How we ensure your success with ERP implementation
When it comes to ERP implementation, we focus on efficient and practical execution. We emphasize user adoption, simplicity, and managing expectations through proactive and clear communication. To ensure a smooth and manageable implementation, we recommend limiting custom development and importing historical data.
We follow a clear, structured, and adaptable process, ensuring that all aspects of the ERP system are perfectly aligned with your specific business needs. From the initial needs analysis, where we define key requirements, to support and optimization after Go-Live, our goal is to make the implementation as smooth and value-driven as possible.
Our implementation mantra is:
- Keep the solution as STANDARD as possible
- Deliver as FAST as possible
- Keep the implementation AFFORDABLE

Needs analysis
A thorough needs analysis forms the cornerstone of any ERP implementation. At FlexERP, we start by diving into your current workflows and future business goals. This step is crucial to ensure that the solution we implement accurately matches the unique requirements of your business and can scale as your company grows.
For customers who desire it, we also offer a detailed GAP analysis to pinpoint specific areas where Odoo ERP can offer improvements compared to existing solutions.
Project kick-off
In the kick-off phase, we, together with you, establish the necessary framework for the ERP implementation. We define the project's goals, plan necessary resources, and establish communication lines, which are fundamental for effective execution. This phase also includes a careful plan for stakeholder involvement, where all key individuals are engaged and informed from the start. By ensuring a common understanding and clear expectations from the beginning, we lay the foundation for a successful implementation of the Odoo ERP system in your organization.
System configuration and customization
In configuration, we prioritize the use of Odoo's standard functionalities to tailor the system to your specific needs. Our goal is to minimize custom development, as standard solutions are often more stable and efficient. This approach ensures that we can leverage the built-in robustness and extensive testing of Odoo's core functionalities, resulting in a reliable and maintenance-friendly ERP solution.
By only developing customizations when absolutely necessary, we achieve a balance that respects both your unique requirements and the system's integrity. This foundation supports not only your current operations but also your future growth and adaptability.
Data migration
An important part of the implementation is transferring existing data to the new system. In the data migration phase, we offer two options: You can choose to handle the data transfer yourself with our support, or you can leave the entire process to us.
We recommend limiting the import of historical data. By focusing on necessary and relevant data, we ensure a quick and cost-effective implementation. Our team is ready to guide and assist throughout the process, regardless of which solution you choose, to ensure a smooth and secure data migration.
Testing
Before the system goes live, we conduct comprehensive testing to detect and correct errors, ensuring that all system components function as they should under different scenarios. This step minimizes the risk of operational disruptions and ensures a smooth transition to the new ERP system.
User training
To maximize the value of your new ERP solution, we offer detailed user training for your staff. We ensure that all end users understand how to leverage the full potential of the system in their daily work. The training is tailored to different user levels, from basic users to advanced administrators.
Go live!
When we reach the Go-live phase, your new Odoo ERP system is ready to go live. This crucial phase marks the transition from a testing environment to the actual daily use of the system.
We ensure a smooth transition by carefully monitoring the system to identify and address any technical issues quickly. This includes ongoing support and troubleshooting in the critical days following the system going live.
Phase two rollout
After the system has gone live, we continue to fine-tune and expand your Odoo ERP system based on initial user feedback. This phase involves customizing additional features and optimizing existing setups to ensure that the system continues to meet your company's evolving needs. We work closely with your team to implement enhancements that increase the system's efficiency and productivity in the long term. This ongoing support ensures that your ERP investment remains robust and value-driven.
