Since I started working a decade ago, I have been providing industry-based solutions (ERPs) to my clients.
After doing odoo over the past 5 years, I now recommend Odoo to almost every client.
So, I am looking for some answers to a few questions that I have in mind.
- Which Odoo partner companies specialize in which industries?
- Can you write the industry expertise with odoo partner name so that I can choose the right partner for my client's business?
- What are the challenges of using an Odoo partner company that does not specialize in my industry?
There are many functional experts in the forum who know which odoo partner has more experience OR many clients in a specific industry. I want to know every industry with odoo partner company name in answers OR comments.
Additionally, I want to know 'Which partner company I should consider if I have a low budget for the Odoo customization?'
I think the answer to this question will help us all who are working odoo. I appreciate everyone's contribution to our odoo community.
Thank you.
In general I find to many coding experts and to few business process experts practice by Odoo Partners. I had this search myself 6 months ago.
And Odoo have difficult in specific businese processes, even with the very flexible customization that exist.
Thank you for your comment @Lars Aam.
I totally agree with your words. Searching for customization that already exists is a difficult task. But, searching for a relevant experienced person is more difficult. Coz, everyone is saying that he/she can do it.
In response to your first two questions: on the Odoo website’s partner list, you can now filter by industries — try using that. Also, check out partner case studies and try to talk to end customers to get feedback on the partner.
Answering your 3rd question: It’s better, of course, to choose from those who have relevant experience and with whom there’s a good match. However, good partners have staff who can quickly get up to speed on unfamiliar areas — that’s their job. So try speaking with different ones.
And when you do speak with them, here’s a list of questions you can ask. This list was shared with us by an ERP Consultant:
What are your recent projects in our sector?
Can we speak with similarly sized and industry-matched client references?
How do you manage project staffing and continuity?
What’s your change management and training plan?
How do you handle integrations and legacy systems?
What’s your methodology for requirement gathering?
Do you offer post go-live support?
Who owns the code/customizations?
How do you ensure executive and user engagement?
What happens if we’re off track mid-project?
