Odoo ERP Implementation Process:

Project Planning

Before starting any ERP project one needs to plan the whole thing from deciding the team members to identify current issues and potential solutions. Important to realize, this stage is more focused on the construction of the project plan, which will truly serve us as a guide throughout the rest of the project. Appropriate Odoo implementation plan is the key to the success of an implementation. This initial phase provides the whole idea of functional as well as technical aspects that has to be carried out.

Gap Analysis

Analyzing all the gaps in all the processes on which the organization is working, is one of the basic steps after our client selects Odoo ERP system. In the first place, an experienced team of OdooExpress keenly observes all the processes then starts gathering all the requirements. Furthermore, they divide those requirements into phases that are based on the complexity of the requirements. In this phase, we do functional as well as technical gap analysis. The purpose of this gap analysis is to set out the detailed stage that has to be carried out.

Design and Development

At this stage, we work on the whole designing of the project and it decides how the new enterprise-wide system looks like. The ERP Design phase is all about various configurations for the new system, documenting standard procedures and, defining roles. After the configuration, the development phase starts and the purpose of this phase is to prepare the entire system for going live. This phase includes Odoo customization, if the client wants to add a specific feature in the particular app or module then we fulfill their specific requirement with the necessary customizations. At the same time, if they want to add an app or module in their system then our development team successfully develops a new app for them.

Quality Testing

To align the system’s functionality with all the requirements for the project, quality testing is necessary after the development process. Important to realize, in this phase our quality analyst team test all the functionalities developed and if there is any error or bug they will report to the development team to correct them. As a result, our system is all set to go for the deployment phase and then it goes live. To put it another way, it is the last stage before diving into the live system that goes live on the client’s server. OdooExpress delivers a 100% bug-free software system.

Deployment and Go live

After testing the set of functionalities, our project team and implementation team analyze and assess the situation again to ensure the final go. After the final analysis, the team loads and validates final data. All things considered, we freeze the phase then our team deploys the particular Odoo module or app on a client-server. We do not let our clients wait and keep them satisfied by deploying modules so quickly.
