It runs in **short phases with clear sign-offs**, so you see progress every week and nothing goes live until your team is ready. 01 ### Kick-off and scoping We agree project goals, the people involved on your side, the Odoo apps in scope, key dates such as a VAT quarter or financial year-end, and how decisions will be made. 02 ### Requirements and fit-gap Our functional consultants walk through each department’s daily tasks and record which ones standard Odoo handles, which need configuration and which need a small extension. 03 ### Prototype We build a working version of your core flows, such as quote to cash or purchase to pay, in a test database and demonstrate it with your own products and customers. 04 ### Configuration in iterations Feedback from the prototype is applied in short cycles: user rights, approval rules, document templates, email notifications and dashboards. 05 ### Trial data loads We rehearse the import of your master data and balances, check the results with your finance team and fix any mapping issues before the final load. 06 ### User acceptance testing Your key users run agreed test scripts end to end and sign off each process before anything goes live. 07 ### Training and cut-over Every role is trained on the tasks it performs, and a cut-over checklist sets out the last day in the old system and the first day in Odoo. 08 ### Go-live and hypercare After launch we monitor the system closely, answer user questions and fine-tune settings while your team settles in. For larger organisations we often recommend a **phased rollout**, for example finance and sales first, then inventory, manufacturing or projects. This spreads the change for your staff and lets each phase build on a stable base. Odoo apps ## Odoo Apps We Implement and What We Set Up Odoo offers dozens of integrated apps. We do not simply switch them on: we set each one up around your data, terminology and controls. ### Accounting Journals, payment terms, bank accounts and statement imports, reconciliation models, credit control, analytic accounts for cost centres and opening balances. ### CRM and Sales Pipeline stages, sales teams, lead assignment, quotation templates, pricelists, discounts and customer portal access. ### Purchase Vendor records, approval limits, three-way matching of orders, receipts and bills, and automated replenishment. ### Inventory Warehouses and locations, receipt, picking and delivery routes, barcode operations, lot and serial tracking, and stock valuation. ### Manufacturing Bills of materials, routings, work centres, subcontracting, quality control points and production scheduling. ### eCommerce and Point of Sale Online shop and tills sharing one product catalogue, one stock position and one customer base. ### Projects and Field Service Project templates, billing rules, timesheet approval and on-site job scheduling. ### Employees and Expenses Departments, approval chains, time-off allocation and expense policies. We also set up reporting, so managers get the figures they need, such as aged debt, gross margin by product or stock value by warehouse, directly in Odoo rather than in exported spreadsheets. UK localisation ## UK Localisation: VAT, Making Tax Digital and Compliance An ERP used in Britain has to follow British tax and reporting rules. **We set up Odoo’s UK localisation and test it with your accountant** before your first live VAT period. Odoo Enterprise’s UK localisation can submit VAT returns to HMRC under Making Tax Digital, so there is no spreadsheet or bridging software between your accounts and HMRC. ### UK chart of accounts and VAT Standard, reduced, zero-rated and exempt supplies, with the correct VAT return boxes mapped to each tax. ### Making Tax Digital (MTD) We connect your Odoo database to HMRC under [Making Tax Digital for VAT](https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/making-tax-digital-for-vat) and check the VAT return figures against your records before submission. ### Fiscal positions Automatic tax mapping for domestic, EU and rest-of-world customers and suppliers, so every invoice and bill gets the right VAT treatment. ### GBP and multi-currency Pounds sterling as company currency, automatic exchange rates, and realised and unrealised gains and losses on foreign-currency transactions. ### Payroll UK payroll normally runs in dedicated payroll software; we set up the journals or an integration so salary costs post correctly into Odoo. ### UK GDPR Access rights by role, audit trails on key records and data-retention practices that support your obligations under UK GDPR (see the [ICO's guidance](https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-resources/) ). Edition and hosting ## Odoo Community vs Enterprise, and Where to Host Odoo Two early choices shape your project: the edition and the hosting. We explain the trade-offs and recommend what suits your business, not a one-size-fits-all package. Free ### Odoo Community Free and open source. It suits companies with simple requirements who are comfortable relying on community modules and managing their own hosting. Subscription ### Odoo Enterprise A paid subscription that adds the full Accounting app, MTD VAT submission for UK companies (see Odoo's [UK localisation documentation](https://www.odoo.com/documentation/18.0/applications/finance/fiscal_localizations/united_kingdom.html) ), Odoo Studio, mobile apps, extra apps such as Helpdesk and Field Service, and upgrades to new versions. ### Where to host Odoo ### Odoo Online Odoo’s own software-as-a-service platform: quick to start and fully managed. Custom code modules cannot be installed, so it fits businesses that work with standard apps and Odoo Studio. ### Odoo.sh Odoo’s cloud platform for projects that need custom modules, with staging environments, automated backups and Git-based deployments. ### On-premise or private cloud Odoo on your own servers or a cloud provider of your choice: full control over infrastructure, with your team or ours responsible for maintenance, security and backups. We take into account your user numbers, integration needs, in-house IT skills and long-term plans before making a recommendation. Switching systems ## Moving from Sage, Xero or QuickBooks to Odoo Many UK businesses we work with are replacing an accounting package such as Sage, Xero or QuickBooks, often alongside spreadsheets for stock, orders or job costing. **A well-planned migration is what separates a smooth switch from months of corrections.** Already on an older Odoo version and want the latest release? Our Odoo migration services in the UK cover version upgrades too. [Odoo migration in the UK →](https://ozonlayer.com/odoo-migration-services-in-united-kingdom/) 01 ### Chart of accounts mapping Your existing nominal codes are mapped to the Odoo chart of accounts, keeping the structure your accountant knows where it makes sense. 02 ### How much history to bring Most companies move master data, open items and opening balances, and keep detailed history in the old system or an archive. We help you decide. 03 ### Master data clean-up Duplicate customers, inactive products and inconsistent units of measure are fixed before import, not after. 04 ### Open transactions Unpaid invoices, supplier bills and open sales and purchase orders are imported, so credit control and payments continue without a gap. 05 ### Reconciliation and sign-off Trial balance, aged debtors, aged creditors and stock valuation are compared between the old system and Odoo and signed off by your finance team. Cost and timeline ## What Affects the Cost and Timeline of an Odoo Implementation We do not sell fixed implementation packages, because two companies of the same size can need very different projects. **We scope each project individually**, and these are the main factors: ### Scope The number of Odoo apps, business processes and companies or warehouses involved. ### Users How many people will use the system and how many different roles need training. ### Customisation and integrations Features beyond standard Odoo, and connections to e-commerce, payment providers, payroll or other software. ### Data The number of systems you are migrating from and the quality of the data in them. ### Edition and hosting Community or Enterprise, and Odoo Online, Odoo.sh or your own servers. ### Your team’s availability Projects move fastest when key users can attend workshops and testing sessions on schedule. Typical timeline A focused rollout of a few core apps typically takes **4 to 12 weeks**. Multi-company or manufacturing projects with integrations take longer and are often delivered in phases.
