From a Simple Board Game Shop… to a Smooth-Running Business with Odoo

The true story of Meeple Movers — proof that “small shops can grow, and big shops can run smarter” with ERP

If you’re a board game lover, you probably know what the perfect board game shop should look like — shelves full of games, tables ready for walk-ins, a cozy café corner, and fun events that keep people coming back.

This is exactly what Meeple Movers, a board game store in Florida, USA, has been building over the years.

But behind the scenes… they faced the same struggles many board game shops and game cafés around the world deal with.


❌ Too many systems = too much chaos

In the beginning, Meeple Movers relied on multiple software tools to run their business — different systems for sales, stock, rentals, table reservations, and their café.

Sounds organized, right?

Not really.

Because nothing was connected.

  • Staff had to enter the same data in multiple systems

  • Inventory counts took days to finish

  • Software + integrations cost nearly $10,000/year

  • Reports were scattered across different platforms

  • Managing events and memberships was a manual headache

Eventually, the owners realized:

We need one system that can handle everything.”

🌟 And that’s when Odoo changed the game

After months of searching, Meeple Movers found Odoo — a system that does exactly what they needed:

  • All-in-one solution for retail, rentals, café operations, and events

  • Easy to use, flexible, and future-proof

  • Real-time data they could edit, analyze, and export anytime

  • Clear pricing — no more paying for five systems at once

Once they moved to Odoo, the results were obvious…


🚀 The “WOW” results every board game shop dreams of

✔ Inventory improved instantly — 75% faster

They used to close the shop for TWO FULL DAYS just to count stock.

With Odoo + Barcode?

Done in just 5 hours.

✔ Faster service with a modern POS

A large touchscreen POS made checkout smoother, reducing customer wait time.

And for the café — orders now go straight to the kitchen with IoT printing.

No more shouting orders or messy handwritten notes.

✔ Sales, rentals, events, and memberships — all in ONE place

Real-time dashboards give them a complete view of the business.

They can track members, event registrations, best-selling games, stock levels… everything.

✔ Saved 20+ hours every month on back-office tasks

Purchase orders, product info, and reporting became fast and simple —

giving the owners more time to focus on the community they love.

All of this helped Meeple Movers focus on what matters most:

creating a fun, welcoming place where people can enjoy board games together. 🎉
