Our Implementation Methodology

A successful ERP implementation is as much about process and people as it is about technology. We follow a structured, collaborative approach designed to minimise disruption to your business and maximise adoption by your team.

Phase 1 — Discovery and Scoping

We start by understanding your business deeply before touching any configuration. This phase includes:

Process mapping — we document your current workflows: how orders are placed, how stock moves, how invoices are raised and reconciled.
Gap analysis — we identify where standard Odoo fits your process and where customisation or workarounds are needed.
Module selection — we recommend the specific Odoo modules that cover your requirements without unnecessary complexity.
Project plan — a detailed timeline with milestones, responsibilities, and delivery dates.

Phase 2 — Configuration and Customisation

With a clear scope, our team configures Odoo:

Chart of accounts, tax rules, currencies, and company settings
Product categories, units of measure, and pricelists
Sales and purchase workflows, approval rules, and document templates
Inventory locations, warehouses, and picking strategies
Any custom module development required for non-standard workflows

Phase 3 — Data Migration

We extract your historical data, clean and transform it, and load it into the configured Odoo environment:

Customer and vendor master data
Product catalogue with variants, prices, and stock levels
Open invoices, purchase orders, and inventory balances
Historical transactions (scope determined by business need)

We validate migrated data thoroughly before moving to testing.

Phase 4 — User Acceptance Testing

Your team tests the configured system against real business scenarios. We run guided UAT sessions, track issues, and resolve them before go-live.

Phase 5 — Training

We run role-based training sessions for every user group — warehouse staff, sales team, accountants, managers. Sessions are practical, using your own data and configured workflows.

Phase 6 — Go-Live and Hypercare

We support the go-live cutover and remain closely available for the first weeks of live operation — the “hypercare” period — to handle questions, fix edge-case issues, and ensure confidence builds across the team.

Phase 7 — Ongoing Support

After hypercare, we transition to a standard support arrangement with defined response times. As your business evolves, we add modules, refine configurations, and handle Odoo version upgrades.
