Every book tells a story. But what about the story behind how millions of books find their way to readers?

Discover how Finland's largest bookstore elevated their customer experience by implementing Odoo to manage over one million products and high-volume retail demands. When a century-old beloved brand with 50+ stores nationwide needed to replace their 20-year-old system, they chose a solution that would maintain the human connection between books and customers while handling complex backend operations.

The presentation explores how the customer experience drove technical decisions, including:
1. Seamless inventory management of one million+ products, connecting customers with what they seek whether browsing shelves or screens
2. Intelligent order flow that lets staff create meaningful moments with customers instead of wrestling with systems
3. Data architecture that transforms insights into deeply personalized customer experiences

The talk is perfect for retail transformation leaders, technical decision-makers with complex inventory challenges, and businesses scaling beyond standard ERP implementations who need solutions that enhance rather than sacrifice the customer experience. Discover how Odoo scales to manage even a million products while strengthening what makes your customer experience truly unique.
