EMASPHERE is probably one of the most effective solutions I’ve personally come across.

Why wasn’t Odoo’s reporting enough for Hills Health?

Hills Health had consolidated many financial systems from different entities in TM1. “In principle, it worked, but it was very manual and didn’t provide all the answers our finance team needed,” explains Natasha Wickramanayake, Senior Accountant.

After moving to Odoo, the team quickly reached the limits of its standard reporting. “EMASPHERE became an extension of our Odoo reports.” Budgeting was the other gap: “the budgeting function doesn’t exist” in Odoo.

How does Hills Health report and budget today?

“We managed to build and customize everything directly in EMASPHERE,” says Tamara Singham, Financial Controller. Dashboards follow two main ratios, one for management work and one for direct work. Budgets are built from scratch or from an existing fiscal year and tracked against actuals.

“We’re saving a lot of time,” adds Natasha. Next, the team wants to bring in HR data, since salaries are half of its costs, and connect HubSpot for sales reporting.
