Odoo implementation, from audit to go-live
Independent consultants, so the advice never depends on a licence sale.
- Standard first, custom when it pays
- Upgrades tested on a copy
- Not affiliated with Odoo S.A.
Six parts of an Odoo project
Standard first, custom only when it pays for itself.
Process audit
We map how work really moves before touching a setting.
Configuration
Standard Odoo first, custom code only where standard costs you money.
Data migration
Customers, products, stock and open balances, cleaned and rehearsed.
Custom modules
Written to survive upgrades, with tests and documentation.
Training and go-live
Each department practises its own processes on its own data.
Upgrades and support
Version upgrades tested against your customisations first.
The apps we set up, by department
And the tools they usually replace.
| Department | Odoo apps | Usually replaces |
|---|---|---|
| Finance | Accounting, Invoicing, Expenses | QuickBooks, Tally, spreadsheets |
| Supply chain | Inventory, Purchase, Barcode | Stock sheets, standalone WMS |
| Manufacturing | Manufacturing, PLM, Quality, Maintenance | Paper job cards, legacy MRP |
| Sales and service | CRM, Sales, Helpdesk, Field Service | Separate CRM and ticketing tools |
| People and projects | Employees, Payroll, Project, Timesheets | HR files, time spreadsheets |
Odoo 20 changed the AI question
Released in September 2026. Three changes to plan around.
Agents now change data
They create and update records, and can run on a schedule. Design permissions first.
MCP connects outside AI
External AI clients can reach your database, using server actions as their tools.
AI runs on credits
All AI features now need IAP credits, so usage belongs in your running costs.

Questions we get asked first
Are you an official Odoo partner?
No. ModulexLabs is an independent implementation company and is not affiliated with Odoo S.A. We state this plainly because it shapes our advice: we do not earn from selling you licences, and we will tell you when fewer apps would do the job.
Should we use Odoo Community or Enterprise?
Community is open source and has no per-user licence fee, but several apps and features are Enterprise only. We compare both against your actual process list during the audit, then show you what each option would need.
Odoo Online, Odoo.sh or our own servers?
Odoo Online is the simplest but does not run custom Python modules. Odoo.sh is hosted by Odoo and supports custom modules. Self-hosting gives you the most control and the most responsibility. The right answer usually follows from how much custom code you need and who will run the system.
How long does an Odoo implementation take?
It depends on the number of companies, apps, integrations and the state of your data. We avoid quoting a number before the process audit because any number given earlier would be a guess. The audit produces a phased plan you can price and challenge.
Can you upgrade us from an older Odoo version?
Yes. We test the upgrade on a copy of your database, review each custom module against the new version and rehearse the cutover before touching production.
Can you take over a stalled Odoo project?
Yes. We start with an audit of the existing configuration, custom code and data, then tell you what to keep, fix or remove before any new work begins.
Where does your Odoo project stand? Tell us about it.
New rollout, stalled project or version upgrade, we can start from any of them.
