Case studies
Project direction, architecture and delivery leadership behind some of the UK's leading open source business system implementations.
Open Digital has provided project direction, solution architecture, design and delivery leadership on business system programmes across the private and public sector - directing delivery teams and client relationships to successful outcomes. A selection of those engagements is documented here.
CarShop: scaling to sale
An Odoo-based dealer management system that took a used car supermarket from £100m to £300m turnover in three years, ending in acquisition with no licensing barriers.
NHS GP IT Futures: national billing
Automated tri-party billing on Odoo for 200 centrally-funded services, 70 suppliers and 7,500 GP practices, on course to process over £100m per year.
Royal Marsden: NHS finance on Odoo CE
A full finance platform for a hospital pharmacy subsidiary, delivered in under three months, saving £200,000 in licence fees.
Make to order manufacturing
From a wall of spreadsheets to a single Odoo system running sales, production scheduling, purchasing and accounts - implemented in two months.
DVLA timed auctions
A real-time online auction platform with Odoo handling complex auction accounting - which became the DVLA's main sales channel through the pandemic.
SLaM: project recovery
Putting a stalled NHS electronic observations programme back on track, scaling it to 800 staff across 50 mental health wards.
The pattern across every engagement is the same: understand the business first, engineer the process, then deliver systems that fit - open source throughout, owned by the client, with no lock-in to survive growth, acquisition, or change of supplier.
