About the customer

powercloud GmbH is a leading SaaS platform in the energy industry

powercloud GmbH is a leading SaaS platform in the energy industry that enables energy suppliers to digitalise processes, manage billing efficiently and bring new energy products to market quickly. To remain a technology leader in this dynamic environment, the company relies on state-of-the-art software architectures.

The challenge & starting point

powercloud's clear goal for the upcoming upgrade to Odoo 15:

Away from massive custom developments (custom code).

Over the years, individual customisations and special developments in the existing Odoo system had led to a heavily bloated software architecture (Odoo 13). This drove maintenance and development costs up considerably and made smooth system upgrades more difficult.

Towards a lean, future-proof and high-performance standard architecture.

The solution from SAMSA IT

As an experienced Odoo partner with in-depth industry expertise in the energy sector, the SAMSA IT team supported powercloud in the successful upgrade and the structural clean-up:

Consistent focus on the Odoo standard

Instead of blindly carrying over special solutions that had grown historically, SAMSA IT analysed the existing processes in depth and showed what the Odoo standard can do out of the box.

Reduction of custom developments

Through the skilful use of the native Odoo standard modules, the dependency on individual code customisations was drastically reduced.

Successful upgrade to Odoo 15

The migration was used to slim down the system for the long term, secure its upgradability for the future and at the same time significantly increase performance for users.

Results & business impact

90% less custom code

Reduction of in-house programming effort from formerly 455,000 lines of code to only 26,000.

Massive cost savings

Drastic reduction of ongoing development and maintenance costs.

Freeing up resources

Valuable internal resources were freed up to focus fully on the core business and the continuous growth of the SaaS platform.

Future-proofing

Thanks to the return to the standard, the system is now ready for coming Odoo generations and reduces technical risks to a minimum.
