Guides: the questions to ask before an Odoo project
The questions we are asked at the first meeting, answered in writing, so that you arrive with the answers.
An Odoo project is largely decided before it starts: on budget, schedule, choice of partner and data preparation. These six guides give you the benchmarks of a team whose partners combine 63 years of Odoo.
Six guides to prepare your Odoo project
Read them in whatever order suits you: each one stands on its own.
How much does Odoo cost
Licences, implementation, maintenance: what really makes up the cost of a project.
How long does an Odoo project take
Realistic durations depending on scope, from a few weeks to several months.
Choosing your Odoo integrator
The questions to ask and the warning signs before you sign.
Data migration
What to migrate, what to leave behind and how to make data reliable before import.
Light users in Odoo 20
Who stays Light, who becomes Standard: the classification rule and cases by profile.
Which guide should you start with?
It depends on the stage of your Odoo project. Here is a simple benchmark.
- You are assessing whether a project makes sense: start with cost, then duration.
- You are comparing partners: read the guide on choosing an integrator before requesting quotes.
- You are changing tools and already have data: data migration is a topic that often derails a schedule.
- You have already been through a difficult project: the guide on failure causes will help you make a diagnosis.
- You are on, or about to move to, Odoo 20: the guide on Light users helps you anticipate your licences.
None of these guides replaces a conversation about your situation. They are there to make that first meeting a useful one, where we talk about your company rather than about Odoo in general.
Why guides rather than a sales brochure?
Because an ERP project is better decided with facts than with promises. Our guides say what is feasible and what is not. They draw on our practice as an integrator and on official Odoo sources, not on invented market figures.
On pricing, only one figure is public: the Odoo "Custom" licence at €35.90 per user per month for the first year, then €44.90 from the second year, with all applications included. The rest depends on your scope and is costed during a 30-minute conversation.
To gauge the scale of a project, also see our Odoo Implementation page and our comparisons.

Ask it at the first meeting. If it comes up often, it will become a guide.

A question that isn't here?
Ask it during a 30-minute conversation. We answer frankly, even when the answer is "Odoo is not the right solution".
