Pueblo de Panay is the largest township development in the Visayas region of the Philippines. With approximately 55,000 daily foot traffic and a 670-hectare mixed-use community in Roxas City, Capiz, Pueblo de Panay is a clear example of how Odoo transforms businesses.

Business Challenges before Odoo
Pueblo de Panay operated with manual processes on basic software separate from each other.
- Scattered information: Inventory, finance, sales and other key data were stored on separate spreadsheets, systems and email threads, creating security gaps and inconsistent customer data
- Delayed project timeline: Due to the lack of a single source of truth, the team spent too much time on gathering information and fact-checking before proceeding with next steps, thus delaying project timelines
- Inconsistent decision-making: Without an accurate picture of the business, managers were unable to make data-driven decisions
- Inefficient team collaboration: Different departments collected the same data and performed the same task without a transparent business workflow
- High maintenance cost: The development company needed to allocate extra manpower and resources to keep the multiple systems running, making operational cost unnecessarily high.
Pueblo de Panay saw how their manual processes with such a fragmented approach cost time, people, and money. In order to streamline processes and ensure project profitability, proper inventory management, and accurate finance tracking, Pueblo de Panay knew they needed an integrated solution that could handle different functions of their business across all of their enterprises.
After evaluating several options, they chose Odoo because of its flexibility and ability to adapt to the different needs of their different enterprises.
During system implementation, Odoo and its local partner had shown immense digital transformation support by assisting Pueblo de Panay with data migration and providing the team with functional training.
Essentially, everyone was working in the dark. Management had no real-time visibility on what was happening across the board.

Growing the Business and Scaling Progress with Odoo
While they initially started with staple Odoo apps for their businesses, such as CRM, Sales, Project, and Accounting, they saw the benefits and expanded to add more apps within Odoo.
After going live with Odoo, we saw improvements in efficiency and accuracy almost immediately.
Streamlined Processes Save Hundred of Hours
The first thing they noticed was a drastic reduction in manual tasks, saving hundreds of hours each month.
Their accounting team no longer had to spend days each month just to close books and reconcile accounts because of scattered data. With Odoo, accounting, sales, and inventory were integrated seamlessly. This means, reconciliation happens automatically. Processing financial documents used to take two days. With Odoo, it could be done in just a few hours.
This enabled their finance team to focus more on analysis and less on data entry.
Enhanced Visibility Leads to Better Decisions and Customer Service
Odoo gives the management team full data visibility, enabling better decision-making and a more seamless customer experience.
For Pueblo de Panay, this meant they could track the performance of each enterprise in real-time. Using the Inventory app dashboard and Timesheets, they gained a clear overview of delivery orders, manufacturing progress, and time spent on tasks. This transparency allowed them to quickly address projects that fell behind, manage stock outages, and better control costs and timelines.
With Odoo, sales data flows directly into inventory and accounting, preventing stockouts and improving customer communication. This has not only streamlined internal processes but also led to a significant boost in positive customer experiences by eliminating frustrating issues like unannounced stock outages.
Odoo Enables Business Growth
With Odoo, Pueblo de Panay obtained real-time visibility that increased efficiency and improved financial control.
Through thorough planning and data gathering, they were able to pinpoint exactly what they could improve.
Through Odoo, Pueblo de Panay handled finances through apps like Sales, Accounting, Finance, Purchase, and POS, and managed tasks and employee projects through To-do, Employees, Expenses, and Project.
Thanks to Odoo’s scalability, they didn’t need to start big. They started with the basics, let the results speak for themselves, and expanded gradually.
With the right team helping them, they were confident they could grow their business as long as they started the implementation process.
They just had to start.
