By understanding your specific Odoo setup including apps, workflows, and integrations, we design a migration strategy that ensures accurate data mapping, minimizes disruptions, and delivers a seamless transition to ERPNext’s unified platform.​

Data Integrity and Security

Data accuracy and security are paramount when migrating from Odoo’s multi-app structure.

We implement stringent security measures protecting sensitive information during extraction, transformation, and loading phases, giving you confidence that your business-critical data transfers safely and accurately.​

Customized ERPNext Setup

Migrating from Odoo to ERPNext is more than data transfer; it’s an opportunity to consolidate fragmented apps into ERPNext’s integrated platform. Our team rebuilds Odoo customizations using Frappe’s flexible framework, configures ERPNext modules matching your business processes, and implements workflows that replicate or enhance your Odoo operations. We ensure ERPNext becomes a powerful unified asset tailored to your specific needs, eliminating the data silos inherent in Odoo’s separate applications.​

Integration with Existing Systems

If your business relies on additional applications beyond Odoo, we integrate ERPNext seamlessly during migration. Our Integration Specialists connect ERPNext with your CRM, e-commerce platforms, payment gateways, and third-party tools using REST APIs and webhooks, ensuring smooth data flow across your technology ecosystem. This provides a unified environment that enhances efficiency, maintains data consistency, and improves collaboration across departments.​
