Our Odoo ERP Implementation Process
Every Odoo implementation we run follows the same structured process — built to avoid the common failure points we see when businesses try to implement Odoo without a partner or with a partner who does not know their industry.
We document your current workflows, pain points, data sources, and must-have requirements before any configuration begins. This prevents scope creep and ensures the system is built for how you actually operate.
We map your chart of accounts, user roles, approval workflows, and module selection to your business structure. We tell you which Odoo modules you need — and which ones to skip.
We migrate your existing data — customers, vendors, products, opening balances, and history — cleanly into Odoo. No manual re-entry, no lost history.
We configure Odoo to match your workflows. Where standard Odoo does not quite fit, we handle custom development in-house as an Odoo Ready Partner.
We run your real business scenarios through the system before go-live. If something does not work the way you need, we fix it before your team touches it.
We train your team in person or remotely on every module they will use. Your staff starts confident, not confused.
We are available during and immediately after go-live to handle any issues in real time. You are not on your own the day you switch.
We offer monthly support packages so you always have access to Odoo expertise as your business grows and your needs change.

Odoo is an open-source enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform that combines accounting, CRM, inventory, manufacturing, HR, project management, and e-commerce in a single connected system.

Certum Solutions implements and customizes Odoo for small and mid-sized businesses in North Carolina and nationwide.

Odoo implementation cost varies based on the number of modules, data migration complexity, custom development requirements, and user count.
