Implementation

Odoo built on how your business actually runs

Most ERP projects fail on the structure underneath, not on the software. We work out how your business really operates, design the data model to match, and implement it in phases you can stop between.

Phase 2 live · parallel run day 6

Configuration

Days

not months. Speed is ours; pace is yours.

The problem

It's never
the software

Odoo can run almost any business. What it cannot do is guess how yours works.

01

Processes get documented as they should be, not as they are

The version in the specification is the tidy one. The real one has the exception nobody wrote down, the step that exists because a customer once complained, and the spreadsheet that quietly holds it all together.

02

Data structures get borrowed

A standard template is applied, your business is bent to fit it, and two years later nobody can produce the report the owner actually wants — because the data was never shaped to answer that question.

03

Everything goes live at once

The whole company switches on a Monday, nobody is trained on the version that shipped, and the project is judged a failure in its first fortnight.

Process by process.
Trigger, owner, information, failure.

Step one

We start by watching how you work

Before anything is configured, we go through your operation process by process: what triggers each one, who touches it, what information moves, where it stalls, and what happens when something goes wrong.

We are specifically looking for the parts that never make it into a specification — the manual workaround, the undocumented approval, the exception that turns out to be 30% of your volume.

What you get

A written map of your processes as they actually run, in your own terms. You can correct it before a single thing is built on it, and it is yours to keep whichever direction you go.

The foundation

The part nobody sees, and everything depends on

Every question you will ever ask your ERP is answered by the way its data is structured. Get it right and reporting is trivial. Get it wrong and no amount of customisation will fix it later.

We design the model before we build: the entities your business genuinely has, the relationships between them, your chart of accounts, product and partner structures, warehouse and location logic, and consistent naming that still makes sense to a new employee in three years.

Where Odoo's standard model already fits, we use it. Custom structures are a decision with a cost, and we tell you which of them your business really needs and which are habits carried over from your old system.

res.partner → sale.order → account.move

Customerres.partner
Sales ordersale.order
Order linesale.order.line
Customer invoiceaccount.move

Where your quote-to-invoice chain is decided: pricelists, order types, and the single field that later makes margin reporting possible.

stock.warehouse → stock.location → stock.quant

Warehousestock.warehouse
Location logicstock.location
Product variantproduct.product
On-hand quantitystock.quant

Naming and depth of locations decided here is what makes a stock count either a morning or a fortnight.

account.account → account.move.line → analytic

Chart of accountsaccount.account
Journal entryaccount.move
Entry lineaccount.move.line
Analytic distributionaccount.analytic.line

The analytic dimensions agreed at this stage are the ones the owner's report is built from two years later.

Simplified. Your model is drawn against your own entities before configuration starts.

Before we build

We tell you what we find

Our AI agents analyse your data and your processes together and report what is actually there — before implementation starts, because moving a broken process into a new system produces a faster broken process.

Nothing is changed without your decision. We show you what we found and what it would cost to fix; you choose what carries over.

How we build

One phase
at a time

Configuration takes us days rather than months, and that is what makes this affordable.

Speed is ours; pace is yours.

01

Scope and acceptance agreed first

+

Each phase has a defined scope and acceptance criteria written down before work begins, so "finished" means the same thing to both of us.

02

Your old system keeps running

+

We run in parallel until the new phase is proven, so there is never a day when your business depends on something untested.

03

A decision point at the end of each phase

+

You choose whether to start the next one. Nothing is contracted as a single lump you cannot get out of.

04

Access designed, not defaulted

+

Permissions, record rules and approval limits are set up deliberately, so people see what they need and nothing else.

05

Reversible

+

Backups and rollback capability at every phase boundary, tested rather than assumed.

06

Your people trained on what actually shipped

+

Phase by phase, while the amount to learn is still small. Training happens against the configuration that went live, not a demo database.

Support

We keep
watching

Going live is where most partners stop paying attention. It is where the expensive problems start.

Response timesto be defined
Support scopeto be defined

Error detection

Our monitoring agent watches for failed scheduled jobs, integration failures, permission errors and performance degradation — and raises them to a named person on our team.

Data loss detection

Records that should exist and do not, relations that have broken, totals that no longer reconcile, imports that silently dropped rows. Found by checking, not by waiting for someone to notice.

A person who knows your system

Questions go to the people who built it, not to a queue.

See it before you commission it

Tell us how your business runs. We'll show you it working in Odoo — with your own data, masked, or with realistic data built for your industry — before anything is contracted.
