01 · Multi-company & international

An international organisation.
A single reading of transactions.

A transaction simultaneously moves a material, a value, a document and a responsibility. BBI makes it possible to follow these dimensions across several companies and territories.

03 · Architecture

A single system.
Three intelligences.

BBI does not pile up software. It organises a shared architecture where operations, understanding and anticipation work together.

01 / OPERATE

Aristote

The workshop, under control.

The operational heart of your house. Aristote structures material, gestures and responsibilities to turn the workshop into a reliable, traceable, manageable system.

  • ERP and multi-company
  • Production, stock and purchasing
  • Metals, stones and weight accounts
  • Quality, sales and distribution
In detail
What Aristote eliminates
  • Weights scattered across spreadsheets and habits
  • Incomplete or unmaintainable bills of materials
  • Gaps between theoretical stock and real material
  • Traceability reconstructed after the fact
What Aristote masters
  • Metals tracked to the gram and by fineness
  • Multi-level BOMs: metals, components, stones, cases
  • Lots, serial numbers, theoretical and real weights
  • Metrology, workshop losses, controls and validations
  • Manufacturing orders and step tracking
  • Traceability from origin to finished product
Results for the house
Material valued with precisionA smoother, more accountable workshopLosses visible, explained and reducedA reliable industrial base

“Production no longer rests on the memory of a few people. It becomes a transmissible system.”

02 / UNDERSTAND

Ptolémée

Decisions, proven.

Ptolémée turns operational data into an immediate reading of reality. Margins, stock, boutiques and flows become understandable in the same place, at the same moment.

  • Yields and gaps
  • Margins and valuations
  • Lead times and performance
  • Alerts and dashboards
In detail
What Ptolémée reveals
  • The real margin behind the displayed price
  • The impact of the gold price on stock and sales
  • Performance gaps between boutiques
  • Slowdowns and anomalies in the flows
What Ptolémée connects
  • Margin correlated with the gold price
  • Sales by boutique, channel, collection or reference
  • Stock, rotation, tied-up capital and needs
  • Value flows between companies, workshops and points of sale
  • Real-time indicators and executive views
  • A map of the relations between the data
Results for the house
A shared vision for every teamDecisions based on the same figuresRisks and opportunities immediately readableFaster, calmer management

“Ptolémée does not just show figures. It shows the relations that explain the result.”

03 / ANTICIPATE

Darwin

Ahead of the market.

Darwin adds predictive capability to the system. It analyses history, prices, sales rhythms and anomalies to help the company act before the need becomes urgent.

  • Anomaly detection
  • Material and workload forecasts
  • Scenarios and recommendations
  • Artificial-intelligence agents
In detail
What Darwin anticipates
  • Material or component shortages
  • Purchases made too late or oversized
  • Demand variations that are hard to read
  • Anomalies invisible among thousands of operations
What Darwin forecasts
  • Purchase forecasts for metals, stones and components
  • Demand anticipation by product or boutique
  • Anomaly detection and weak signals
  • Scenarios accounting for prices and seasonality
  • Contextualised alerts and recommendations
  • Learning from the company’s real behaviour
Results for the house
Purchases better synchronised with demandFewer shortages and less overstockBetter protection of marginsDecisions taken earlier

“AI is not a decorative layer. It becomes useful when it knows the material, the flows and the constraints of the trade.”

Aristote organises. Ptolémée understands. Darwin anticipates.

04 · Continuity

Odoo connects the functions.
BBI specialises the trade.

odoo
Integrated, open-source suite of applications

Each tool keeps its function. BBI links events, documents, materials and responsibilities to produce a shared reading. Odoo modules form the operational foundation. BBI adds the data models, business rules, connectors and interfaces specific to jewellery.

Architecture principle: keep the standard modules whenever they meet the need, then add only the specialised components required: weight accounts, metal rates, stone traceability, product hierarchy, media FTP, automations, BI and AI.
Connection & integration

Connect rather than replace.

BBI can be the central system, a trade layer added to an existing Odoo, or the point of continuity between your specialised tools.

Odoo

Your Odoo already exists

We analyse the modules, data and developments already in place, then add the jewellery specialisation without starting from scratch.

  • Audit of flows and data models
  • BBI modules and targeted automations
  • Progressive migration and reversibility
External 3D studio

Your 3D chain is already equipped

A visualisation tool can stay in place. BBI exchanges references, variants, materials, models, renders and statuses via files or API.

  • 3DM, STL, GLB and derived media
  • Configurators and web publishing
  • Synchronisation with the product master data
iJewel is cited as an example of a connectable 3D environment; no partnership is claimed.
API · FTP · Hardware

The system meets the physical world

External files, instruments, machines and services become sources of verifiable events within the same system.

  • Monitored FTP and automatic filing
  • Supplier, carrier and store APIs
  • Scales, measurement, control and production

Media, FTP and automation

The system monitors authorised sources, recognises the reference, checks the file, creates derivatives and publishes media to the right products and the right channels.

01
Acquisition

FTP, SFTP, API, Drive, workshop folders, PLM or suppliers.

Automatic
02
Normalisation

Naming, formats, resolution, colour profiles, units and metadata.

Controlled
03
Matching

Parent group, parent product, variant, SKU, lot and version.

Traceable
04
Enrichment

Cropping, compression, background, views, attributes and multilingual text.

AI-assisted
05
Validation

Quality, rights, product consistency, compliance and approval.

Human
06
Publishing

Odoo, e-commerce, B2B, catalogues, marketplaces and CDN.

Multichannel
The essential rule: the file name is not the only evidence. The system matches the SKU, metadata, parent product, variant, lot and validation status before anything is published.
05 · Approach, expertise & references

A system is more than a piece of software.

Transforming a house requires reading its organisation, materials, tools, teams and markets simultaneously.

Organisation

Processes, responsibilities, governance, companies and decision rules.

Technology

Odoo, data, automations, Business Intelligence and artificial intelligence.

Material

Metals, stones, alloys, components, sourcing and traceability.

Workshop

Machines, instruments, production, quality, maintenance and control.

People

Training, adoption, transmission of know-how and support.

Market

Customers, distribution, e-commerce and international transactions.

BBI expertise

Systems architect.
Present across the whole value chain.

BBI brings together skills drawn from business, industry and technology. Our experience spans product creation, production, finance, customs, distribution, imagery, maintenance, data and digital infrastructure.

This vision was born in a multi-company, cross-generational environment, where trade experience meets engineering, development and artificial intelligence.
We do not build software around an organisation. We build an architecture able to connect its trades, its tools, its teams and its history.

The 12 BBI fields of expertisehover or tap a card to see the trades and a concrete case

Experience becomes a transmissible system

BBI was born of the meeting between several generations, several trades and several ways of understanding a company.

The experience of the elders brings knowledge of the product, the material, the client and the realities of the floor. The newer generations bring engineering, data, development and artificial intelligence.

Our role is to turn that experience into methods, data and tools, so that knowledge does not disappear with people but keeps circulating, enriching itself and moving the company forward.

1
Understand before building

We observe the trades, the gestures, the constraints and the responsibilities before drawing the architecture.

2
Connect the whole company

Product, production, finance, customs, sales, imagery and technology must belong to the same system.

3
Let the generations speak to each other

Accumulated experience becomes structured knowledge, transmissible and enriched by new tools.

4
Secure continuity

Data, materials, documents, access rights and decisions must remain protected, traceable and understandable.

5
Build an evolving architecture

Odoo is the application foundation. Around it, BBI develops the trades, the connections and the infrastructure the company actually needs.

odooOdoo Learning Partner

Odoo is our open application foundation. BBI adds the business architecture, the development, the integration, the data and the infrastructure needed to build a complete enterprise system.

Our expertise does not start with the software: it starts with the product, the teams, the materials and the decisions that keep a company alive.

Technologies, standards & impact

Operate. Measure. Prove. Contribute.

BBI clearly distinguishes the role of each reference: a software foundation, a measuring instrument, a responsible-practices standard or an impact framework. This precision strengthens trust and avoids confusing technology, partnership and certification.

01 · OdooSoftware foundation

Operate within an integrated architecture.

Odoo provides an open-source suite of applications covering CRM, sales, accounting, inventory, manufacturing and e-commerce. BBI adapts this foundation to the realities of jewellery and multi-company transactions.

02 · Mettler ToledoPrecision measurement

Connect physical measurement to the system.

Mettler Toledo jewellery balances are designed for weighing gold and carats. BBI studies how measurements, operations and weight accounts can be connected, to reconcile the physical with the theoretical.

  • Weighing of gold, materials and stones
  • Traceability of measurements
  • Integration studied per equipment
See the official documentation
03 · RJC COP 2024Standard

Structure responsibility, from mine to market.

The Responsible Jewellery Council’s Code of Practices is a common standard for ethical, social, environmental and human-rights practices across the jewellery value chain.

  • Responsible sourcing and due diligence
  • Labour, health, safety and environment
  • Traceability, declarations and business practices
Discover the Code of Practices
04 · Global goalsImpact framework

Connect performance to sustainable development.

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals are an integrated framework adopted by the United Nations. BBI focuses its contribution on education, decent work, innovation, responsible production and partnerships.

SDG 4 · EducationSDG 8 · Decent workSDG 9 · InnovationSDG 12 · Responsible productionSDG 17 · Partnerships
Explore the 17 goals

Qualification of relations: Odoo is presented as a technological foundation and according to BBI’s official status; Mettler Toledo as a reference measurement player and technology; the RJC as a standard; the SDGs as an alignment framework. Their presence does not, in itself, constitute a certification, an endorsement or an institutional partnership.

06 · Research & development

The field becomes our laboratory.

We are not presenting a frozen system. We are developing an architecture meant to progress with the houses, the equipment and the standards of the trade.

Augmented traceability

Digital passports, transformation history and evidence of circulation.

In experimentation

Connected weighing

Reconciliation between precision balances, operations, lots and weight accounts, depending on the equipment and interfaces available.

Pilot

Trade AI agents

Document assistance, anomaly analysis and contextual recommendations.

Research

Material forecasting

Anticipating requirements, stock tensions and order-related impacts.

07 · Security & governance

Useful intelligence must remain under control.

Data must be accessible to the right person, at the right time, with a clearly defined level of authorisation.

01
AccessRoles, companies, functions and confidentiality levels.
02
TraceabilityOrigin, author, modification, justification and history.

08 · Ecosystem

Bringing together the best players.
Making their expertise accessible.

Our ambition is to put first-rate technologies, methods and expertise within reach of houses that do not have the resources of a large group.

Principle: each player keeps its identity and its independence. The platform organises cooperation, proof and the continuity of transactions.
