The ToDo team has been specializing in Odoo implementation since 2022. During this time, we have managed to become Odoo Gold Partners and implement more than 35 projects: in retail, logistics, service, and more. With each new client, we are more and more convinced of the importance of each stage of implementation and the need to follow a clearly defined plan. If you are looking at Odoo, but are not sure about the choice yet, perhaps this material will bring more clarity to the overall understanding of the system's capabilities.
Odoo: implementation stages and benefits
In the case of Odoo, implementation is a complex process of business automation. We, as integrators, analyze your processes, customize the system, transfer data, train the team, and provide technical support. During the project research, we determine the set of modules that is really needed. We also have expertise in customizing the system, which means we can and do customize it to meet the individual needs of the business.
In general, Odoo combines modules that automate the work of all departments of a company: CRM, accounting, logistics, production, procurement, project management, HR, marketing, finance, and analytics. The whole set is available in a single interface with support for the Ukrainian language and flexible integrations. Let us tell you a little more about each of the stages of Odoo implementation.
Odoo implementation stages
- Pre-project review of business processes
Business analysts collect data on the number of employees, company structure, and production volumes. They also take into account the level of automation of existing processes and identify unique business processes. Next, we model the processes based on Odoo functionality. We complete this stage by identifying functional gaps and potential risks. Simply put, we think about what the standard set of this ERP system lacks to cover all business needs and think about how to improve it. - Planning
At this stage, a list of requirements for the system is formed and areas of automation are identified. And only after that, a technical task and an implementation plan are drawn up. - Improving the system
Taking into account the previous stages, ToDo specialists adapt the system to the company's needs, design key modules, and develop additional functionality if necessary. - Installation and testing
One of the most important stages of Odoo implementation is testing the system on real data and business processes. - Training
To ensure that all future users of the system can effectively use Odoo in their daily work, the ToDo team provides training. All employees receive training and instructions. - Launch and support
The final stage of Odoo implementation is putting the ERP into operation, finalizing certain aspects if necessary. The ToDo team provides ongoing technical support to customers and provides an opportunity to develop and scale the system in parallel with the emergence of new company requests.
Benefits of implementing Odoo
What makes Odoo stand out among other business automation systems?
First, its main feature and significant advantage is modularity and open source. Therefore, Odoo is able to adapt to the specifics of the company and scale in sync with the business.
Another important advantage is system complexity - one solution for different business needs instead of disparate programs and services. This reduces the number of errors and increases the speed of decision-making.
In addition, it should be noted Odoo's intuitive interface and modern UX. The project team is constantly updating the system to ensure that users experience as few difficulties as possible in the early stages of use. This avoids lengthy training and adaptation.
Availability of a free basic version and transparent pricing for additional modules make Odoo affordable even for small companies. Thanks to an active community and a wide ecosystem, users get access to experience and solutions from all over the world.
