Odoo Migration

Move to Odoo without losing operating history or control.

Moving to Odoo changes more than a database. We protect manufacturing master data, inventory, open orders, production work, financial control, integrations, decisions, and user confidence while the operating system changes.

Launchpad assesses the operating need and creates the Roadmap. We engineer this capability when the approved plan calls for it.

Manufacturing employees reviewing operating systems and production information

A strong fit when

  • Master data carries years of accumulated errors into the new system if nobody cleans it first
  • A single big-bang cutover raises the risk of a costly production outage
  • Financials, inventory, and production modules all depend on each other in ways a rushed migration ignores
  • Without a phased plan and parallel run, problems surface only after go-live

Why this service exists

Connect the technology decision to the work the manufacturing business must control.

01

Business outcome

Use this capability when Order-to-Delivery analysis in Launchpad shows that the people, processes, records, and decisions behind demand, planning, sourcing, production, inventory, fulfillment, or service need one dependable operating core.

02

System responsibility

ERP provides the shared operating records and controlled workflows that connect demand, supply, production, inventory, fulfillment, service, and financial control to the wider business architecture.

03

Ownership and control

The manufacturer must retain ownership of process design, master data, business rules, integrations, permissions, measures, operating knowledge, and the path for future change.

01

The Business Problem

The migration plan moves data but does not protect the business.

ERP problems begin when software selection, process decisions, master data, integrations, adoption, and cutover are treated as separate projects instead of one operating change.

01

What leaders see

Teams keep working around the core system.

Spreadsheets, re-entry, side databases, and manual approvals remain necessary to complete ordinary work.

02

What is actually happening

The operating model and system design disagree.

Records, workflows, controls, ownership, and integrations do not support the way the business has agreed to operate.

03

What gets worse

Every workaround makes the next change harder.

Customizations and local processes accumulate while upgrades, reporting, support, and adoption become more difficult to govern.

02

What changes

Make the operating responsibility visible and governable.

Moving to Odoo changes more than a database. We protect manufacturing master data, inventory, open orders, production work, financial control, integrations, decisions, and user confidence.

01

Operating outcome

Move to Odoo without losing operating history or control.

02

Operating records and controls involved

customers and products, orders and pricing, inventory and purchasing

03

Decision and exception path

Which operating records and workflows belong in ERP, what must remain connected, and how the change will improve control without disrupting customer commitments.

04

Ownership and continuity

ERP work needs an agreed operating model, accountable master data, defined integrations, controlled change, adoption ownership, and a cutover path the business can support.

03

Architecture

Build the service around the business record and decision.

Engineering scope

What Metrotechs engineers for Odoo Migration.

The exact scope follows the approved business objective, source records, dependencies, controls, and delivery sequence.

01

Legacy ERP to Odoo Migration

Migrate from SAP, Epicor, NetSuite, Dynamics, QuickBooks, or custom systems to Odoo. We map every data entity, transform formats, validate at every gate, and cut over with rollback capability.

02

Odoo Version Upgrades

Upgrade from older Odoo versions (12, 13, 14, 15, 16) to the latest release. We migrate data, update custom modules, validate integrations, and regression-test before production cutover.

03

Data Mapping & Transformation

Map source system fields to Odoo models. Transform data formats, merge duplicates, and enrich records during migration. Every mapping is documented and reversible.

04

Historical Data Preservation

Migrate transaction history — sales orders, purchase orders, invoices, production records — so your team retains full operational context. Define retention rules for what migrates and what archives.

05

Parallel Run Validation

Run the old system and Odoo side by side, processing the same transactions. Compare outputs to validate accuracy before cutover. No big-bang surprises.

06

Cutover Planning & Execution

Detailed cutover runbook with timeline, responsible parties, validation checkpoints, and rollback triggers. Weekend or off-hours execution to minimize disruption.

05

Delivery sequence

From operating reality to a solution the business can own.

01

Source System Audit

Audit the source system — data quality, volume, relationships, customizations. Identify what migrates, what transforms, and what gets left behind.

02

Migration Architecture

Design the migration pipeline — extraction scripts, transformation rules, loading sequences, validation gates. Define rollback procedures for every stage.

03

Iterative Migration Runs

Rehearse the migration in test environments until validation results and cutover timing meet the agreed criteria. Production cutover follows a successful rehearsal.

04

Cutover & Hypercare

Execute production cutover with the proven runbook. 30-day hypercare period to catch and resolve post-migration issues.

FAQ

Questions to answer before implementation begins.

Clear answers for manufacturing leaders evaluating the work, operating responsibility, and delivery path.

The schedule is driven by data condition, source systems, open transactions, integrations, custom behavior, user readiness, trial results, and cutover risk. The Roadmap should expose those dependencies before a target date becomes a commitment.
