Most businesses start with a problem. For Plasticpay, it was the escalating plastic waste crisis.
Founded in 2019, the company’s vision is bold: to transform Indonesia from a waste importer into a "waste transformer" that processes and creates value.
With Odoo, Plasticpay bridges the gap between technology, environmental commitment, and social impact.
What PlasticPay Does
Plasticpay deploy Reverse Vending Machines (RVMs) and dropboxes where the public can deposit used plastic bottles in exchange for reward points.
Once collected, these bottles are sent to collection centers to be sorted, pressed, and processed into high-value recycled materials.
With over 1,000 facilities across Indonesia, Plasticpay needed a robust system to track the entire lifecycle, from machine manufacturing to bottle collection and final production. This is why they chose Odoo.
Operational Challenges Before Odoo
The movement of goods in Plasticpay’s business cycle is complex, spanning RVMs, dropboxes, collection centers, and manufacturing plants. Every bottle follows a long trail that must be accurately recorded without overcomplicating field operations.
Manual Tracking
Previously, parts of their records were kept in Excel, leading to human error and data silos.
System Complexity
They attempted to use a different manufacturing system, but found it too rigid and difficult to customize for their unique business model: a blend of services, asset rentals, and manufacturing.
The Switch to
A System that Grows with the Business
The decision to switch to Odoo was driven by the internal team's positive past experiences with the software, particularly in finance. After mapping their unique business flows, Odoo emerged as the perfect fit.
Plasticpay began their implementation with Accounting to establish a solid financial foundation. Over time, their ecosystem expanded to include:
Accounting
For financial reporting, billing, and cost analysis.
Sales
To record and track transactions.
Rental
To manage RVMs and dropboxes as leased assets.
Inventory
To track the movement of plastic stock and manage machines as company assets.
Manufacturing
For sorting processes and recycled goods production.
The Rental app is a prime example of Odoo’s flexibility. Plasticpay uses it to manage RVM and dropbox contracts, tracking:
✅ Contract periods
✅ Machine location movements
✅ Asset tracking via Serial Numbers
Daily Operations After Odoo
Since implementing Odoo, Plasticpay has seen a significant shift in daily operations:
Enhanced Visibility
Financial reports like Balance Sheets and P&L are now available in real-time with clear historical data.
Accurate Cost & Stock Control
They can now calculate production costs in detail, understand margins for every process, and maintain stock levels based on actual data.
Seamless Collaboration
Data is no longer gatekept by one or two individuals. Relevant teams now have access to manufacturing and inventory reports based on their permissions, making handovers much more efficient.
Organized Asset Management
Scattered RVMs are now properly tracked, complete with depreciation and lifecycle monitoring.
Moving forward, Plasticpay plans to expand into HR and deepen their sorting data, tracking bottles by color, label, and weight across every location.
With a strong digital foundation, Plasticpay is ready to scale its impact, proving that recycling isn't just a mission, it’s a smart business!
