Migration
Move to Odoo without losing data, or downtime.
From SAP, NetSuite, Tally, Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, Microsoft Dynamics, MYOB, and earlier Odoo versions. We extract, reconcile, validate in a sandbox, and cut over on a planned weekend with a rollback plan we never need.
Right for you if
- Your incumbent ERP is reaching end-of-life, end-of-support, or end-of-patience.
- You have years of historical data you cannot afford to lose.
- You want to keep operating during the migration, not freeze the business for a month.
Not right for you if
- You expect a like-for-like clone of your old system in Odoo. Migration is a chance to fix what was wrong, not preserve it.
Methodology
How a Migration engagement actually runs.
6 phases. Every artefact written down, every decision logged, every handover documented.
-
01
Audit
Inventory of source data: tables, record counts, sample integrity, foreign-key coverage, attachments, custom fields. Output is a written migration plan with risk register.
-
02
Map
Field-level mapping from source to Odoo. Where Odoo standard fields cannot accept the data, we propose a configuration or, rarely, a custom field. Every decision logged.
-
03
Extract
Source data pulled via the cleanest mechanism the incumbent supports: API, SQL, formal export, vendor-supplied dump. Idempotent and re-runnable.
-
04
Reconcile
Counts and totals reconciled against source. Anything that does not match is investigated, not papered over. Reconciliation reports go to you.
-
05
Sandbox load
Full load into a sandbox Odoo instance. Your team UATs in their own time. Two iterations are normal; we plan for them.
-
06
Cutover
Final delta migration on a planned weekend. Switch over Monday morning with a written runbook and a rollback plan we never need.

Frequently asked
Questions about Migration.
Will we lose any data in the migration? +
No. Reconciliation against the source happens at every stage and the cutover is gated on you signing off the totals. If a record cannot be migrated cleanly we log it, fix the mapping, and rerun. Records are never silently dropped.
How much downtime is involved? +
Typically zero working-hours downtime. The cutover happens on a planned weekend with the final delta extract on Saturday morning. By Monday at 09:00 your team logs in to Odoo. We have done this with no exceptions.
Can we keep the old system available read-only? +
Yes, and we recommend it for the first 90 days. Your finance team can still pull old reports while everyone learns the new system.
What if we are migrating from a system you have not seen before? +
Our process is system-agnostic. The tools change but the discipline does not. Every migration starts with a free 30-minute call to see if the source system is a good fit; if it is not, we will say so.
