While the goal is to minimize unnecessary developments to ensure an optimal return on investment, there are situations where advanced customizations are essential. These adjustments may include modifying existing features, automating certain workflows, creating dedicated modules, or integrating with external tools.
Each development must meet a specific business need and provide real added value to the company.
When should you opt for custom development in Odoo?
Although Odoo's philosophy is based on using its standard features, there are situations where custom developments are necessary to meet your company's specific requirements.
In such cases, it is essential to limit customizations to aspects that provide real added value while ensuring the solution's sustainability and simplicity.
Custom developments are particularly recommended when:
- Business processes are complex or very specific and cannot be effectively covered by Odoo's standard features.
- There is a need for integration with external tools (CRM, e-commerce platforms, logistics solutions, etc.) that require custom connectors.
- Advanced automation is required to improve process efficiency without manual intervention.
- Regulatory or industry-specific requirements impose custom adjustments to comply with local standards.
Who is
our custom Odoo
development service aimed at?
Custom development for Odoo is aimed at companies with specific needs, often related to their
industry
or the complexity of their business processes.
Whether you're in the startup phase,
migration, or digital transformation, we help you adapt Odoo to your requirements
and ensure that the ERP is truly aligned with your strategic goals.
Here are the types of businesses that will particularly benefit from our custom development service:
Companies with complex or unique business processes
Some business models simply don't fit into standard ERP features — and that's perfectly normal.
Companies with specialized or complex workflows often need custom developments to run efficiently and stay competitive.
They allow you to:
- reflect your specific business rules,
- handle exceptions or multi-step processes,
- and connect workflows across departments.
Whether it’s advanced production, pricing rules, or logistics flows, we build solutions tailored to your reality — not the other way around.
Companies with advanced integration requirements.
Your ERP doesn't operate in a vacuum — it needs to communicate with the rest of your ecosystem.
For businesses relying on several tools to manage sales, logistics, or customer relations, seamless integration is critical.
We develop custom connectors and APIs to:
- synchronize data between Odoo and your CRM, e-commerce, WMS, or POS systems,
- automate information exchange and reduce manual input,
- and ensure consistency and real-time visibility across platforms.
These integrations help you unify operations, eliminate silos, and build a truly connected digital architecture — all while keeping Odoo at the core
Companies transitioning from another ERP
Migrating from another ERP? We've got you covered.
Switching from a legacy system like SAP, Sage, or Microsoft Dynamics often means dealing with custom workflows, data structures, and user habits that don't fit Odoo’s standard.
Our team helps you:
- replicate critical functionalities through custom developments,
- smooth the transition with adapted interfaces and logic,
- and ensure your teams can continue working without disruption.
We focus on making the change painless — so you can move forward without losing what works.
Companies seeking advanced automation
Looking to automate complex workflows or repetitive tasks?
Custom development can take you further. While Odoo includes powerful automation tools, some businesses require more advanced or industry-specific automations.
We help you:
- trigger actions based on complex rules or combinations of events,
- automate multi-step approvals, data checks, or exception handling,
- and reduce manual work while improving accuracy and speed.
Custom automation not only boosts efficiency — it also frees your teams to focus on what really matters.
Companies undergoing digital transformation
Digital change needs flexibility — your ERP too.
If you're redesigning your processes, scaling operations, or moving from spreadsheets to integrated systems, standard tools might not fit every need.
With custom development, we help you:
- gradually digitalize your workflows while keeping control,
- adapt Odoo to your evolving structure, roles, and rules,
- and support your teams with solutions that feel intuitive and aligned.
Your ERP becomes a driver of change — not a constraint.
Companies with specific compliance requirements
Compliance matters — your ERP should follow.
Whether it's traceability, legal archiving, tax declarations, or sector-specific certifications, standard Odoo features don’t always cover your compliance needs.
We develop tailored solutions to:
- enforce legal and regulatory constraints directly in your workflows,
- generate reports and documents required by authorities,
- and ensure full traceability and auditability of critical operations.
With custom development, your ERP helps you stay compliant without slowing you down.
The different
types of
developments
on Odoo
When it is necessary to customize Odoo to meet your company's specific needs, there are several types of developments we can implement. Each development aims to improve productivity, optimize workflows, and ensure better integration with your existing tools.
Here are the main types of custom developments we offer:
1Customization of existing features
Odoo's standard features are powerful, but some businesses have specific needs that require
adjustments. Customizing existing modules allows you to tailor Odoo to your business
requirements without starting from scratch.
Odoo offers a strong set of standard features, but sometimes they need a little twist to fully match your business.
Instead of reinventing the wheel, we adapt existing modules to reflect your specific processes, rules, and constraints.
Customizations may include:
- adding new fields or filters to simplify data entry and reporting,
- modifying business logic (e.g. specific approval flows, pricing structures),
- or adjusting how forms, views, or actions behave to match your team’s workflow.
This approach helps keep your ERP close to the standard while delivering a better fit and easier user adoption.
2Workflow automation
Custom automations are necessary when a business process is too complex or specific to be handled by Odoo's standard automation features. These developments aim to meet particular needs, integrate external systems, or manage advanced workflows that are not covered...
Some workflows are just too specific or complex for standard automation tools.
That’s where custom automation comes in — to streamline your operations, reduce manual effort, and ensure consistency.
We build tailored workflows to:
- trigger actions based on advanced business rules,
- automate multi-step validations or alerts,
- and orchestrate interactions between users, documents, and modules.
Whether you're managing complex order approvals, proactive stock alerts, or automated billing flows, we design automation that works the way your business does.
3Creation of specific new modules
When your company's needs cannot be met by Odoo's standard modules, developing custom modules
becomes necessary. These modules are designed to address unique business requirements while
seamlessly integrating with Odoo.
When no existing module fits your needs, we build one — from scratch, but never in a silo.
Some business processes are so unique or strategic that they require a dedicated, fully integrated solution within Odoo.
We design custom modules to:
- support operations not covered by the standard suite (e.g. specific production flows, service management, or niche regulatory needs),
- offer features built around your internal logic and user experience,
- and integrate seamlessly with the rest of your Odoo ecosystem.
Each module is developed with scalability, maintainability, and long-term efficiency in mind.
4Integration with external tools (APIs & connectors)
One of Odoo's strengths is its ability to integrate with other tools through APIs and specific
connectors. We can develop custom integrations to connect Odoo with your other business
systems
and external software, creating a cohesive and efficient digital ecosystem.
Our company specializes in consulting, product development, and customer support. We tailor our services to fit the unique needs of businesses across various sectors, helping them grow and succeed in a competitive market.
5Customization of documents and reports
The documents and reports generated by Odoo are essential for tracking and analyzing your
company's activity. When standard reports do not meet specific needs, we create customized
documents tailored to your requirements.
Standard documents and reports don’t always reflect how your business operates or what your teams need.
We customize Odoo’s outputs to match your workflows, compliance obligations, and decision-making needs.
This includes:
- designing professional, branded layouts for invoices, delivery slips, quotations, etc.,
- creating specific reports with KPIs tailored to your business (margin per client, order cycle time, etc.),
- and automating the generation and distribution of recurring documents.
With the right reports and documents, your ERP becomes a true tool for control and insight — not just a record-keeping system.

Odoo Studio
: an alternative to custom developments?
Odoo Studio is ideal for small businesses or minor adjustments. It allows you to customize Odoo without coding by adding custom fields, modifying views, or creating simple reports. It is a quick and easy solution for basic needs.
However, for complex automations, deep modifications of business logic, or integrations with external systems, Odoo Studio has its limitations. In these cases, custom development is necessary to meet the specific requirements of the business.
Development only
on Odoo SH and
Odoo On Premise
Custom developments are only possible on Odoo SH (dedicated cloud mode) and Odoo On-Premise (local installation). These two options provide the flexibility needed to deeply customize the ERP and integrate specific features that are not covered by the standard version or Odoo Studio.
If you are using Odoo Online (SaaS), you are limited to standard features and basic customizations via Odoo Studio, without the possibility of specific developments or advanced integrations. With Odoo SH and Odoo On-Premise, we have full control over the architecture, allowing us to tailor the ERP to your needs while ensuring compatibility with future Odoo updates.
Migrating a custom development comes at a cost.
When a custom development is made on Odoo, there is a cost associated with its migration
during updates or version changes.
These costs arise from several factors:
Adaptation to new versions
Each new version of Odoo may introduce changes that make certain custom developments incompatible. Migration requires updating the code, checking its compatibility, and adapting the custom features to ensure they continue to function correctly.
Additional maintenance time
Custom developments increase the ERP's maintenance time, as each update or system modification must be tested to ensure it doesn't impact the existing customizations.
Risk of technical debt
If developments are not properly executed or documented, it can create technical debt, making future updates longer and more expensive. It is therefore important to optimize developments so that they are as scalable and maintainable as possible.
