ODOO · EVENT OPERATIONS

A unified operational system for productions, performers, and equipment at scale

How Bobos Club transformed an operation managing dozens of simultaneous events, 300+ performers, and large scale equipment logistics from Excel spreadsheets and Viber coordination into a unified operational architecture — with project profitability, skill based staffing, and real time production management designed into the system from the beginning.

At a glance

Bobos Club is one of the most established organizations for large scale children’s events and brand activations in Greece and Cyprus, with more than 25 years of presence in the market. As an official licensee of major international brands, the company designs and delivers events across shopping malls, public venues, and private productions, operating with proprietary equipment and a network of more than 300 performers and specialized technical staff.

An operation of this scale and complexity — with hundreds of proposals every year, dozens of simultaneous events, a large pool of performers with different skill sets, and significant amounts of equipment constantly moving between productions — was, until recently, managed through Excel spreadsheets, Viber coordination, and a traditional accounting system.

The challenge was not simply “digital transformation.” It was the creation of a unified operational view across people, equipment, scheduling, costing, and production workflows, without losing the flexibility the team had developed through years of real operational experience.

Neurons Tech designed and implemented an architecture first solution built on Odoo, unifying sales, project management, performer coordination, rental equipment operations, and event level financial tracking inside a single operational platform.

The context


When production outgrows its tools


Unlike a typical commercial business, Bobos Club manages multiple moving parts simultaneously for every production: performers with different skills and availability, equipment constantly moving between events and warehouses, strict production timelines, and real operational costs that needed to be tracked against every proposal.

This complexity was being managed through a fragmented operational setup:

  • Excel spreadsheets for proposals, costing, and planning,
  • Viber for daily production coordination and performer communication,
  • and an accounting system disconnected from the real operational flow of the business.

In an operation handling more than 100 proposals per year and a network of more than 300 collaborators, information was scattered across systems and conversations. The team relied heavily on experience, memory, and constant human coordination to answer critical operational questions:

  • which performer was suitable and available for each event,
  • where equipment was located at any given time,
  • which projects were actually profitable,
  • and how profitability evolved while a production was still in progress.

The objective was not simply another software tool. It was the transition from fragmented coordination to a unified operational architecture.

Why Odoo was selected


The decision to build on Odoo was driven primarily by its ability to operate as a unified operational platform for a business with highly different but deeply interconnected needs.

An event production company does not only need CRM or only project management.

It needs:
  • proposal management,
  • project orchestration,
  • human resource coordination based on skills and availability,
  • equipment operating as rental inventory,
  • and financial visibility per production event,
  • all connected together in real time.

Odoo made it possible to design this unified operational logic on top of a single shared platform, instead of continuing to maintain disconnected tools that could not communicate with each other.

Our approach

OPA: Observe · Plan · Act

For this project, we applied the OPA framework (Observe · Plan · Act), the methodology we use for every serious operational transformation engagement: first the operational architecture is designed, then the technology that will support it is selected.

O

OBSERVE

Unlike a greenfield project, Bobos Club already operated with a mature production environment built through decades of real operational experience. The knowledge existed — but it was distributed across Excel files, Viber conversations, and people who simply “knew how things worked.”

We observed how production actually operated in practice:
  • how proposals were created,
  • how performers were selected based on skills and availability,
  • how equipment moved between productions,
  • and how the real cost of an event was tracked.

The objective was not to replace the way the team worked, but to translate that operational knowledge into a unified and structured operational system without losing the flexibility required for day to day production work.

P

PLAN

A unified Odoo environment was designed where every event operates as an independent project with its own operational and financial visibility. Every resource — people, time, or equipment — is connected directly to the production it supports.

The architecture was built around five core operational pillars:

Sales for structured proposal management, historical visibility, and tracking across the entire sales cycle.

Project & Timesheet allowing every event to operate with agile project logic, including time tracking, cost visibility, and profitability monitoring as the production evolves.

Employees & Time Off for managing a network of more than 300 performers based on skills, availability, and staffing requirements per event.

Inventory & Barcode enabling rental equipment to operate as an active operational resource, with real time visibility into location, event allocation, and return scheduling.

Expenses for directly connecting operational expenses to each production project, providing accurate event level profitability visibility.

A

ACT

The business has now been operating on the new system for more than a year in full production.

The most important outcome was not simply the technical implementation, but the operational adoption itself. A team that had managed its daily production workflows through Excel spreadsheets and Viber coordination for years successfully transitioned into a unified operational system without losing the speed and flexibility required for real world event production.

What changed operationally

Production gained a unified operational view


Every event now operates as a structured project with a clear workflow, timeline, team structure, and financial visibility. Daily coordination moved away from fragmented conversations into a shared operational environment, enabling stronger visibility and significantly more structured production management.

Real time profitability visibility per event


For the first time, the team can monitor the real cost and profitability evolution of each production while the event is still in progress — not only after completion. This fundamentally changed operational decision making around pricing, staffing, and resource allocation.

Inventory architecture designed


Inventory management was structured from the beginning around a multi location retail model, controlled warehouse operations, and organized stock movement flows. Inventory counts, balancing, and stock transfers operate on a unified operational foundation, providing reliable availability visibility and controlled replenishment across the network. Each new location is onboarded onto already structured operational processes rather than ad hoc workflows that would later require redesign.

Equipment became operationally visible


With Inventory and Barcode tracking, rental equipment gained full operational traceability. The team now knows which equipment is assigned to each event, what is returning, what is available, and where bottlenecks or replenishment needs are emerging.

Skill based performer management


Performer selection no longer depends exclusively on memory and production conversations. The system enables structured staffing decisions based on skills, availability, and participation history, improving coordination across a network of more than 300 collaborators.

Digital transformation that achieved adoption


The most difficult part of transitions like these is rarely the technology itself — it is operational adoption by the team. In the case of Bobos Club, the transition happened quickly because the system architecture was designed around the real way production already operated, rather than forcing theoretical workflows onto the organization.
