WHAT WE DELIVER

A considered move to your next system.

A migration should leave your team ready to continue working. We review the source and target, prepare the data, rehearse the move and coordinate the final cutover with your business owners.

Migration assessment

Review the source software, target version, modules and the records you need to retain.

Data preparation

Map fields, resolve duplicates and agree the approved source files.

Trial imports

Rehearse the transfer and identify mapping or compatibility issues early.

Balance checks

Compare agreed counts, opening balances, stock and active records with their source.

Cutover planning

Set the final extract, transaction freeze, approvals and fallback conditions.

History & handover

Agree access to retained records, user guidance and the support arrangements after the move.

IS THIS THE RIGHT SERVICE?

Different starting points. One controlled move.

01

An older Odoo release

Review the database, custom apps and target-version compatibility.

02

Another ERP or accounts package

Map the required records from authorised source exports.

03

Excel and separate files

Clean and structure the records for a new Odoo setup.

THE RESULT OF THE WORK

Know what
you’ll receive.

Each engagement has agreed deliverables and a named owner for the next step.

OUR APPROACH

A clear route from enquiry to handover.

  1. 01

    Assess

    Confirm the migration route and data scope.

  2. 02

    Prepare

    Clean records and map the source to Odoo.

  3. 03

    Rehearse

    Run a trial and reconcile the agreed results.

  4. 04

    Switch

    Complete final checks and support the handover.

MAKE THE RESULT PROVABLE

Four controls for a safer migration.

A successful import message is not acceptance. Business owners need evidence that the agreed records arrived correctly.

01

Source inventory

List systems, files, record types, owners, retention needs and authorised exports.

02

Mapping & cleanup

Define target fields, formats, duplicate rules, transformations and rejected-record handling.

03

Trial & reconciliation

Compare counts, balances, stock and selected records against signed source evidence.

04

Cutover & archive

Set the final extract, freeze, downtime, approvals, rollback and read-only history access.

A LITTLE MORE DETAIL

Worth clarifying
before we start.

Do we need to transfer all history?

Not always. Full history, selected records or opening balances with an archive are options to assess with your finance and record-retention advisers.

How do we keep the business running?

The plan identifies the entry cut-off, any downtime, the approval window and the fallback if the final move cannot proceed.

What should the reconciliation pack contain?

Include source and target counts, financial control totals, stock quantities, rejected records, selected record samples, explanations for differences and approval by the responsible business owners.

What happens to records that are not migrated?

Define a secure, accessible archive with an owner, retention period and retrieval process. Confirm how users will distinguish archived history from live Odoo records after cutover.

BEFORE WE BEGIN

A few useful answers.

Have a question about your setup?

Speak to the team
Can you migrate from Tally or Excel?

We review sample exports, required record types and field mappings before confirming feasibility and scope.

Will custom modules move to the new version?

They need a compatibility and licence review. Adaptation and repeat testing may be required.

How are the figures checked?

Finance and operations owners approve agreed reconciliation checks against the source records. An import-success message alone is not acceptance.

Who approves the final switch?

A named business owner signs off the readiness checks. The project plan states who can go ahead, pause or revert the move.

How many trial migrations are needed?

The plan should include enough rehearsals to validate mappings, timing and reconciliation before the final cutover. The number depends on source quality, volume and unresolved differences rather than a fixed rule.

Can failed or rejected records be corrected after import?

They should be recorded, assigned and resolved through a controlled process. Re-import rules must prevent duplicates and preserve the reconciliation evidence used for approval.
