We help you to avoid common mistakes associated with Odoo ERP implementation so that you can implement software successfully and achieve desired results like higher productivity, efficiency, etc within a short span of time.
Implementation Process
ERP implementation is a complex process and can be done in phases. The first phase is to set up the initial environment, which includes creating user accounts and assigning roles, adding users to groups (for example, accounting), configuring security settings, setting up email accounts for users, installing software on computers and network devices (for example firewalls), etc. The second phase involves installing the ERP software itself onto your servers or computers through remote access tools like Remote Desktop Connection (RDC).
Initial step of implementation
Once you have installed your new system successfully, you need to set up all aspects of its operation including: configuration of interfaces with third party systems; creation/configuration of data structures such as tables; building reports from these tables using query editors; defining business rules by which transactions will be processed automatically; testing all functionality within this new system before going live with it into production mode where all transactions are processed through this system rather than manually on paper ledgers or spreadsheets etc.
Benefits of a structured implementation methodology
It is more efficient, as it allows you to focus on what's important while leaving behind unnecessary tasks like creating custom reports or modifying existing processes (which may not even be possible).
The most importantly: It's adaptable! When changes happen in your industry or organization, this type of system will be able to adjust accordingly without causing any major problems for you or your team members.

Our Odoo ERP Implementation Process
A structured implementation methodology:
Agile
We use agile methodology to develop software. Agile is an iterative approach to software development, in which we work in short cycles called sprints. Each sprint has a goal and a list of deliverables, and teams meet at the end of each sprint to review what they've accomplished. This process allows us to respond quickly to changing requirements and rapidly identify problems.
Waterfall
Waterfall methodology is a software development process in which the project passes through distinct stages, each of which must be approved before moving to the next stage. Waterfall methodology is most often used when developing large, complex systems.
