Years spent inside factories, before and after Odoo
Openindustry is Andrea Piovesana and the people who work with him. The Odoo part is the most recent one: before it there was a furniture factory, and seventeen years building ERP software for manufacturers.
Where we have been sitting
2026-today
Researcher, Rizzo AI Academy
Odoo apps built with agents, on real company projects. The first rule is privacy: systems that stay local, or remote but anonymised.
2015-today
Founder, Openindustry.it
Odoo for companies that manufacture to order. Three apps of our own, and the work on other people's machines.
1998-2015
Project lead, Sanmarco Informatica
Seventeen years building ERP software for manufacturers, on the side of the people who write it.
1992-1996
Head of IT, Mobilificio San Giacomo
A furniture factory, and the IT inside it. The side of the table you are sitting on now.
1991
Degree in information science, with honours
Thesis work on two research projects: Esprit QLIS and a CNR project on parallel computing.
We do not work alone
A job that touches accounts, the shop floor and the warehouse at once needs more than one head. These are the people we work with most often, and like Andrea they are members of the PNLUG in Pordenone.

Informatic Applications, Sacile
On the council of the Associazione Odoo Italia. He got close to software, in his own words, back when computers were plugged into a black and white television set.
Maurizio Pellegrinet
TAKOBI, Pordenone
Over thirty years in company administration: electronic invoicing, VAT registers, LIPE filings, bank reconciliations. The half of the system that has to answer to an auditor.
The code is out there, and so is the count
Saying that you work with open source is easy. On GitHub it can be counted, so here is the count, and the link to check it.

Pull requests accepted into other people's projects
18
Of those, in the official OCA repositories
13
Different OCA repositories touched, from product-attribute to wms
At least one accepted every year since 2017, mostly as forks, because that is how a change gets proposed to the OCA.
And the part that is not work
Odoo Italia Awards 2023
Given by the Associazione Odoo Italia to the members who contributed most to the Italian community, together with Tony Masci, Francesco F. and Piero Cecchi. It was for the Italian localisation.
PNLUG, since 2014
The Pordenone Linux User Group. Twelve years of Linux, open source software and open hardware, in the evenings and at the weekend.
We will not ask you to bend your production to fit the software. We will work out how you actually build things, and put Odoo around that. Write to us.
