Knowing your software is enough for a smooth implementation... Think again.
At OptimySME, we know successful Odoo projects need more than just technical skill; it takes meticulous project management, transparent tracking, and clear communication from the very start.
Odoo goes a step further - business analysts manage every part of the implementation process using Odoo itself. Yes, the same tool they are rolling out for clients is the one they live and breathe internally.
(Here's the secret behind their remarkable consistency and clarity.)
One Tool, Many Roles, Complete Transparency
From planning and task management, to timesheets and documentation - everything is tracked inside Odoo. Bouncing between dozens of apps and navigating the maze of email threads is no longer a daily chore!
Every analyst, client, and developer works from the same platform, which means fewer surprises and faster resolutions for everyone:
Direct product launches - from sales orders, instantly turning ideas into clear action plans.
Portal access - for every stakeholder to the portal, making updates and deadlines easy to see.
Embedded documentation - it's not an afterthought; it’s embedded into the daily workflow from day one.
The Partnership: Business Analyst and the 'Spark'
Each project pairs a dedicated business analyst with the client’s ‘spark’ - the single point of contact who truly knows the business, has decision-making power, and keeps momentum going.
The power couple ensures:
- Smooth progress from kickoff to go-live.
- Fast communication and problem-solving
- Clear accountability = reduced bottlenecks
Documentation Isn’t Just Paperwork
It's the game-changer. Why projects slow down when someone new takes over? Why is it hard to trace why a decision was made?
Odoo’s implementation method keeps detailed documentation as a cornerstone:
- Logging - every decision, note, and change is logged to one knowledge base.
- Future thinking - for future system upgrades, support, and cross-team collaboration.
- Information gathering - brief for quick jobs, thorough for longer and more complex integrations.
- Accessibility - clients can view and even contribute, making handovers and troubleshooting simpler.
Tailored for Every Size of Project
Odoo analysts don’t apply a one-size-fits-all approach! The project’s scope and complexity define the pace and detail level; quick four-hour setup or sprawling 500-hour customisation, the implementation breaks down into phases with clear deliverables, all managed inside Odoo.
- Small projects - to-do lists and timesheets with clear scheduling.
- Larger projects - breaks down tasks into subtasks and milestones, with shared tracking across the team.
Why This Matters to Your SME
Because the business analyst team uses Odoo as their project management backbone, transparency and accountability are baked in. Clients see progress, budget use, and upcoming steps in real time.
No more blurry processes or missed tasks. Odoo offers clarity, unity and continuous improvement, the kind of foundation your SME needs to succeed with ERP! Click here to learn more.
