De Vreede Techniek is a family-run technical services firm in Waddinxveen serving business clients. A team that works in the field, plans assignments, orders materials and invoices after delivery. For that kind of operation, a workable CRM, planning and project administration matters more than a deep accounting module — the accountant has Twinfield for that.
The challenge
De Vreede has used Twinfield for accounting for years. It works, their accountant knows it, and year-end runs smoothly. But Twinfield is not an ERP. Sales, project planning, inventory and time tracking lived in separate spreadsheets and emails. That made it hard to see what was running, how many hours were booked per assignment, and which materials were still on order.
The request was straightforward: build a working operational layer without losing Twinfield. The accountant should be able to keep doing his job.
The approach
We set up Odoo for the full operational cycle: CRM, sales, projects, inventory, purchase and field service. Anything to do with customers, assignments and execution lives in one database. Once an assignment is completed and invoiced, the invoice is automatically forwarded to Twinfield through the Odoo-Twinfield integration, so the accountant doesn’t have to retype.
The biggest win is visibility. Anetta, Jasper and Ryan see in one place what’s open, who’s working on it, what’s ordered and what’s still to be invoiced. No more loose spreadsheets, no more emails to find something back.
Result
De Vreede runs operations in Odoo, accounting in Twinfield, and has no overlap between the two. Since the initial implementation in 2023 there have been multiple expansions, stacked on what’s already there. A setup that fits how a family business works: practical, building on what runs, not everything at once.
