At 10:30 on Saturday, 26 September 2026, at Odoo Experience 2026 in Brussels Expo, Belgium, the Partner Awards ceremony named Enersys Co., Ltd. the winner of Best Starter APAC. Supaket Wongkampoo, CEO of Enersys, walked up to receive the trophy in person, in front of a main auditorium full of partners and Odoo staff.
This year's Odoo Experience ran from 24 to 26 September, drew more than 45,000 attendees from over 150 countries, and was the launch stage for Odoo 20. Supaket was there from the first day to the awards ceremony. Receiving an award on that stage as a partner from Thailand is a moment our team will remember for a long time.

The Enersys trophy was also the first image in the post Odoo used to announce the winners on its official page.
How Odoo selected the 2026 nominees
Odoo’s announcement of the Odoo Awards 2026 nominees lists Enersys in the Best Starter APAC category and identifies three areas used to select this year’s nominees.
- Customer retention: whether customers remain within the Odoo ecosystem.
- New Odoo Enterprise user growth: growth in the number of new Enterprise users associated with the partner.
- Number of experts and team experience: progress in current Odoo certifications across the partner team.
The one we are proudest of is the first. An ERP project does not end on go-live day. Customers who stay on Odoo are still closing their books, producing reports and adjusting their processes on the system we built with them, month after month.
A raised hand in the AMA with Odoo's founder
On 25 September, the day before the ceremony, Supaket met and took a photo with Fabien Pinckaers, founder and CEO of Odoo, and that afternoon joined Fabien's AMA (Ask Me Anything) session.
We had expected questions to go through a web form, but the room took questions by show of hands. Supaket raised a hand and asked how Odoo sees Southeast Asia and Thailand. Fabien did not catch the question the first time, so Supaket asked it again in front of the whole room.
Fabien did not answer with a slide. Instead, the Odoo system the company runs on went up on the big screen, showing sales by country, live. Sales were spread across dozens of countries, and Fabien said Odoo does not pick any one country to prioritize.
The answer was clearer than we expected. How far Odoo grows in each country depends mainly on the partners in that country. For Thailand, that job sits with Thai partners, Enersys included.
That one question opened another door. After the session, the Odoo team that looks after partners in Southeast Asia reached out to talk about the Thai market, and we sat down together after the awards ceremony the next day.
Meeting partners from around the world, and bringing ideas home
Three full days at the event meant conversations with partners and Odoo staff from many countries: how each team implements for customers, how they support customers after go-live, and how they prepare their teams for a new version. We came back with a notebook of things to adjust in how we work with customers in Thailand.
Odoo 20, launched at the event, is the other thing we are now digging into, so we can tell customers which new capabilities fit their business today and which are worth waiting for.
Thank you to everyone behind this award
We thank every customer who trusted Enersys to implement Odoo, everyone on our team who built their Odoo expertise and experience on customer projects, and the Odoo team we have worked with throughout the year.
On the evening of the awards, Supaket walked around the Grand-Place and rubbed the statue of Everard 't Serclaes, which local belief says means you will return to Brussels. We intend to be back at Odoo Experience next year, with more stories from Thai customers.
