01
The vendor sells you the future.
'When you're fully transformed in 2028, this will be incredible.' That's not a project, that's a religion. By the time it ships, your business has changed and the system is already wrong.
Practice 02 · Odoo
Implement Odoo across the whole business. Without the eighteen-month timeline.
Finance, operations, sales, inventory, manufacturing: modern, integrated, and live in a quarter. Not the Big Four's seven-figure invoice and three-year roadmap.
ERP projects fail because they're scoped wrong from the start.
02
The implementation team has never run a business.
Senior partners pitch the deal. Junior consultants do the work. They've never closed a month-end. They've never explained variance to a CFO. They're learning your business while billing you.
03
The customizations become the prison.
Every 'we need it to work this way' turns into a custom module that nobody else can maintain. Two years later, you can't upgrade Odoo because too many things will break.
What you get.
- An Odoo deployment across the modules that match your operating model: Finance, Inventory, Manufacturing, HR, Sales, CRM
- Data migration from your existing ERP, accounting system, or whatever spreadsheet stack you're escaping
- Integrations with your bank, payment processor, e-commerce platform, EDI partners, and warehouse systems
- A 'no exotic customizations' architecture, built on Odoo's standard modules so you can upgrade for the next decade without breaking
- A CFO-ready financial close process: month-end, quarter-end, year-end procedures documented and rehearsed
- Training tracks for finance, ops, sales, and admin teams: videos, runbooks, in-person sessions
What ninety days looks like.
- Days 1–30: Discovery & designWalk every operational flow with the team that runs it. Map your chart of accounts, inventory model, manufacturing routings, sales process. Decide what stays standard, what gets configured, what (rarely) needs custom code.
- Days 31–60: Build & migrateConfigure modules. Migrate historical data. Run parallel against your existing system. Surface every edge case before it becomes a production fire.
- Days 61–90: Cutover & stabilizeGo live. Daily office hours. First month-end close on the new system, with us in the room. Two weeks of post-cutover stabilization.
How engagements are structured.
We work fixed-fee for the discovery and design phase (Days 1–30). At the end of discovery, you get a fixed-fee proposal for the implementation phase or the option to walk away with the discovery deliverable. Your call, no penalties.
Larger ERP work (multi-entity, multi-currency, multi-country) uses a phased fixed-fee model. We never bill hourly for ERP work. Hourly is how the seven-figure invoices happen.
Frequently asked.
Why Odoo over NetSuite, SAP, or Microsoft?
Odoo is dramatically cheaper, faster to implement, and the codebase is open. You're not locked into a vendor's licensing curve, and your customizations live in a place where any Odoo developer in the world can maintain them. NetSuite and SAP make sense for very large enterprises with $1B+ revenue and complex regulatory needs. For mid-market and PE-backed companies, Odoo is the better operating choice nine times out of ten.
How big a company is this for?
We've deployed Odoo for companies between $5M and $250M in revenue. Below $5M, the implementation often costs more than the ROI. Above $250M, you start running into module limits that argue for SAP or NetSuite, though Odoo's enterprise tier handles a lot more than people assume.
How does this compare cost-wise to a Big Four NetSuite project?
Typically a third to a fifth of the cost, in a third of the time. The catch: you have to stay disciplined on customization. The reason Big Four ERP projects cost so much is the customization theater. We don't do that.
Can you do data migration from our current system?
Probably yes. Common migrations: QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP Business One, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage, custom-built systems, spreadsheet-based finance. If your current system can export, we can probably ingest. The first thing in discovery is verifying that.
Are you Odoo Partners?
We work extensively in Odoo and have implemented it across mid-market and PE-backed companies. Formal partnership status is something we'll be transparent about during discovery. Depending on the engagement, we may bring in a co-implementation partner with the right tier for licensing benefits.
What about ongoing support after launch?
Optional support retainer at fixed monthly fee. Or you can take the runbooks and run it in-house. Many clients do.

the messy one.
The system that's been on the roadmap for two years. The migration that's already failed once. The AI strategy that didn't make it past the deck. That's the one we want.
