Choosing the right Odoo integrator is a crucial step in ensuring the success of your ERP project: discover our practical tips to help you make the best choice.
We support you in a key step for your business: the integration of the Odoo ERP (or any other similar tool). It is now time to choose a trusted partner to guide you throughout this transition.
To assist you in this process, we have created a guide in the form of a checklist. You can use it as a simple validation list or as a more in-depth evaluation tool. In this case, we recommend assigning a value from 1 to 100 to each criterion, and then scoring these criteria based on the responses provided by the integrator. This will give you an objective decision-making tool that aligns with your priorities.
Knowledge and expertise of the system
This may seem obvious, but it is a central point. A poor understanding of the system can lead to dangerous choices for the future, such as implementing unnecessary custom developments instead of using standard solutions.
- Check the certifications of the integrators.
- Check out reviews from other customers.
- Make sure that the tasks are supervised by experienced analysts
Reputation, experience, and viability
The reputation of an integrator is based on their achievements and the satisfaction of their clients. A relationship with an integrator is also long-term.
- Find out about the number of similar projects completed.
- Ask to speak with an existing customer to understand the strengths and weaknesses.
- Check the financial stability of the company.
- Be cautious with custom developments, which are often difficult for another integrator to take over.
Support, monitoring, and training
The implementation is just the beginning. The success of an ERP also depends on ongoing support and proper training to make your teams self-sufficient.
- Make sure that the integrator provides responsive and tailored support service.
- Prioritize an offer that includes sufficient training for your key users.
Mastery of the sector and regional specifics
An integrator must master the essential aspects of your industry as well as the local specifics, particularly in accounting.
- Make sure he invests time to understand the specifics of your profession.
- Check their experience with businesses in your area.
Documentation and team rotation
The documentation is crucial for ensuring the continuity of the project, especially in the case of team turnover, which can increase the budget and timelines.
- Make sure that the documentation is complete and usable by other stakeholders.
- Prefer an integrator with a stable team.
Subsidies
Grants are available for this type of project.
- Ask if the integrator provides the necessary documents and at what cost.
- Consult our page dédiée on this subject.
Methodology
An experienced integrator should be able to clearly describe their methodology.
- Request a detailed breakdown of the steps, from pre-analysis to go-live.
Language and values
Communication and human relations are essential in an ERP project.
- Make sure that the team speaks the language(s) of your staff to avoid any misunderstandings.
- Choose a team that shares your values and with whom communication feels natural.
