Consulting Operations

Manage the Records Behind Every Client Engagement

A consulting operation needs visibility across client requirements, opportunities, proposals, project scope, consultant allocation, recorded hours, expenses, and billing.

Odoo can connect these records so teams can identify which client the work belongs to, what was agreed, who is assigned, how much effort has been recorded, and what activity is billable.
