Information lives in too many places
Sales in spreadsheets, stock in one tool, accounts in another. Nobody trusts a single number, and month-end means reconciling by hand.
Odoo ERP · Implementation
Odoo implementation that starts with how your business actually runs
We map your processes first, configure Odoo to fit them, write code only where configuration genuinely can't, and stay with your team through go-live.
What is Odoo Implementation?
Odoo implementation is the process of deploying Odoo ERP for a specific business: deciding which apps are needed, configuring them to match real workflows, migrating master data and opening balances, building any missing functionality, training users and switching over from the old system. A good implementation changes as little code as possible and as much process clarity as possible.
Most ERP projects that struggle do so for predictable reasons: the software was configured before the processes were understood, every request became custom code, data was migrated in a hurry, and users were trained on screens rather than on their daily work. Odoo is flexible enough to absorb almost any requirement, which is exactly why it needs a disciplined implementation.
Why ERP projects go wrong
Over-customization
Recreating the old system feature-for-feature inside Odoo creates expensive custom modules that make every future upgrade harder.
Dirty or incomplete data
Duplicate customers, products without units of measure, inconsistent SKUs and unreconciled balances break an ERP on day one.
Low user adoption
If the warehouse team finds Odoo slower than their notebook, they will keep using the notebook. Adoption is designed, not hoped for.
Our Odoo Implementation service
Process discovery & fit-gap analysis
Workshops with each department to document how work flows today, then a written fit-gap: what Odoo does out of the box, what needs configuration, what needs Studio, and what genuinely needs custom development.
Solution design
Company and branch structure, chart of accounts and taxes, warehouses and routes, approval rules, pricelists, user roles and access rights, all decided and documented before configuration begins.
Configuration on a staging environment
We build the system in a non-production database so your team can test real scenarios without risk to live data.
Data migration
Cleansing and importing customers, vendors, products, bills of materials, opening stock and opening balances, with reconciliation reports you sign off.
Custom modules & integrations
Only for real gaps: Python modules following Odoo's development conventions, plus integrations with payment gateways, couriers, e-commerce platforms and existing software.
Training, go-live & hypercare
Role-based training using your own data, a written cut-over plan, and a hypercare period after launch where issues are fixed quickly.
Included capabilities
- Multi-company and multi-branch setup
- Multi-currency and multi-warehouse configuration
- Role-based access rights and record rules
- Approval workflows for purchasing and expenses
- Automated actions and scheduled jobs
- Custom reports and dashboards
- Branded quotations, invoices and delivery slips
- Barcode and mobile workflows for warehouses
- Import templates with external IDs for repeatable migration
- Documentation of every configuration decision
What Odoo Implementation changes for your business
One version of the truth
Sales, stock and finance read from the same database, so reports agree with each other.
Less manual re-entry
A confirmed sales order can drive delivery, invoicing and stock movements without being re-typed.
Upgradeable by design
Keeping custom code to a minimum keeps future Odoo version upgrades realistic.
Room to grow
Additional Odoo apps can be added later on the same data foundation instead of buying another tool.
Where it makes the biggest difference
Trading & distribution
Sales, purchasing, multi-warehouse inventory and accounting in one flow, with landed costs and reorder rules.
Manufacturing
Bills of materials, manufacturing orders, work centers, quality checks and component traceability connected to stock and costing.
Services & projects
CRM to quotation to project, with timesheets, milestone invoicing and helpdesk on the same customer record.
Retail & e-commerce
Point of sale, online store and warehouse sharing one product catalogue and one stock figure.
Nine stages, each with a clear output
No stage starts until the previous one has produced something you can review.
Discover
Department workshops, current-state process maps and a list of the reports leadership actually uses.
Fit-gap
Each requirement classified as standard, configuration, Studio or custom code, with effort attached.
Design
Target-state processes, data model decisions and the integration map, agreed in writing.
Configure
Iterative build on staging with short review cycles, so feedback arrives early.
Migrate
Trial imports, reconciliation, corrections, then a final import during cut-over.
Test
User acceptance testing with real end-to-end scenarios, from quotation to payment.
Train
Short role-based sessions plus written guides for each team.
Go live
Cut-over checklist, opening balances, and on-hand support in the first days of operation.
Evolve
Hypercare, then ongoing support and phased roll-out of additional apps.

Security, quality and scale
Access control
Groups, record rules and multi-company rules so people see only what their role requires.
Environments
Separate staging and production databases; changes are tested before they reach live users.
Backups & recovery
Backup schedule and restore procedure defined for your hosting model and tested before go-live.
Scalability
Server sizing, workers and PostgreSQL tuning planned for your user count and transaction volume.
What working with us looks like
Operating since 2015
Digihub has delivered software, web and ERP work for businesses for over a decade.
One team, wider stack
The same company that configures Odoo can build the website, the mobile app or the custom integration around it.
Configuration before code
We'd rather show you a standard Odoo feature that already solves the problem than bill you for a module.
Written decisions
Fit-gap, design and cut-over are documented, so your team keeps the knowledge after the project.
What it costs
Fixed-price packages with the scope written down, paid stage by stage. Your project goes live once it's fully paid.

Odoo Implementation: questions we hear most
How long does an Odoo implementation take?
It depends mainly on the number of apps, the amount and quality of data to migrate, and how much custom development is needed. A single company using a few apps with mostly standard processes is a much shorter project than a multi-company manufacturer with integrations. Our Starter package typically takes 3–5 weeks, Growth 6–10 weeks and Enterprise 10–16 weeks, and we confirm your timeline after the fit-gap analysis, when the scope is actually known.
How much does Odoo implementation cost?
Cost is driven by scope: number of apps and users, data migration effort, integrations and custom modules. Odoo Enterprise subscription fees are paid to Odoo separately from implementation services. Our fixed packages start at $2,400 for 1–3 apps (Starter), with Growth and Enterprise packages for larger rollouts. Enterprise and custom work are confirmed as a fixed quote after discovery and fit-gap, so the price reflects your requirements.
Should we choose Odoo Community or Odoo Enterprise?
Community is open source and free to use, but several apps and features (including full accounting, Studio and some industry apps) are Enterprise-only. Enterprise is a paid subscription. We recommend an edition after reviewing which features your processes actually depend on.
Can you migrate our data from spreadsheets, QuickBooks, Tally or a legacy system?
Yes. Master data such as customers, vendors, products and bills of materials, plus opening stock and opening balances, are migrated in almost every project. Whether to migrate full transaction history is a separate decision we make with you, because it adds effort and is not always useful.
Will customizations break when Odoo releases a new version?
Custom modules must be ported to each new Odoo version, which is why we prefer configuration and Studio over code wherever possible. When custom code is necessary, we keep it in separate modules that follow Odoo's conventions so upgrades stay manageable.
Do you support Odoo after go-live?
Yes. Every implementation package includes a support period after launch (30, 60 or 90 days, depending on the package), and ongoing support and maintenance can continue afterwards for bug fixes, user questions, new features and version upgrades.
