Odoo, AI and IT Systems for Companies in Catalonia

Catalonia · Catalunya

At Binovo we implement Odoo, add artificial intelligence to it and look after the IT infrastructure of companies in Barcelona, Girona, Lleida and Tarragona. We are a remote-first company: our headquarters are in Oiartzun, but part of the team lives and works in Catalonia, so we can be at your company when the project calls for it and support you in Catalan. And we know Verifactu and e-invoicing from the inside because we develop our own solutions.

Verifactu and e-invoicing: what applies to a Catalan company

A company with its tax domicile in Catalonia files its taxes with the Spanish Tax Agency (Catalonia has no special tax arrangement or agreement), so its invoicing software must comply with Verifactu and, later on, with B2B e-invoicing. These are two separate obligations that will overlap in time, and it makes sense to prepare your ERP for both at once.

Obligation What it requires Status (October 2026)
Verifactu Each invoice generates a signed, chained record with a QR code, which can be sent to the Spanish Tax Agency immediately. The current regulation sets 1 January 2027 for companies and 1 July 2027 for everyone else. On 5 October 2026 the tax authorities announced a postponement to October 2028, pending publication in the BOE (Spain’s Official State Gazette).
B2B e-invoicing Issuing and receiving structured invoices, and reporting their payment status, under the Crea y Crece Act and Royal Decree 238/2026. Implemented by Order HAC/1028/2026 (BOE of 5 October 2026): companies with turnover above €8 million, from October 2027; everyone else, from October 2028.
SII VAT ledgers kept on the Spanish Tax Agency’s electronic portal, in near real time. In force for large companies, VAT groups, companies registered in the REDEME and those that join voluntarily. Companies on the SII do not have to use Verifactu.

Why Binovo is a good fit here: we have Odoo with Verifactu ready to use and a Verifactu API to connect any other invoicing software. We also have extensive experience communicating with the AEAT and the Basque foral tax authorities, which makes it easier to adopt new tax regulations. If you want to understand what is coming with e-invoicing, we explain it in Payment statuses in e-invoicing.

Information reviewed on 20 October 2026. We will update it when the BOE publishes the new Verifactu timeline.

Odoo for Catalan companies: more Community than Enterprise, without dogma

We are Odoo partners, but our heart is in Odoo Community, the open-source edition, complemented with OCA modules and our own. That way your company pays no per-user licences and the ERP is yours: if one day you want to change provider, you take it with you. If your case calls for Odoo Enterprise, we implement and sell it too; we explain what you gain and what you pay so that you can decide. Find out how we work on an Odoo implementation project.

Industry and automotive

Manufacturing with bills of materials, work orders, subcontracting, quality and real costs per order, for industry in the Vallès, the Baix Llobregat and the Bages.

Food and chemicals

Batches, expiry dates, formulas and traceability from raw material to customer, for the meat and agri-food industry of Osona and Lleida or the chemical industry of the Camp de Tarragona.

Distribution and logistics

Warehouses with multiple locations, routes, customer-specific price lists and carrier integration, for wholesalers and operators around the port and the Zona Franca.

Services, retail and online store

Projects with timesheets, recurring contracts, point of sale, online store and marketplaces, with Verifactu on every receipt and every invoice.

A project in Catalonia: l’Escola del Treball, one of the largest vocational training schools in Catalonia, has chosen Odoo Community with Binovo. Our consultant in Catalonia leads the project and supports them in Catalan.

Every project follows our agile methodology: analysis, phased configuration, data migration from your current ERP, training and support. If you want to see Odoo from the inside before talking to us, you can watch 454 Odoo videos organised by area.

Artificial intelligence inside your Odoo

With Binovo Apps AI, AI works inside Odoo, Community or Enterprise, with no Odoo credits and with the model of your choice. The AI prepares the work and a person decides.

AI agent

Ask Odoo in natural language, prepare reports and quotes, and create records only with your permission.

Vendor bills

It reads the PDF, suggests the account and leaves the bill as a draft, matched against the purchase order.

Expense reports

A photo of the receipt becomes a completed expense, ready for approval.

Your data stays in-house

If you handle sensitive information, the AI can run on your own server with Ollama, without the data ever leaving your company.

To automate tasks across applications, see how we combine RPA and AI. And if you are looking for AI beyond the ERP (agents, automations with n8n or analytics), we do it with Future AI, the AI company of the Binovo Group.

Migration to Proxmox from VMware, Hyper-V or other platforms

Since Broadcom acquired VMware and moved to subscriptions, many companies have seen their virtualisation costs skyrocket. Proxmox Virtual Environment is the open-source alternative we have been implementing since 2013: virtual machines and containers, high availability, Ceph storage and backups with Proxmox Backup Server, with official Proxmox support if you want it.

We migrate from VMware vSphere/ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix/XenServer or physical servers, including when your servers are in a data centre in Barcelona, and we do it without surprises:

  1. Inventory and diagnosis. Machines, licences, storage, network and current backups; with that we calculate your savings and the hardware you can reuse.
  2. Pilot. We set up the Proxmox cluster and migrate the least critical machines first to validate performance and backups.
  3. Phased migration. The rest, in agreed windows outside working hours so your business keeps running, with a rollback plan ready.
  4. High availability and backups. If a node goes down, the machines start on another one; encrypted, deduplicated backups are tested by restoring them.
  5. Maintenance. Patches, updates and continuous monitoring, remotely.

More detail on our Proxmox partner page and in the article Migrating from VMware to Proxmox.

Systems administration, also remotely

Security

pfSense firewalls, regular patching, antivirus and access reviews.

Backups

Proxmox Backup Server and Elkarbackup, with off-site copies and restore tests.

Cloud and servers

Google Workspace, Odoo in the cloud and cloud or data centre servers, managed remotely.

Monitoring

Alerts on disks, backups, certificates and services before the problem reaches your team.

You can delegate everything to us or work alongside your IT team. More at systems administration.

Grants and financing

ACCIÓ, the Catalan government’s agency for business competitiveness, runs the Cupons ACCIÓ every year. In 2026 it launched an AI adoption voucher worth up to €8,000 for a diagnosis with an accredited advisor, whose deadline closed on 30 July. If your project can wait for the 2027 calls, we will help you prepare it so you are ready in time, because the vouchers are awarded in order of application and run out quickly. And if you don’t want to wait, you can finance it with leasing or renting.

How we work with companies in Catalonia

A team in Catalonia, in Catalan

Binovo is a remote-first company, with people in Catalonia, Gipuzkoa, Navarre, Madrid, Cantabria, Andalusia and the Canary Islands. Our consultant in Catalonia provides support in Catalan: this is how we work, for example, with l’Escola del Treball.

Remote day to day

Analysis, configuration, data migration and training by video call, with recorded sessions and documentation for your team; on site when it matters. And Odoo can run in Catalan for those who prefer it.

Ticket-based support

A support portal with tickets and remote assistance, during office hours or extended hours if you contract them.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have staff in Catalonia?

Yes. Binovo is a remote-first company headquartered in Oiartzun (Gipuzkoa), with part of the team in Catalonia. Most of the project is done remotely, and we come to your company for the kick-off, key training sessions or when hardware work is needed.

Can you support me in Catalan?

Yes. Our consultant in Catalonia provides support in Catalan, as he does with l’Escola del Treball, one of the largest vocational training schools in Catalonia, which has chosen Odoo Community. And Odoo can be configured in Catalan for users who prefer it.

When do I have to comply with Verifactu?

Under the current regulation, 1 January 2027 for companies and 1 July 2027 for everyone else. On 5 October 2026 the tax authorities announced a postponement to October 2028, which has yet to be published in the BOE. Until then, the prudent course is to prepare for 2027.

Is Odoo Verifactu-compliant?

Yes. We have Odoo with Verifactu ready for Community and Enterprise, and a Verifactu API for any other invoicing software.

Odoo Community or Enterprise?

We prefer Community with OCA modules: no per-user licences and full control of the code. If you need features that only Enterprise offers or you prefer Odoo’s hosting, we will gladly implement Enterprise for you.

Can I use AI in Odoo without my data leaving the company?

Yes. The Binovo Apps AI modules support local models with Ollama, as well as Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT or DeepSeek with your own key.

How long does it take to migrate from VMware to Proxmox?

It depends on the number of machines and the storage. After the inventory we give you a phased schedule; critical machines are migrated in agreed windows so your business keeps running.

Shall we talk about your project in Catalonia?

Tell us what you have today (ERP, servers, virtualisation) and what concerns you. We will reply with a concrete proposal.
