese operations. This approach gave us a clear roadmap of what was required—highlighting the key differences and similarities between the two sites. From there, Trobz presented us with a customization list in a “menu” format , which allowed us to prioritize based on operational urgency and budget constraints. This level of clarity, flexibility, and collaboration was a key factor in choosing them as our partner.

A smooth and highly collaborative rollout
The entire project took approximately one year to complete, and throughout this time, we experienced consistent professionalism and strong engagement from the Trobz team. Whether we were working on module configuration, functional adjustments, end-user training, or support, the  level of responsiveness and attentivenes exceeded our expectations. We particularly appreciated their ability to  leverage existing Odoo modules to meet our needs, rather than defaulting to costly custom development. This helped reduce complexity, maintain system stability, and speed up implementation. Naturally, as with any large-scale ERP project, priorities and needs evolved. But every adjustment—whether related to scope, planning, or features—was handled in  an agile and pragmatic way , without losing sight of our core goals.   

Operational timing that matched every milestone
As intended, each module went live at the exact time it was needed, in line with the physical progress of the facility. This modular rollout strategy allowed our internal teams to stay focused on other critical tasks during the setup phase, without being overwhelmed by the ERP implementation. Today, all core modules—including procurement, inventory, manufacturing, finance, HR, and sales—are live and actively used by our teams in Vietnam. The system is stable, reliable, and perfectly aligned with our operational workflows. 

Open source ERP with a partner who shares our values
We chose  Odoo  for its modularity, openness, and functional depth. But implementing an open source ERP also requires a partner who understands the  spirit of openness, flexibility, and transparency —qualities rarely found in large-scale proprietary ERP vendors. With Trobz, we found a partner who fully embraces these values. Their human-centered approach, their willingness to educate and involve us in every step, and their clear communication made the difference. More than just a technical service provider, they became a  true strategic partner, aligned with our long-term vision and challenges.

Final thoughts – A success on all fronts
Looking back, our ERP implementation with Trobz has been an undeniable success. I would highly recommend them to any company looking to roll out Odoo in a thoughtful, progressive, and operationally grounded manner. They managed to  turn a complex project into a well-structured and timely success, respecting all our constraints—budget, timeline, and quality. Their strengths lie in deep technical expertise, practical guidance, and a genuine spirit of partnership. Today, Odoo plays a central role in our daily operations, and we have complete confidence that, with Trobz by our side, the system will continue to grow and evolve with us.
