Case Study: Advanced Biological Laboratories achieves streamlined multi-company operations and automated accounting with Odoo

Odoo’s Multi-Company Approach Simplifies ABL’s Complex Business Environment

Advanced Biological Laboratories (ABL S.A.) is a Luxembourg‑based biotechnology firm founded in 2000 that develops clinical software and diagnostics for infectious and chronic diseases. Rapid growth, multiple product lines and entities across Luxembourg, Belgium, Spain and South Africa left ABL with a fragmented setup: decentralized sales teams, accounting run in Excel, manual invoicing and an isolated CRM, which made it hard to track documents, allocate revenue correctly and follow processes across companies.

ABL implemented Odoo’s multi‑company solution (CRM, Sales, Accounting, Invoicing, Project, Timesheets and more) in three months with 50 consultant hours, creating an integrated environment with separate charts of accounts per entity, automated and role‑restricted invoicing, centralized project billing and a ticket system. The result was streamlined operations, fewer accounting errors, clear ownership of documents by entity and a fully functioning multi‑company setup that replaced manual Excel workflows.
