What we do ## What Do Odoo Consulting Services Include? Odoo consulting services **help you make the right decisions before you spend on licences and implementation**, and fix what is not working after. Assess ### Business process analysis Workshops with each team to map how sales, purchasing, stock, projects and finance work today, and where the bottlenecks are. Choose ### ERP selection and fit-gap Every requirement checked against standard Odoo, so you know what works out of the box and what needs Studio or custom code. Plan ### Roadmap and budget A phased plan with apps, edition, plan, hosting and an estimate for each phase, ready for [Odoo implementation](https://ozonlayer.com/odoo-implementation-services/). Review ### Health check of your Odoo A review of an existing database: configuration, custom modules, data quality, performance and how teams actually use it. Improve ### Process optimization Automation rules, approvals, reports and dashboards that remove manual steps from the processes you already run in Odoo. Guide ### Ongoing advisory A second opinion when you need it, including a review of other partners’ proposals. See [how to compare Odoo proposals](https://ozonlayer.com/how-to-choose-an-odoo-implementation-partner/). How we work ## How Does an Odoo Consulting Engagement Work? Every engagement follows six steps, so **you get recommendations based on how your business really works, with a plan and a budget attached**. Short engagements, such as a proposal review or a health check, use the same steps on a smaller scale. [How to choose an Odoo partner →](https://ozonlayer.com/how-to-choose-an-odoo-implementation-partner/) ![Six-step Odoo consulting process: discovery workshops, process mapping, fit-gap analysis, recommendations, roadmap and budget, handover or delivery](https://ozonlayer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/odoo-consulting-process-6-steps.webp) 01 ### Discovery workshops We meet each team to understand goals, current systems, constraints and what must change. 02 ### Process mapping Current processes are mapped end to end, from quote to cash and from purchase to payment. 03 ### Fit-gap analysis Each requirement is marked as standard Odoo, configuration with Studio, or custom development. 04 ### Recommendations You receive the recommended apps, edition, plan and hosting, with the reasons for each choice. 05 ### Roadmap and budget The work is split into phases, core processes first, with an estimate for licences, hosting and services. 06 ### Handover or delivery Your own team can deliver the plan, or our implementation team can, with the same consultants involved. Plans and hosting ## Which Odoo Plan and Hosting Fits Your Business? **The plan decides what you can build, and the hosting decides how much control you have.** A summary of Odoo’s published plans: Plans and prices change; check the [Odoo pricing page](https://www.odoo.com/pricing-plan) for current terms. We recommend a plan after the fit-gap analysis. ![Comparison of Odoo plans: One App Free, Standard and Custom, showing apps, Studio and agentic AI, multi-company, external API and hosting options](https://ozonlayer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/odoo-plans-hosting-comparison.webp) ### One App Free One app free on Odoo Online. Studio can be that app, and multi-company is allowed. ### Standard All apps on Odoo Online, without Studio and agentic AI, multi-company or the external API. ### Custom All apps with Studio and agentic AI, multi-company, the external API and custom development, on any hosting. ### Odoo Online Hosted and upgraded by Odoo. Custom modules cannot be installed, so it suits standard processes. ### Odoo.sh Odoo’s cloud platform for custom modules, with staging branches. Hosting is charged separately. ### Your own servers Full control of the server and upgrade timing, with your team or a partner managing it. Latest release ## What Should You Know About Odoo 20 Before You Decide? Odoo 20 was released in September 2026. **Some of its changes affect which plan you choose and how you phase the project.** From the official release notes: - **AI agents:** agents can be started by automated and scheduled actions, and all AI features now use credits bought through IAP. Agentic AI is part of the Custom plan; - **MCP:** external tools can connect to your database through the Model Context Protocol; - **Offline mode:** records can be created, edited and archived while offline; - **Accounting:** parent accounts replace account groups, and an AI assistant answers questions based on your accounting data; - **Inventory and planning:** improved intercompany flows, suggested reordering levels, and field service now part of the Planning app; - **Support window:** each major version is supported for three years, which shapes your upgrade plan.

What you receive ## Independent Advice You Can Act On Our consulting is built to **keep your Odoo simple, your costs visible and your plan usable**, whoever delivers it. ![Odoo consulting deliverables: a fit-gap analysis report, the recommended setup of apps, edition, plan and hosting, a phased roadmap, and a cost estimate covering subscriptions, hosting, implementation and support](https://ozonlayer.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/odoo-consulting-deliverables.webp) Standard first ### Standard Odoo before custom code We recommend configuration and Studio before custom development, because standard features are cheaper to run and to upgrade. In writing ### Written deliverables A fit-gap report, the recommended setup, a phased roadmap and a budget estimate, not only verbal advice in meetings. Total cost ### The full cost before you commit Subscriptions, hosting, implementation, custom development and support, estimated together so there are no surprises later. Your choice ### A plan any team can deliver The roadmap is detailed enough for your own team, us or another partner to deliver, and to measure progress against. Before you start ## How Should You Prepare for Odoo Consulting? A little preparation **makes the workshops shorter and the recommendations more precise**. Already holding proposals from Odoo partners? Our guide explains how to compare scope, hours and assumptions. [Compare Odoo proposals →](https://ozonlayer.com/how-to-choose-an-odoo-implementation-partner/) 01 ### Write down your goals Note the problems to solve and what success looks like in a year, in your own words. 02 ### List current systems Include software, spreadsheets and integrations, with what each one is used for. 03 ### Name process owners Choose one person per area, such as sales, stock and finance, to join the workshops. 04 ### Gather examples Collect sample invoices, reports and forms that Odoo will need to produce. 05 ### Set a budget range An honest range helps us recommend phases that fit, instead of an ideal plan you cannot fund. Timeline and cost ## How Much Do Odoo Consulting Services Cost? **It depends on scope.** A proposal review or health check is a short engagement; a full process analysis and roadmap for several companies or many teams takes longer. ### What affects cost and timeline - the number of teams, processes and companies in scope; - the number of workshops needed; - whether you have an existing Odoo system to review; - the integrations and custom requirements to assess; - the depth of the written deliverables; - whether advice continues after the plan is agreed. If our team then implements the plan, the consulting work feeds straight into the project, so nothing is repeated. [Request a consulting estimate →](https://ozonlayer.com/contact-us/) ### Typical engagements These examples are indicative; your estimate confirms scope after a first call: - **Health check or proposal review:** an existing Odoo system or a partner’s proposal reviewed, with written findings; - **Fit-gap and roadmap:** workshops, fit-gap analysis, recommended setup, phased roadmap and budget; - **Ongoing advisory:** regular sessions with a certified consultant as your business and Odoo change. You receive a written estimate before any work starts. Case studies ## Businesses We Have Advised and Delivered For Each project started with an analysis of how the business worked.

Our team replies to every enquiry with a straight answer on scope, timeline and budget. [Ask an Odoo consultant](https://ozonlayer.com/contact-us/) **What are Odoo consulting services?** Odoo consulting services are expert advice on using Odoo to run a business: choosing the apps, edition, plan and hosting, mapping processes to Odoo, planning a phased roadmap and budget, and reviewing or improving an existing Odoo system or an Odoo project. **What does an Odoo consultant do?** An Odoo consultant runs workshops with your teams, maps your current processes, checks each requirement against standard Odoo in a fit-gap analysis, and recommends how to configure Odoo, where Studio or custom code is needed, and in what order to deliver the work. **Do we need an Odoo consultant before implementation?** It is not mandatory, but a fit-gap analysis and roadmap before implementation reduce the risk of choosing the wrong plan, building custom code that standard Odoo already covers, or underestimating the budget. For small, standard projects the analysis is short. **Which Odoo plan do we need?** One App Free covers one app on Odoo Online. Standard gives all apps on Odoo Online without Studio, multi-company or the external API. Custom adds Studio and agentic AI, multi-company, the external API and custom development, on Odoo Online, Odoo.sh or your own servers. Check Odoo's pricing page for current terms. **Should we choose Odoo Online, Odoo.sh or our own servers?** Odoo Online is hosted and upgraded by Odoo but does not allow custom modules. Odoo.sh is Odoo's cloud platform for custom modules, charged separately. Your own servers give full control of the server and upgrade timing, with your team or a partner managing them. **Should we use Odoo Community or Odoo Enterprise?** Odoo Community is free and open source but has fewer apps and features. Odoo Enterprise adds apps such as Studio, Odoo's upgrade service and support, for a subscription. The right choice depends on the apps you need, your hosting and the cost over several years. **Can you review our existing Odoo system?** Yes. A health check reviews configuration, custom modules, data quality, performance and how teams use the system, and ends with written findings and a prioritized list of fixes, whoever implemented it. **Can you review another partner's Odoo proposal?** Yes. We review the scope, hours, assumptions and exclusions of an Odoo proposal and tell you what is missing or unclear. Our guide to comparing Odoo implementation proposals explains what to check. **How much do Odoo consulting services cost?** Cost depends on the number of teams, processes and companies in scope, the number of workshops, whether an existing system is reviewed, and the depth of the deliverables. You receive a written estimate before any work starts. **What changes in Odoo 20 should we plan for?** Odoo 20, released in September 2026, adds agentic AI that runs on IAP credits, MCP connections, offline mode, parent accounts in Accounting, improved intercompany flows and field service inside the Planning app. Each major version is supported for three years. **Do you offer Odoo consulting remotely or on-site?** Both. Most workshops run remotely, and on-site sessions can be arranged from our offices in London and Riyadh for businesses in the UK, Saudi Arabia and other markets.
