Companies are trying to gain momentum against other competitive businesses by executing day-to-day activities through ERP solutions. Odoo ERP system makes these processes seamless by integrating several modules into one system that allows its users to coordinate and manage business operations efficiently. Odoo is an open-source software useful for business management. The latest Odoo version is Odoo 18, launched in October 2024.
Enterprise Resource Planning software is the fuel for running your business efficiently. It allows you to manage all your business processes effortlessly. Your ERP software must integrate vital business processes like finance, procurement, inventory management, marketing, sales, and so forth, as well as be capable of generating revenue and nurturing the growth of a company. It must enable a business to make informed decisions, streamline processes, and reduce time and costs. Using an ERP solution enables better coordination of activities amongst all the departments in your business. With an ERP, your business is capable of offering products and services through a seamless channel of information shared through integrated applications.
Fabien Pinckaers, Odoo Founder and CEO, envisioned ERP as open-source software, a game changer at a time when ERP software was sold without the source code.
Fabien began the journey of bringing an open-source ERP into the world in 2005. His passion led him to launch OpenERP, selling services to its customers. Later, they switched from being a service company to a software publishing company with 500 partners in 100 countries. They had exceptional growth in the ERP market. Their software had many more applications than the traditional ones like sales, accounting, inventory, etc. Their incredible software paved the way to newer markets like CMS and eCommerce. The OpenERP CMS tool achieved appreciation from the top CMS companies.
By this phase, OpenERP wasn’t restricted to covering only traditional business activities like Sales, Accounting, Inventory, etc. It was spreading its wings into CMS, eCommerce, Business Intelligence, etc., and many other useful modules of business. The company decided to rename itself and the product as Odoo.
Odoo is capable of customizing requirements relevant to business needs. It empowers you to add new functionalities by using a variety of modules and their applications. With the source code being available in the Enterprise version, applications can be modified based on your needs and business functions.

Confianz is an Odoo Official Partner, which means that we host teams that are experts in Odoo customization and Odoo ERP implementation. Odoo development can be quite tricky and lead to an unusable product if not executed properly. We at Confianz provide customization using Odoo Enterprise Edition as per your business requirements and can deploy on your self-hosted infrastructure or through Odoo.sh.
As an Odoo partner we follow a series of steps that are necessary for any successful Odoo ERP integration into your business:
A successful Odoo ERP system implementation always starts with an in-depth analysis of the business processes and systems in place. This is critical in determining which Odoo modules would be most appropriate, and also how to get Odoo tailored to meet the business goals.
After the assessment has been refined and discussed with the clients, a proper plan is laid out. This will specify the implementation methodology, stage-by-stage deliverables, and the respective timelines.
With the plan in place, the base layer is set up. This means the correct version of Odoo is installed and configured on the client’s infrastructure, along with all the essential software like the database and interface layers.
Many businesses might have a system in place already, and that would require data migration to the Odoo system set up in the previous step.
Enterprise edition can be tailor-made depending on your business requirements by Odoo developers. During the initial planning phase, modules that need customization will be outlined. Confianz is a leader in Odoo implementation and can execute them to perfection.
Post customization, detailed testing needs to be done to identify any incorrect system behaviors. Different levels of testing are conducted like system testing, integration testing, performance testing, and so on, which makes sure that the customizations done are as expected.
End users require effective training on the new system that they are going to be using. Confianz provides such training to the employees, bringing them up to speed with all the changes in place.
After testing sign-off and end-users are trained, Odoo is ready to be deployed on the client's system and Confianz executes a perfect go-live, with all the parties actively involved.
A successful go-live and deployment is only half the battle won. There will always be issues reported once the system is available for end-users, and Confianz believes in providing the best market support and maintenance. This means any defects reported will be worked upon and resolved in minimal time.
There is always room for improvement, and as business processes evolve, the Odoo system implemented will require updates. The entire cycle is repeated to keep the business operating harmoniously.
Odoo provides 24x7 support to its users and provides complete documentation of its modules. Numerous blogs, forums, community discussions, and video tutorials are available for Odoo users that they can use to learn and use Odoo efficiently.
Odoo is gaining popularity across businesses throughout the world. Odoo users are estimated to be over 5,000,000 and increasing daily. Odoo is popular across all industries with small, medium, and large-scale businesses.
