Most Odoo projects start with modules. Ours start with operational mapping. We define data contracts, integration boundaries, and go-live governance before a single module is configured. Charlotte is a major automotive and energy manufacturing hub. Operations like Siemens Energy, Honeywell, ABB run on complex ERP environments — often on SAP, Oracle, Epicor — where implementations frequently go over budget or under-deliver because scope is defined by modules, not operations. Charlotte-area Automotive, Energy Infrastructure, Aerospace & Defense businesses are choosing Odoo for its flexibility, and choosing Metrotechs to govern the implementation so it fits the actual operation.
The difference between a successful Odoo implementation and a failed one in Charlotte is almost always the same: operational mapping before configuration. Businesses that define data contracts and workflow boundaries first go live on schedule. Those that start with modules almost never do.
We map your order-to-delivery workflows, data handoffs, and system landscape before touching Odoo. The implementation scope comes from your operation, not a module checklist.
Configure Odoo Manufacturing, Inventory, Sales, Purchase, and Accounting modules against your actual workflows. Minimize customization by maximizing fit during the architecture phase.
Migrate master data — items, BOMs, customers, pricing, inventory — with validation gates at every stage. No garbage in, no garbage out.
Design and build integrations between Odoo and your WMS, CRM, e-commerce, EDI, shipping, and legacy systems using Odoo's API, XML-RPC, or middleware.
Structured cutover with rollback plans, parallel run validation, user acceptance testing, and hypercare support. No surprises on launch day.
After go-live, we monitor KPIs, resolve edge cases, and tune configurations. Your Odoo instance gets better over the first 90 days, not worse.
Map current-state workflows, data flows, and system landscape. Identify what Odoo must govern vs. what stays in specialized systems.
Define module configuration, integration architecture, data migration plan, and customization boundaries. Lock the scope before build starts.
Configure modules, build integrations, and migrate data in iterative sprints with stakeholder review at every milestone.
End-to-end testing across order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, and manufacturing flows. User acceptance with real transaction data.
Governed cutover with 30/60/90-day hypercare. KPI monitoring and rapid resolution of post-launch issues.

We implement Odoo 16, 17, and 18 — both Community and Enterprise editions. The recommendation depends on your operational requirements: Enterprise adds manufacturing planning, quality management, and studio customization tools that most manufacturers need.
Typical manufacturing Odoo implementations take 3–8 months depending on scope. Single-site with core modules can go live in 3 months. Multi-site with advanced manufacturing, EDI, and e-commerce integration typically takes 5–8 months.
Yes. We build integrations between Odoo and WMS platforms, CRM systems, e-commerce storefronts, EDI/AS2, shipping carriers, and legacy ERP systems using Odoo's REST API, XML-RPC, or middleware like n8n and Apache Camel.
It depends on your manufacturing complexity. Community works for simple make-to-stock operations. Enterprise is typically required for manufacturers needing MRP II planning, quality management, advanced warehouse routes, or Odoo Studio for no-code customization.
ERP projects fail more often than they succeed. Not because the software is bad, but because the selection and implementation process is vendor-led instead of operations-led. Here's what good looks like before you sign anything.
Odoo covers most manufacturing operations natively. But every operation has workflows where the standard modules fall short. We map your BOMs, pricing logic, warehouse complexity, and dealer channels against Odoo's capabilities — so you go into implementation with a realistic scope, not surprises at month three.
Every failed ERP implementation has one thing in common: they migrated 20 years of bad data into a new system and expected different results. We cleanse, validate, and migrate master data with gates at every stage — so your new ERP starts with data you can trust.
Odoo doesn't run in isolation. It connects to WMS, CRM, M2B Commerce, EDI, shipping, banking, and legacy systems — all hosted and managed on AWS. Without governed integration architecture, those connections become a fragile web of point-to-point scripts that break every time something changes.
Odoo covers most manufacturing operations without a line of custom code. But when your workflows genuinely require it, we build Python custom modules — documented, tested, and upgrade-safe. We don't bolt code onto standard modules. We extend Odoo the right way.
ERP go-live is the highest-risk moment in the entire implementation. Orders are in flight, inventory is moving, and you're switching the system that governs all of it. We structure the cutover with rollback plans, validation gates, and hypercare support so your operation doesn't skip a beat.
Go-live is not the finish line — it's where the real optimization begins. Edge cases surface, users discover workarounds, and the configuration that worked in testing meets production reality. We monitor, tune, and optimize your ERP through the first 90 days and beyond so performance improves, not degrades.
The scariest moment in any migration is the cutover. We eliminate that fear by running old and new systems in parallel with automated reconciliation -- you switch over only when the new system has proven it produces the same results as the old one.
Big-bang migrations fail because they try to replace everything simultaneously. We decompose your legacy system into modules and replace them one at a time -- each phase is self-contained, tested, and reversible. Your operation never stops.
When standard Odoo modules don't fit your manufacturing workflows, we build custom modules that extend Odoo without creating upgrade-blocking technical debt. Every custom module follows Odoo's ORM patterns and is designed to survive version upgrades.
Standard Odoo covers 80% of manufacturing needs. We close the remaining 20% with targeted customizations — module configuration, workflow adjustments, custom fields, and UI tailoring — without creating technical debt.
Odoo is rarely the only system on your floor. We integrate it with your WMS, CRM, e-commerce platform, EDI partners, shipping carriers, and legacy systems — governed by data contracts that prevent sync failures and data drift.
Metrotechs starts with the operating questions: which records are trusted, which workflows are manual, which systems own each decision, and where AI can safely improve throughput.
