Odoo Project for teams that bill their time
Odoo Project tracks tasks, timesheets and budgets on the same database as sales and accounting. A sold service can create the project automatically, logged time can be invoiced, and project profitability shows costs and revenue together.
Overview
The short version
We configure projects for consultancies, agencies, engineering firms and internal teams, including resource planning and customer portals.
ERP Builders is an independent Odoo services company and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Odoo S.A. “Odoo” is a trademark of Odoo S.A.
01
What we configure
Project setup follows how you sell and deliver work.
Templates and stages
Project templates with tasks, stages and responsibilities that match your delivery method.
Timesheets
Time entry by task on desktop or mobile, with approval before invoicing.
Billing
Time and materials, fixed price and milestone invoicing from sales orders.
Planning

Profitability you can see
Project updates show budget, timesheet cost, expenses, purchases and invoiced revenue together. That is the report most services firms never had before Odoo, and it only works when timesheets are entered weekly.
