Frequently Asked Questions

Odoo migration is the process of transferring data, workflows, and configurations from an existing system (legacy software, spreadsheets, or another ERP) into Odoo. It involves data extraction, cleansing, mapping, transformation, and validation.

Virtually all business data can be migrated: customers, vendors, products, accounting records, inventory, sales/purchase orders, HR data, manufacturing records, and custom data. The scope depends on your specific requirements.

Timeline varies based on data volume, complexity, and number of modules. A simple migration might take 2-4 weeks, while complex enterprise migrations can take 2-6 months. We provide detailed timelines after the initial assessment.

We work with your team to classify data into: must-migrate (active records, open transactions), nice-to-have (historical data), and archive (old data for reference only). This ensures focus on business-critical data first.

Migration moves data from a different system to Odoo. Upgrade moves your existing Odoo to a newer version. They require different approaches, tools, and testing strategies, though they can sometimes be combined.

Key preparation steps: audit your current data, clean up duplicates and errors, document your business processes, identify required custom fields, and assign a project team. Our team guides you through a detailed preparation checklist.

Post-migration includes: data validation and reconciliation, user acceptance testing (UAT), training sessions, parallel running period, performance optimization, and ongoing support during the stabilization phase.

We minimize downtime through incremental migration and parallel testing. The final data sync typically requires a brief cutover window, which we schedule during off-peak hours. Most migrations achieve near-zero downtime.
