From Construction to Production: TM Technics' story

We kick off the new season of Dusk till Data with a compelling case: TM Technics, a company that evolved from a traditional construction firm to a modern production environment. In this episode, you'll hear how Managing Director Els Stappers, together with Dynapps, laid the right digital foundations to support that growth—with Odoo as the ERP system. A story about scalability, smart choices, and people-centric leadership. Read the full story below.
About TM Technics

TM Technics TM Technics began as a traditional construction and assembly company but has experienced significant growth in recent years, expanding its activities into production. This transformation required a reevaluation of their systems, leading to the search for an ERP package that could seamlessly support both construction and production activities.

“We noticed we needed scalability and flexibility. Odoo gave me the feeling that we could start with what was necessary and expand later. That modularity gave us confidence.”

Why Odoo and Why Dynapps?

The search for a suitable ERP system stemmed from frustration. The existing package was barely utilized—too complex and not aligned with the company's reality. Then came the crisis in Ukraine: steel prices soared, and TM Technics couldn't adapt quickly enough.

“We wanted a partner who thinks along with us. Not just delivering software, but truly understanding how we work. And we found that in Dynapps.”

Elke Bijnens, Expert Business Advisor at Dynapps: “We start every project by listening. What are the needs? What's currently in place? What needs improvement? TM Technics had already mapped out their processes well—a perfect starting point.”


A Thoughtful Approach Pays Off

What followed was an intensive six-month preparation phase. Everything was tested, analyzed, and adjusted. Els took on the role of SPOC herself, ensuring internal staff were well-prepared.

“Test, test, test—that was my mantra. Only then could the go-live proceed smoothly and flawlessly.”

Dynapps' approach was also appreciated: from standard Quickstart trajectories to in-depth custom analyses. Elke explains: “We always choose the right approach based on the client. Sometimes a standard solution is perfect; other times, customization is needed.”


People and Processes at the Core

This project is characterized by attention to the people behind the processes. TM Technics didn't just start from technology but first asked: how do our employees want to work? What do they need? Els from TM Technics: “Dynapps truly immersed themselves in our operations. They conducted interviews, observed, and joined us on the floor. That made all the difference.”


Ready for the Future

Today, TM Technics operates with Odoo v16, but ambitions go further. Integrating more processes, smarter data management, and above all: scaling without friction.

“I'm a fan of upgrading. Every year, Odoo brings new functionalities, improved security, and compliance with legislation. Think GDPR or Peppol—you want to approach that future-proof.”

In Conclusion: The Key to Success

According to Els? A strong internal ambassador and a partner who looks beyond the tool. “It's impossible for one person in your team to know everything about ERP. You need a partner who can. Dynapps brought not only knowledge but also calm and confidence. That was invaluable.”, Els explains.
