What Noviat does

Noviat is a Belgian open-source ERP specialist founded in 2009 in Ganshoren (with its main office in Leuven) by IT specialists Luc de Meyer and Marc Pirenne, operating as an official Odoo partner since inception. The company delivers turnkey Odoo-based ERP implementations to two distinct verticals: private-sector SMEs and enterprises (spanning manufacturing, construction, and IT services) and Belgian public-sector municipalities and provinces through its proprietary ARP (Administration Resource Planning) product. Named government customers include the City of Liège, the municipalities of Ixelles, Schaerbeek, and Watermael-Boitsfort, and the Province of Hainaut, with private-sector references including Spantech, Valcke Prefab, AIS, GIMI, LPW, and UCM. The Belgian-only geographic scope (Flanders, Brussels, Wallonia) and a stated headcount of 1–10 indicate a small, specialist services firm.

The company's technology stack centers on the open-source Odoo platform, augmented by proprietary modules developed by Noviat and published on the Odoo Apps Store and GitHub: EBICS (banking communication standard for automated payment orders and bank-statement retrieval), CODA (Belgian bank-statement format with automatic reconciliation), an Image Paint widget for workplace-accident annotation, a Cashpooling module for treasury management, and Isabel Connect — a branded integration bridging Odoo with the Belgian Isabel 6 banking platform. Noviat contributed to the foundations of Odoo's official Accounting module and remains an active participant in the Odoo Community Ecosystem (OCA).

The business model combines professional services (ERP/ARP implementation, customization, and deployment under an enterprise field-sales motion with dedicated project managers) with recurring subscription revenue from Isabel Connect (€1,000/year per database) and one-time module sales via the Odoo Apps Store. Distribution occurs through direct enterprise sales, the Odoo Apps Store marketplace, and direct website sales for Isabel Connect. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; with a stated headcount of 1–10, a bootstrapped founder-led ownership structure, and no external funding or M&A activity disclosed, Noviat operates as a niche specialist in Belgian Odoo implementation and Belgian-banking-integration modules, with a moat grounded in domain expertise, ecosystem incumbency, and switching costs from embedded ERP deployments.
