Houston, Texas - Odoo Migration

Odoo Migration for businesses in Houston, Texas.

Whether you're migrating from a legacy ERP, upgrading between Odoo versions, or consolidating multiple systems into Odoo — we govern the entire process with data validation gates and parallel-run verification. Houston is one of the most operationally complex business markets in the United States. The energy corridor, the Port of Houston, the Texas Medical Center, and a massive industrial supply chain ecosystem all converge here. Metrotechs builds custom AI agents and AI systems for Houston businesses with high-volume operations — pricing agents, demand forecasting, fulfillment AI, exception resolution, and operational intelligence. Deployed in your infrastructure. Owned by you.

Houston energy sector transactions average $47,000 per order — 5x the national average. High-value, high-complexity decisions are exactly where AI agents produce the greatest ROI.

What We Deliver In Houston

Odoo Migration scope of work.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.

6

Cutover Planning & Execution

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

How It Works

Our Odoo Migration process in Houston.

1

Source System Audit

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

2

Migration Architecture

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

3

Iterative Migration Runs

Execute migration in test environments 3-5 times before production. Each run identifies and fixes issues. Production migration is never the first run.

4

Cutover & Hypercare

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

FAQ

Odoo Migration in Houston FAQ

How long does a migration to Odoo take?

Simple migrations from QuickBooks or small ERPs: 2–4 months. Mid-size migrations from Epicor, NetSuite, or Dynamics: 4–8 months. Complex multi-site migrations from SAP: 6–12 months. The timeline is driven by data complexity and integration count, not just record volume.

Will we lose historical data during migration?

No. We migrate historical transactions — orders, invoices, production records — based on your retention requirements. Typically 3–5 years of active history migrates to Odoo, with older records archived in accessible format.

Can we migrate in phases instead of all at once?

Yes. Phased migration is our preferred approach for manufacturers with complex operations. Typical phases: financials first, then inventory and purchasing, then manufacturing and quality. Each phase has its own parallel run and cutover.

What about custom reports and workflows from our old system?

We audit existing reports and workflows, identify which ones are still used, and rebuild them in Odoo. Many legacy reports can be replicated with Odoo's built-in reporting. Custom workflows are mapped to Odoo's automation engine or rebuilt as custom modules.

ERP Selection & Implementation

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, ERP, and implementation

Odoo Fit Analysis

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.

ERP Data Migration & Cleansing

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, ERP, and implementation

ERP Integration Architecture

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, ERP, and implementation

ERP Module Configuration

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 Governance

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.

Odoo, ERP, and implementation

ERP Post-Launch Optimization

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.

Odoo, ERP, and implementation

Parallel Running

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.

Odoo, ERP, and implementation

Phased Migration Strategy

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.

Odoo, ERP, and implementation

Odoo Implementation

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.

Odoo, ERP, and implementation

Odoo Custom Development

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.

Odoo, ERP, and implementation

Odoo Customization

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.
