APPSA catalog of proven Odoo modules
Bista's Odoo module catalog sits inside the platform, so developers start from tested building blocks instead of writing everything from scratch.
NutsNBolts is the platform Bista uses to develop, deploy and manage every client project. When you work with us, your team gets access too. You can follow each ticket, test work on your own Odoo instance, approve releases and see real project status, all backed by what Bista has learned across hundreds of Odoo projects.
Provided by Bista Solutions, an Odoo Gold Partner and 8-time Odoo Best Partner for North America.
Most ERP projects run on email threads, spreadsheets and screenshots. On a Bista project, your team works in the same system as ours, so everyone sees the same tickets, environments and releases.
A live board shows where each requirement, bug and change request is, who owns it and what's overdue.

KPI dashboard NutsNBolts isn't just a project tracker. It's where Bista's Odoo experience is stored and reused: modules, conventions, process and project history. Your project draws on all of it from day one.
APPSBista's Odoo module catalog sits inside the platform, so developers start from tested building blocks instead of writing everything from scratch.
AI DEVELOPERThe AI Developer works inside your project's repository. It follows your existing modules and conventions and targets your exact Odoo version, and a developer reviews every result.
ESTIMATIONEffort suggestions draw on the ticket description and the team's historical patterns. Your PM reviews and adjusts them before they're shared.
PROCESSThe same 13-stage workflow and release process run on every Bista project, so what we learn on one engagement improves the next.
AI CONTEXTBusiness rules, decisions and requirements are captured as project context. AI helpers and new team members build on them instead of starting over.
CONTINUITYTickets, code, discussion, test history and releases live in one place, so onboarding a new developer or PM is fast and your project history stays intact.
You don't just hire a team. You get Bista's delivery system, with everything it has learned.
Every ticket on every Bista project moves through the same stages, so you always know exactly what "in progress" means and where you're needed.
01A personal overview of assigned work, notifications and what's due.
02Browse and switch between projects. The selected project sets the context for every page.
03Bista's catalog of Odoo modules, ready to reuse.
04Odoo module generation for a specific ticket, aware of your repository and Odoo version.
05On-demand Odoo test instances for each ticket or release.
AI assistance sits next to the ticket it relates to, at four stages of delivery. Nobody has to copy project context into a separate chat tool.
ESTIMATIONSuggests effort from the ticket description and the team's historical patterns. Project managers review and adjust.
DEVELOPMENTGenerates module code for the ticket, matching your repository's conventions and Odoo version, and commits it to a branch named after the ticket.
QATurns the ticket into step-by-step acceptance test cases, ready to run on the Epic test instance.
REPORTINGWrites release notes from the actual ticket changes and drafts the weekly status update.
Epic creates a fresh Odoo instance for a ticket or release, so you can validate work in progress on real Odoo instead of screenshots or a shared test database.

NutsNBolts is Bista Solutions' in-house platform for developing, deploying and managing Odoo projects. It brings ticketing (synced with Redmine), source code (synced with GitHub), AI assistance, on-demand Odoo test environments, releases and reporting into one web workspace used by Bista's project managers, developers and QA, and by customer teams collaborating on their projects.
Yes. Customer teams get role-based access to their own project. They can follow and comment on tickets, attach files, test work on Epic instances, review releases and release notes, and receive status updates.
The platform includes Bista's Odoo module catalog, an AI Developer that works inside your repository and follows its conventions, effort estimates informed by past projects, and a 13-stage delivery process used on every project. Project context and history stay in the platform, so they're never lost when team members change.
No. NutsNBolts is built and maintained by Bista's own engineering team and is included with Bista projects. It isn't sold as standalone software.
An Epic is an on-demand Odoo instance created for a ticket or release, with the Odoo version and edition (Enterprise or Community) of your choice. Your team opens it from a direct link to run user acceptance testing on work in progress before it goes to staging or production.
AI suggests effort estimates, generates Odoo module code for a ticket, writes UAT test scripts, and drafts release notes and status summaries. Every output is a draft that a Bista developer, QA engineer or project manager reviews before it's used.
New, Need Details, Assigned, In Progress, Dev Complete, UAT (Dev), QA Passed, Ready for Staging, Deployed on Staging, Accepted, In Production, QA Failed and Closed.
Each ticket is linked to a Git branch, with merge status shown for Dev, Staging and Production. Deployments run through a guided flow with pre-flight validation, and deploy rights are granted separately for each environment. Production releases move from Draft to Pending Approval, Scheduled and Deployed.
No. It connects them. Status changes in NutsNBolts sync back to Redmine, code and branches live in GitHub, and a sync action refreshes both so boards and dashboards reflect the latest state.
We'll walk you through NutsNBolts on a real project: the board, an Epic test instance, a release and the KPI dashboard.
