What is Odoo?
Connect sales, inventory, purchasing, accounting, manufacturing, projects and eCommerce in one flexible business platform
One Platform to Run Your Business
Odoo is a modular business management platform that brings your core operations together in one connected system. Instead of maintaining separate applications for CRM, quoting, inventory, purchasing, accounting, projects and eCommerce, Odoo allows information to move naturally from one business process to the next.
A sales opportunity can become a quotation, sales order, delivery, invoice and payment without repeatedly entering the same information. Because each application works from the same underlying platform, your teams gain clearer information, more consistent processes and better visibility across the business.
Start with the applications you need today and add further capabilities as your requirements grow.
Sales and Customer Management
Manage leads, opportunities, customer activities, quotations and sales orders through one connected process.
Sales teams can see what needs attention, prepare consistent quotations and follow opportunities through to completion.
Once a customer accepts a quotation, the information can flow directly into delivery, purchasing, production, projects and invoicing without being entered again.
Accounting and Financial Management
Connect invoicing and financial activity directly to the transactions occurring elsewhere in the business. Customer invoices can be generated from sales, deliveries, timesheets, milestones or subscriptions, while supplier bills connect with purchasing. This reduces the gap between operational activity and financial reporting and gives management a more current view of business performance.
Inventory, Purchasing and Warehousing
Maintain visibility over products, stock availability, incoming purchases and outgoing deliveries. Odoo connects purchasing decisions with sales demand, replenishment rules and current inventory. Businesses can manage multiple locations, supplier pricing, product variants, lots, serial numbers and stock movements while giving staff a clearer view of what is available and what needs to be ordered.
Manufacturing and Production
Plan and control manufacturing using bills of materials, manufacturing orders, work centres and production schedules. Odoo can connect demand, available components, purchasing, production, quality and finished inventory. This gives manufacturers greater visibility over what needs to be produced, the materials required and the progress of work across the factory.
Projects and Service Delivery
Manage projects, tasks, timesheets, milestones, resources and customer billing in one place. Sales can create the work, delivery teams can manage it and finance can invoice it without relying on disconnected spreadsheets. This is particularly useful for consulting, professional services, installation, maintenance and other project-based businesses.
Website and eCommerce
Build a website and online store connected directly to the rest of the business. Products, customer details, pricing, orders, payments and stock availability can move through the same platform used by sales and operations. Odoo can support business-to-consumer and business-to-business sales without maintaining a separate eCommerce database.
Not Sure Which Odoo Applications You Need?
Why Odoo Works
Odoo combines a broad range of business applications with the flexibility to implement only what you need. Its greatest value comes from connecting people, processes and information across the business.
Designed to Start Small and Grow
Odoo is modular, so businesses can start with CRM and sales, then add inventory, accounting, manufacturing, eCommerce and more as they grow.
Connected Processes
Odoo connects your entire business. Enquiries become quotes, orders, deliveries and invoices, while sales drive purchasing, production and project billing—all without repeatedly transferring information between systems.
Flexible Without Starting over
Odoo provides strong standard functionality, with flexible configuration for fields, documents, approvals, reports and workflows. Integrations or development can be added where needed.
From Evaluation to Go-Live
Choosing the software is only one part of an ERP project. Catalyst helps translate your operational requirements into a practical Odoo solution and supports the decisions, preparation and delivery required to make it work.
Discovery and Solution Design
We begin by understanding your current systems, business processes, operational problems and future requirements; From this, we identify the appropriate Odoo applications, define the required workflows and establish a realistic implementation scope.
This ensures the project begins with a business case and delivery plan rather than a collection of software features.
Configuration and Implementation
Catalyst configures Odoo around the agreed business processes, including users, permissions, products, pricing, workflows, documents, notifications and reporting.
The system is built and reviewed progressively so that decisions can be validated before they become embedded in the finished solution.
Data Migration and Integration
Existing data may need to be extracted, cleaned, mapped and imported from accounting systems, legacy ERP platforms, spreadsheets or other applications.
Where external systems must remain, Catalyst can help define and deliver practical integrations that reduce duplicate entry while maintaining clear ownership of business information.
Testing, Training and Go-Live
Before launch, key business processes are tested from beginning to end using realistic scenarios. Users are trained around their responsibilities and everyday tasks rather than receiving generic product demonstrations.
Go-live support then helps the business resolve early issues, stabilise the system and identify the next priorities for improvement.
Build an Odoo Roadmap for Your Business
Whether you are evaluating Odoo, replacing existing systems or improving an established Odoo environment, Catalyst can help you define the right next step.
