NHS England in partnership with Smart IT, Clinches Coveted 'CFO Tech of the Year' Award, Igniting Excitement with Game-Changing Odoo ERP Transformation


Smart IT is delighted to announce that its acquired Opus VL brand and client NHS Engand were awarded ‘CFO Tech of the Year’ at the 2023 GEN CFO Digital Finance Function Awards.

​The team were recognised for their innovative Odoo NHS Billing System, which supports the procurement of innovative digital products for primary care through NHS England’s Buying Catalogue.

The Odoo NHS Billing System is a powerful time and usage-based billing system that automatically accounts for any changes that happen throughout a contract, processing the highest resolution data in real-time therefore reducing the need for later adjustments. 

This is a remarkable achievement and recognises the incredible dedication and expertise of NHS England and the Smart IT team who have made this success possible. This award is a testament to their commitment and the exceptional work they have done on the Odoo accounts and billing solution project. 

At the core of the project was the goal to streamline and optimise finance processes for buyers and suppliers of GP IT products and services, and with the implementation of its Odoo Billing Solution, the organisation has significantly improved the procurement process. This cutting-edge technology has empowered NHS England’s finance team to enhance efficiency, improve collaboration, and drive innovation within the department. 

Throughout the transformation journey, the teams demonstrated remarkable adaptability and a relentless pursuit of excellence. They embraced the challenge of integrating Odoo ERP seamlessly into existing processes, aligning the technology stack with business objectives resulting in a fully integrated system that has revolutionised the way the organisation manages financial operations, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and real-time insights.

Martin Tudge, Senior Accountant, NHS England comments:

“This award is a testament to our commitment to supporting innovation and continuous improvement. We will continue to work with partners to embrace emerging technologies, deliver value and improve processes for those who provide and use clinical systems in the NHS”.
