The brief

An Odoo that needed modernizing and stabilizing.

They already had Odoo. It was behind on versions and carrying operational issues that had not been resolved.

Falling behind on versions has a cost of its own. Odoo supports the current release and the two before it, so the further back you sit, the more the eventual jump costs and the longer you go without fixes.

What we did

Upgraded, cleared the issues, and stayed on.

We upgraded their Odoo to a current version, resolved the outstanding issues, and improved the system where the process needed it.

We are still on it, making changes as their needs change.

Why upgrades get expensive

Configuration survives an upgrade. Custom code gets re-billed.

We configure what Odoo already does before we write code. Configuration carries forward when you move to the next version. Custom code gets reviewed and often rewritten, so every module is a bill you pay again at every upgrade.

Most of what people are told needs custom development is already in Odoo. Keeping it native is what keeps the next upgrade cheap.

Rescue work leads somewhere.

Both of the clients who came to us with an Odoo that was already in place and not working ended up in an ongoing support relationship. Taking over someone else's half-finished build is a service line in its own right, not a favour we do at the start of a project.
