You have decided to set up Odoo in your company, all the departments of the company agree on the choice of the product, now all you have to do is find the best integrator to support you in this integration project of the Odoo software.
Now is the time to ask yourself what are the criteria for choosing the integrator that will help you make the implementation of this software a success.
What are the roles of an Odoo integrator?
Needs analysis
Every company operates with its own processes, shaped by its industry, size, and organizational culture. The integrator collaborates with various stakeholders to identify operational challenges that need to be addressed, such as sales management, invoicing, production, logistics, and accounting. With expertise in Odoo, they can quickly connect the expressed requirements with the available solutions within the ERP.
Before considering custom developments, the integrator evaluates the existing solutions within the ERP. They review the standard modules available and identify those that meet the client's needs. This approach helps minimize costs and ensures better long-term system maintainability.
The integrator categorizes requests into:
- Processes that can be handled using Odoo’s standard features, requiring only proper configuration.
- Requirements that go beyond the standard and necessitate custom development in the form of additional modules or integration with other software.
ERP implementation and configuration according to standards
After the analysis, the integrator proceeds with the installation and configuration of Odoo, following industry best practices and standards. This includes setting up the selected modules to align with the company's business processes, as well as adjusting key parameters such as user management, roles, and workflows.
This approach ensures that the system is tailored to the specific modules chosen for the company, rather than relying on generic configurations.
Customization with built-in tools (Odoo studio)
The integrator uses Odoo Studio to tailor the ERP to the company’s needs without requiring complex development. This allows them to modify screens, fields, and workflows to better meet the organization’s requirements. By leveraging these built-in tools, the integrator ensures flexibility while maintaining system stability and long-term maintainability.
Advantages of Odoo Studio:
- Custom view design: Modify forms, lists, Kanban boards, calendars, and charts.
- Automation: Create triggers for actions such as sending emails or SMS.
- Flexibility and simplicity: A user-friendly interface enabling customization without advanced technical skills.
Targeted custom developments
When standard features and customization options are not enough, the integrator develops tailored solutions. This may involve creating custom modules, integrating third-party applications, or automating complex processes. These developments aim to extend Odoo’s capabilities to meet the company's unique requirements, ensuring a solution that fits seamlessly.
User training and support
The success of an ERP implementation largely depends on user adoption. The integrator plays a key role by providing training tailored to different user profiles, making it easier for them to navigate the system. Additionally, they offer ongoing support to answer questions, resolve potential issues, and assist the company as its needs evolve. This ensures effective use of Odoo and contributes to the long-term success of the project.
By following these steps, the Odoo integrator guarantees a successful implementation aligned with the company’s strategic goals while fostering continuous improvement of business processes.
When should you work with an Odoo integrator?
Hiring an Odoo integrator becomes essential when technical expertise is needed to maximize Odoo’s benefits and meet your company’s specific requirements.
Advanced customization
If your company has unique needs that Odoo’s standard features do not cover, an integrator can customize the ERP. This may involve developing custom modules, adjusting workflows, or integrating additional features to align perfectly with your organization’s processes.
Full ERP implementation (from scratch)
When a company decides to deploy an ERP like Odoo from scratch, an Odoo integrator is essential. They manage the platform installation, configure the initial modules based on business-specific needs, and adapt the ERP to ensure it fits your company seamlessly. The integrator also ensures accurate data migration, proper user setup, access rights configuration, and well-structured business processes.
Replacing or upgrading an existing system
If your company is already using an ERP but it no longer meets your current goals, is outdated, or simply lacks essential features, migrating to Odoo may be a smart choice. In this case, an Odoo integrator helps facilitate the transition, whether to modernize an aging system or enhance an ERP that no longer meets business needs effectively.
The integrator is responsible for migrating data from the existing system to Odoo, ensuring maximum compatibility and preventing any data loss. This transition also allows for the integration of more advanced features, such as process automation, customized workflows, and improved reporting. The goal is to modernize business operations, reduce costs, simplify management, and provide an evolving ERP that can easily adapt to future needs.
Even if your current ERP is not outdated, working with an Odoo integrator could be the key to optimizing your processes and making your system more efficient and scalable as your business grows.
The difference between an integrator and a software publisher
The publisher designs the software, the integrator adapts it
The ERP publisher is the creator of the software. They develop, maintain, and provide general updates for all their clients. However, they do not handle adapting the software to the specific processes of each business.
The integrator, on the other hand, configures and customizes the ERP to meet the company’s needs. They personalize the tool by adding extra modules, adjusting settings, and connecting the ERP to other systems.
The publisher provides generic support, the integrator offers personalized follow-up
The technical support provided by a publisher typically addresses global technical issues and fixes that apply to all clients.
The integrator, however, offers support tailored to the specific configurations and customizations implemented. They step in to resolve company-specific problems and provide ongoing maintenance to keep up with internal changes.
The publisher sells a product, the integrator supports the project
An ERP publisher markets the software and provides technical support limited to maintenance and updates. Their involvement generally ends with the delivery of the solution.
The integrator, however, guides the company throughout the entire project: from needs analysis to user training. They offer long-term support to ensure the ERP operates smoothly and evolves with the company's needs.
