Odoo ERP for Professional Services

Connect CRM, Sales, Project, Timesheets, Invoicing, and Accounting in one professional services ERP, configured around the way your firm delivers work.

Professional services firms need more than separate tools for winning clients and delivering projects. Odoo connects these workflows so commercial activity, project execution, employee time, billable work, and financial records can work within a unified ERP environment.

OdooBots configures and implements Odoo around your firm’s operating model from workflow design and application configuration to data migration, integrations, customization, testing, deployment, and ongoing support.

Connected Professional Services Operations

Odoo-Connected-Professional

Odoo can associate commercial records with project and delivery records, creating traceable relationships between client engagements, projects, tasks, milestones, and employee time entries. This structure allows teams to maintain operational context across the service-delivery process and track work against the relevant business records.

Billable time and service activity can feed applicable customer invoicing workflows, while resulting transactions can be recorded through Odoo’s financial management processes. This creates connected relationships between client engagements, project delivery, time data, billing records, and financial transactions within the ERP environment.
