About Odoo
Odoo is an integrated suite of business applications that spans a wide range of functionalities, from CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and sales to accounting, inventory management, manufacturing, and beyond. Its modular nature allows businesses to deploy the applications they need and scale up as their requirements grow. However, while Odoo’s out-of-the-box features are robust, many businesses have unique processes and workflows that require tailored solutions.
Odoo Implementation
Implementing odoo ERP with a certified partner like Adatasol leads to a much smoother, faster, and more successful rollout — if you approach it strategically. Here's a guide to the best way to implement Odoo using a partner, broken down into practical phases:
Adatasol uses odoo's best-in-class implementation methodology. Thru THOUSANDS of implementations Odoo has developed implementation processes that are as clear and defined as possible.
On large projects the ROI Analysis is sold before the customer commits to the whole project and budget. Depending on the size of the project it can take anywhere from 5 to 80 days to complete. On small projects (<4 months) the ROI analysis is not a distinct phase, but performed during the Kick-Off phase5 . The ROI analysis allows the customers to: • Get a precise plan and budget. • Assess the Return on Investment (ROI): Cost/Benefit analysis. • Review their specifications according to the software. • Resolve any doubts about the project's feasibilityassess the Project Leader and their team’s capabilities.
The goal is to generate buy-in within our customer’s company, manage their expectations, come to an agreement with our methodology and, above all, build a solid plan!
No matter the level of complexity, the project must constantly move forward. Keeping a steady pace is a key success factor and the best way to maintain a high level of involvement from the customer, is to keep the SPoC engaged with everything. After the Kick-Off phase, the designed solution has been demonstrated to key users. It is now time to make it come to life! Within each phase, the project team works in short cycles in order to deliver functionalities every week. The solution is shaped progressively throughout the phase and validated by the Project Leader and the SPoC. The configuration, data import, and specific development, is handled in parallel by the Project Leader and the Developer, if required.
When it’s time to turn on the switch you may be faced with unexpected issues. Typically this is due to one or both of the following: • The database is not fully tested: do your best to ensure the key users have fully tested all business flows. • The users are not well trained: if the training was completed months ago, they might have forgotten what they learned. If they did not practice enough during the training they might have missed some critical steps.
A month after the initial deployment, the Project Leader reviews the list of the remaining developments that were not launched during Phase 1 (i.e. development scheduled at a subsequent phase: you can operate the business without it, but it’s not ideal). After some time, and with the key users’ feedback, the need for some developments will usually change as the client learns how they will use the system and find that it works just fine as is (typically we notice that 50% of developments previously requested are no longer necessary and new developments are requested).
