ERP & ITscope Connector for IT system houses
Hardware distribution, service contracts, license management — IT system houses need an ERP that talks seamlessly to ITscope, Microsoft 365, and helpdesk.
Pain Points
What companies in this industry struggle with.
- Manufacturer articles are manually copied from ITscope/distributors into the ERP — error-prone, slow, frustrating.
- Price comparison for older quotes takes hours — nobody wants to do it, so it doesn't get done.
- Categorization of new articles costs time — nobody maintains several thousand articles cleanly.
- Service contracts, license renewals, support tickets sit in three different systems — nobody sees the customer's whole picture.

What makes IT-system-house IT special?
IT resellers and system houses aren’t classic wholesalers. They sell hardware, but that’s only half the business — the other half is service contracts, license management, onboarding packages for end customers, ongoing operational responsibility. This has two consequences for the IT architecture: first, the ERP must ingest master data extremely fast — manufacturers bring several thousand new articles per year, and without automated integration every setup chokes. Second, it must handle service contracts first-class — as license, maintenance contract, SLA, recurring pricing.
This is exactly where we hook in with the ITscope Connector for Odoo. ITscope is the largest manufacturer-article database for German IT resellers — over 7 million articles from 300+ distributors, with live prices, datasheets, images. Without a connector, the whole thing lands as a CSV in a spreadsheet someone maintains manually. With the connector, every article lands in Odoo with one click — AI-enriched for category, title, and description, with real-time prices, with price comparison even for older quotes.
Our typical setup
- Odoo ERP as backbone — order processing, license and contract tracking, accounting
- ITscope Connector for master-data integration — the USP for our IT-system-house customers
- Microsoft 365 as master-data source for end-customer environments (identity, mail, files)
- Helpdesk + service contracts linked — tickets, license renewals, billed hours in one system

FAQ
FAQs from this industry.
What is the ITscope Connector and why is it important for IT resellers? +
The ITscope Connector is a Mate iT in-house development that integrates ITscope (manufacturer-article database for IT resellers with over 7 million articles from 300+ distributors) directly into Odoo. Instead of CSV import or manual maintenance, articles land in the ERP with one click — complete with description, images, datasheets, live prices. Mate iT exclusive features: AI-based product categorization, title/description optimization, price comparison even for older quotes. More details: /en/marktplatz/itscope-connector.
Why Odoo and not weclapp for IT system houses? +
Odoo wins for IT system houses for two reasons: first, the customization depth (service-contract logic, license tracking, hardware recycling often need special modules). Second, the open-source model, which philosophically resonates with many IT system houses. weclapp also fits — we've successfully rolled it out for reseller mid-market companies — but Odoo is typically the better fit in this industry.
How are service contracts integrated into the ERP? +
Service contracts are created as their own entity in Odoo — with customer, service, contract term, renewal date, contact person. Linked to the helpdesk: each ticket can be tied to an active contract, billed hours flow automatically into invoicing. Renewals are reminded 60 / 30 / 14 days before expiration — no more forgotten license renewals.
How is the pricing for the ITscope integration? +
The ITscope Connector is offered via Mate iT as a marketplace module — yearly fee plus token-based billing for the AI functions (25,000 tokens included in the package). Concrete prices are project-dependent — we discuss this in the discovery call.
