At We Doo Accounting, we don’t just support our clients in their digital transformation - we live it every day! Just like our clients, we use Odoo to manage our accounting firm. And just one month after the new version was released, we successfully upgraded from version 17 to version 18.
Why Did Our Migration Go So Smoothly?
✅ Prioritizing Odoo’s Native Functionality – We have always relied on Odoo’s standard features, ensuring a quick and efficient transition without major technical complications.
✅ Minimizing Custom Developments – By avoiding unnecessary modifications, we keep our system lightweight, allowing us to take full advantage of updates and new features without restrictions.
✅ Adding a Few Relational Fields to Structure Our Data – These minor adjustments help us better organize and leverage our data without altering the system’s core architecture.
This approach enabled us to upgrade seamlessly, with no service interruptions and minimal costs.
Our Experience After 3 Years of Using Odoo in Our Accounting Firm
✨ When starting a business, as we did with We Doo Accounting, it’s rare to have a perfectly structured organization, well-defined processes, and a clear strategy. That’s why it’s crucial to rely on an ERP like Odoo, which allows you to gradually structure your operations and adapt to changes—without needing custom developments right away.
Before investing in custom developments, it’s essential to establish a solid foundation :
🔍 Define and refine your internal processes
🏗️ Structure your organization to ensure controlled growth
🎯 Clarify your strategy to guide your technology choices effectively
Once these foundations are in place, specific developments can be considered to optimize bottlenecks and add real value to the business.
💡 Our Advice:
1️⃣ Use Odoo as it is designed
2️⃣ Identify bottlenecks as your structure evolves
3️⃣ Develop custom features only where they truly add value
This philosophy allowed us to be fully operational immediately after our upgrade. It’s a strategy that works just as well for our clients!
