From complex catalog to seamless B2B portal
IDD Parts B.V. is the distribution arm of ASSA ABLOY in the Benelux, supplying door hardware, lock cylinders, and physical access security systems to professional installers and security integrators. Operating as a subsidiary within a large international group brings a specific challenge: every system must talk to the parent company’s financial consolidation platform — while remaining agile enough for day-to-day commercial operations.
When IDD Parts approached FANATICS, they were managing a fragmented landscape of tools that could not keep pace with their catalog complexity. ASSA ABLOY products come in hundreds of variants — key profiles, cylinder lengths, keying systems, door dimensions — and customers needed to be able to configure and order exactly the right combination online, without requiring a phone call or a sales rep in the loop for every transaction.
Configurable products at scale
The heart of the project is Odoo’s Product Configurator, extended to handle IDD Parts’ access-hardware logic. B2B customers log in to the portal and work through a structured configuration flow: door type, function, cylinder type, key system, and finishing. The configurator validates combinations in real time and generates a precise bill of materials that feeds directly into production planning and stock allocation.
Because the product catalog spans multiple ASSA ABLOY sub-brands and product families, catalog management was a core concern. Products are structured with clean attribute matrices in Odoo, making it straightforward for the internal team to add new variants or retire discontinued lines without developer intervention.
Automated sync with Onestream
As an ASSA ABLOY subsidiary, IDD Parts is required to submit financial data into Onestream, the group’s consolidation platform. FANATICS built a dedicated integration layer that exports the relevant journal entries and financial aggregates from Odoo on a scheduled basis and pushes them to Onestream in the format required by the group reporting team.
This eliminates the manual extraction and reformatting work that previously consumed significant time at month-end close. The finance team at IDD Parts now works exclusively in Odoo; the Onestream submission is handled automatically.
B2B portal and order management
The Odoo eCommerce module was configured as a gated B2B portal rather than a public webshop. Dealers and installers log in with individual credentials, see their account-specific pricing and available product range, and can place, track, and manage orders without leaving the portal. Order confirmations, delivery notes, and invoices are all available in the customer portal.
The Sales and Inventory modules work in tandem to keep stock visibility accurate. Reservation logic ensures that confirmed orders are immediately reflected in available stock, preventing overselling on fast-moving product lines.
Outcome
IDD Parts went live in 2025 with an integrated Odoo environment that covers the full commercial and operational cycle — from online product configuration through to production, shipping, and group financial reporting. The Onestream integration removed a significant manual burden from the finance team, and the B2B portal has raised the self-service capability of IDD Parts’ dealer network considerably.
